The purpose of logging roads is an effective carting out of the planned amount of harvested wood. Main problems: the problem of increasing transport accessibility of forest resources; the need to take into account and neutralize the negative impact of factors that affect the carting out of harvested wood; minimize costs across the entire supply chain. All these problems are affected by natural and climatic factors. Based on the analysis of the practical experience of logging companies, the amount of moisture in the ground has a large influence on the start of operation of summer roads. It was found that at the beginning of the summer logging road operation season, in addition to the water and heat regime (precipitation and their amount), the amount of moisture in the soil is also affected by the moisture of meltwater. Retention of meltwater in the soil depends on the freezing of the soil in the autumn-winter period, as a result, the most freezing of soils occurs when there is an excess amount of water in the soil. Research in this area is topical, since the amount of precipitation before constantly falling snow in the autumn period has an impact on the process of retention of meltwater in the ground and has a significant influence on the beginning of timber carting out in the summer. As a result, the purpose of the research is to analyze the influence of precipitation in the spring period, positive air temperature and amount of water in the soil in the autumn period on the beginning of timber carting out along summer roads, as well as to compile a corresponding regression model. The object of this research is data on the dates of the beginning of timber carting out in the summer from the logging territories of enterprises in the Krasnoyarsky kray

One of the solutions of water-alternating gas injection technology and utilizing of associated petroleum gas enhancement is application of pump-ejector system technology, which uses a liquid-jet gas pump (LJGP) as a water and gas mixer. This paper is devoted to the test bench studies of the LJGP's performance characteristics with change of the mixing throat's length at excess pressures of the ejected gas. As a result of the bench studies, it was obtained that the excess pressures of the ejected gas P_in require a different approach when choosing the optimum length of the LJGP's mixing throat, as compared to atmospheric pressure. So, it was determined that at Pin from 0.05 to 0.18 MPa, a long mixing chamber should be chosen, and Pin from 0.18 to 0.6 MPa, the optimal length is medium. It was also obtained that with an increase in P_in, the optimum working range of the mixing throat lengths increases, which makes it possible to select the mixing throat in wider ranges, without losing the efficiency of the LJGP. With the optimal length of the mixing throat, the highest gas injection coefficients were in the range of P_in = 0.2 – 0.5 MPa.

The growth of cities causes changes in the natural landscape and is associated with the construction of structures on natural and artificial slopes. In this regard, large areas become susceptible to landslide danger. The paper considered slip microslides that appear on the slopes of urbanized areas. The functional dependence of the coefficient of friction in soil on moisture, density and type of soil was obtained on the basis of considering soil moisture as a phase that has interfaces with soil air and the solid phase of the soil. For gray forest and soddy podzolic soils, the values of moisture content (0.30±0.04 m³/m³ and 0.22±0.04 m³/m³, respectively) were revealed, at which the stickiness of the soil begins to affect the friction. Using the obtained dependence of the coefficient of friction in the soil on moisture, density and type of soil, an expression was proposed to estimate the ratio of the thickness and length of a landslide for various angles of slope inclination. The carried out numerical estimates of geometric landslide characteristics were consistent with real landslide processes on artificial slopes of urban planning objects.

The investigation of multistage centrifugal booster pump performance when delivering water-gas mixtures in configuration water jet gas pump at excess pressure intake chamber. As a dispersing device for a water-gas mixture used WJGP of various designs flow path with diaphragm nozzles having rectangular edges were used. When gas supplies at excess pressures from 0.2 to 0.37 MPa into intake chamber of water jet gas pump, it promotes the formation of a finely dispersed water-gas mixture, which leads to reduce the effect of free gas on the performance of the booster pump's. When intake pressure of pump rises, the stability of the water-gas mixture also increases. When an increase in pressure at the inlet of the booster pump, the curves of the shaft rotation frequency - the input gas content acquire a flatter form.

The paper considers the problem of different understanding of the content of food self-sufficiency and food independence, the problem of methodology for assessing these criteria as components of food security. The author made an attempt to systematize the indicators according to the differences in the assessment method and the purpose of indicators, carried out a critical analysis of the methods. The author compares the indicators developed by The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the CIS Statistical Committee (Russia), an analysis of the method that takes into account rational nutritional standards and the method for assessing the overall level of independence of the country, included in the Food Security Doctrine. There were proposed modifications of the methods for calculating indicators by the author.

Rational use of associated petroleum gas (APG) is the most important task of the oil industry. One of the options for its solution can be the use of pump-ejector systems for injecting APG together with water into the reservoir when implementing simultaneous water and gas injection (SWAG) in order to increase oil sweeping. However, the problem of increasing the pressure developed by the pump-ejector system is currently insufficiently studied issue. This paper presents an improved layout of the pump-ejector system, recommendations for the optimal composition of the working fluid, as well as the calculation of the system for the conditions of one of the fields in the Ural-Volga region.

Changes in the agrochemical state of old arable soils on two-membered sediments under the formed mature stands of pine and spruce in the Leningrad region of Russia are considered. It is noted that different pH and organic substances content of soil profile is observed depending on rock composition and granulometric condition of soils. The greatest acidification of all horizons along the soil profile occurs in stands with spruce predominance. At all objects studied the humus content is higher in the horizon of formed forest soil. The largest organic substances stock in the former arable horizon is found in areas dominated by pine. In general, in the investigated sites with spruce and pine stands in the soil complex, the amount of mobile phosphorus (P2O5) decreases as the pH value increases along the genetic horizons. As for mobile forms of potassium (K2O), the dependence of its content reduction on the genetic horizons of the soil in the bottom profile from litter to loamy bedding is observed, where there is some increase in its content. High potassium content in postagrogenous soils under the forest indicates the ability of the soil to keep its level in equilibrium for a long time. The return of the former old arable soils and the native state has not yet happened.

Environmental pollution has reached dangerous levels in many countries, including Russia. Given the fact that the main source of such anthropogenic impact on nature is production, the question of the impact on the economic sector naturally arises in order to influence the stabilization of the situation with the state of modern ecology. Environmental engineering is such a complex tool. At the same time, several levels of it should be distinguished: national, acting on the whole state and establishing the main, fundamental propositions addressed to all its subjects; regional, taking into account the economic and climatic and natural specifics of a particular region; local, at the level of a specific enterprise. This article reveals some aspects of the regional engineering on the example of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, given that the ecological problem is the most acute for this region, given that the region takes the first places in the Russian Federation (and its individual settlements – in the world) by the level of contamination.

The results of microbiological studies of epoxy binders for bio-contamination are presented. At least 3 groups of microorganisms were selected from the samples presented for the study: actinobacteria of the genus S. albus (from hardener); spore-forming bacteria of the genus B. atropheus and pathogenic mold fungi of the genus A. fumigatus from a sample of hardened epoxy resin, which indicates the contamination of materials by microflora, which can cause biodeterioration in finished products and polymer composite materials manufacturing process.

A large variety of microorganisms was isolated. It has been established that the soil cover and atmospheric air in the area of polygon climatic tests in the city of Yakutsk contain various types of microorganisms, including pathogenic species of mold fungi of the genus Aspergillus, which are highly likely to have biological agents of experimental samples. in contact with soil and atmospheric air in the landfill. What is confirmed by the results of microbiological studies.

In recent years, the share of marginal wells has been steadily increasing in the structure of the mechanized stock. But traditional types of artificial lift, such as sucker rod pumping units, have many disadvantages. Therefore, manufacturers of oil equipment are faced with the urgent tasks of creating innovative products that allow efficient production of fluid in wells with low flow rates. The article presents a diagram and components of the installation of an EP01 submersible electric plunger pump with a linear valve motor. A description of her work is given. The advantages of using the unit during the operation of marginal oil wells are shown.

Fluid accumulation is one of the most common occurrences in the gas wells of the Yamburgskoye field, as the field entered a later period of gas well production. Fluid accumulation is not always easy to predict and recognize because a thorough diagnostic analysis of the well data is required, but accurate prediction of the problem is vital for timely action to be taken. Three methods are considered for determining the minimum required flow rates for the removal of water from flooded wells under the Yamburgsky conditions.

The article discusses the use of separators of mechanical impurities in linear electric plunger submersible pumps units in oil wells. The advantages of these units and their area of application are highlighted. The diagram and description of the bench for conducting researches on the study of submersible unit assembly of the electric plunger pump together with a separator of gas and mechanical impurities are shown. Formulas and results of calculating the settling rate of particles of different diameters are presented. The main dependences of the change in the settling rate of particles depending on the viscosity of the liquid have been determined.

This article examines global climate changes occurring in the Arctic region of Yakutia through the consciousness of the indigenous peoples of the North as expressed in their mythology. It turned out that the small numbered people native to this territory for hundreds of years preserved and continue mythologizing the changes they see in the surroundings while adapting to them and interpreting them according to the folk wisdom, mythological images, and ethnic moral standards. While the global changes have been scientifically rationalized, the locals do not see these changes as disastrous, which allows them to go on surviving in extreme climate conditions, even though adverse natural, industrial and anthropogenic impacts on their lifestyles, health, and moral standards should not be underestimated. Besides, the authors focus on the correlations between the meteorological factors and the disease rate among the local populace. The dispersion analysis methods were used and explained to illustrate this causal link. The authors pioneer in combining and comparing modern scientific knowledge of the life of the northerners, the impact of various adverse factors on their lives, and the folklore of the indigenous Northern peoples. This research used general theoretical and empirical methods, and to some extent, specialized methods including cross-subject methods to analyze the complex environmental, economic, and spiritual processes and phenomena in the lives of the indigenous peoples in the Arctic region of Yakutia.

Research carried out in EU countries resulted into the conclusion about the high environmental hazard of garbagelandfills. These studies found the need changes in attitudes towards solid municipal wastenot as waste, but as renewable energyresource, with huge daily renewal. Basedof these studies, the author created a mobile complexprocessing, this infinitely renewableresource, in electricity and energy carriers, which is intended forelimination of authorized and unauthorized landfills.

In accordance with the scheme of the experiment animals in the control group received the basic diet (BD), Experimental Group I–BD + feed additive, replacing 30% of the concentrated part of the ration with the inclusion of salts of sulfates of cobalt and manganese, Group II – BD + feed additive, replacing 30% of the concentrated part of the ration with the inclusion of nano - and microparticles of cobalt and manganese.

In situ studies found that the dry matter digestibility of feed additives containing chemically pure metal particles of cobalt and manganese and inactivated feed yeast was 15.4-20.0% (P<0.05) lower than in additives with wheat bran. However, when simulating rennet digestion (in vitro), it was found that the dry matter digestibility of feed additives containing chemically pure metal particles of cobalt and manganese and inactivated feed yeast increased by 1.5-2.2% in relation to additives containing wheat bran. Comparing the availability of pure manganese, we note that in the mixture with feed yeast, it was higher than with bran by more than 2.6 times. Similar values were observed for its inorganic form.

In the course of laboratory studies, we found that the porosity (in volume) of zeolite acetone is 34.4%. The sorption capacity of the studied zeolite to the Bifidobacterium longum strain together with the MRS nutrient medium was determined. As a result of the experiment, it was found that 100 g of zeolite absorbs 34 ml of nutrient medium with bifidobacteria. The optimal dose of feeding a complex probiotic preparation (CPP) – 30.5 g/day included 82% zeolite and 18% probiotic strain of Bifidobacterium longum. The coefficients of digestibility of nutrients were slightly higher in bulls from the experimental groups compared to their peers from the control group. So for dry matter, respectively, by 1.87%, 4.68 and 3.58%; crude protein by 2.22%, 5.00 and 3.48%; BEV by 1.24%, 3.19 and 2.20%. The control animals absorbed less nitrogen compared to the bulls of the I, II and III experimental groups by 14.52%, 30.14 and 21.78%. According to the use of the nitrogenous part of the rations, the animals of the experimental groups outperformed their counterparts from the control group by 2.13%, 5.00%, and 3.38%, respectively. On average, during the experiment period, the bulls of the I - III experimental groups had an advantage over the animals from the control group in absolute live weight gain by 1.4%, 14.9 and 6.7%, and in average daily weight gain by 1.4%, 14.8 and 6.7%.

Analysis of the components of investment potential and investment risk in industrial regions of Russia shows that the most critical for most of them are environmental risks. Therefore, the necessary condition for increasing investment attractiveness and ensuring sustainable development of these regions is the optimization of environmental risks, and the main indicators of their sustainable development can be considered indicators that characterize the environmental safety and environmental risks of the population. However, currently there are no methods for quantitative and statistically reliable assessment of technogenic environmental risks of causing harm to the health of the population of a particular region, taking into account factors specific to this region. To assess and forecast environmental risks, it is proposed to use methods and models of data mining, which use data from long-term observations of the state of the environment and statistical data on the health of the population of these regions.

Achievements in the field of lunar research over the past 10-15 years have brought a lot of important information about the Moon and its interior. In particular, a high-resolution orbital survey performed from low lunar orbit by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) station has revealed details of the structure of impact craters, which were not even suspected before. For example, rivers and non-frozen lakes of molten lunar soil in the area of Tycho crater. Another impressive example is the glacier-like tongues of lunar rocks flowing from the central peaks of young impact craters. Or the unexpectedly high frequency of meteorite impacts on the lunar surface. Results of this kind can significantly affect future plans for the exploration of the Moon by automatic weapons and expeditions with a crew. They can also make a noticeable contribution to fundamental research. In this work, using a specific example of the Aitken crater, the possibilities of studying the relief in young impact craters based on photogrammetric processing of orbital images of the lunar surface are shown. The problems of a computational nature in the creation of 3D-models of the lunar relief and their referencing to the selenocentric coordinate system are also considered.

The Western Ciscaucasia, which occupies the flat part of the Krasnodar Territory, is a unique natural site of the Southern Federal District of the Russian Federation. The soil covering of this region is characterized by domination of fertile super-deep and deep Kuban chernozems. However, their intensive use has led to an imbalance between their effective and potential fertility, as evidenced by a decrease in humus reserves and a worsening of its qualitative composition; depletion in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium; acidification; heavy metal pollution; and, consequently, an ecological imbalance in the soil–plant system.

The basis of environmental management is the balance of resources consumed and the possibility of their restoration. In agroecosystems, the main resources consumed are plant nutrients, the main of which is nitrogen. Among the sources of nitrogen reduction, the main role belongs to mineral fertilizers, but the only safe source of nitrogen supply to plants is biological nitrogen.

To increase the activity of symbiotrophic microorganisms and increase the amount of biological nitrogen, biological preparations are used. The action of biological preparations is specific and is determined by agroecological factors, the genotype of plants and the cultivated agricultural crop. The article presents data on the study of the effect of biological preparations (rhizoagrin, azorizine, rizotorfin and huminatrin) on varieties of spring common wheat, oats and pea. The influence of drugs on adaptability is determined, the determining indicators of which are plant survival and grain yield. As a result of the studies, the most responsive varieties were identified for drug processing, more effective drugs, as well as the processing method — separate or joint use.

The article is aimed at developing a technology for mining valuable ores with maximum preservation of natural contacts of ore zones with empty rocks and reduction of mixing of the rock mass during explosive loosening. A new method for working out local areas of mineralization in strong rocks using explosive loosening of rocks in the conditions of natural "clamping" by a natural array with decelerations between successive bursts of borehole charges above 300 MS is proposed. This allows you to achieve a minimum displacement of the exploded rock mass in both horizontal and vertical directions without any additional costs.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the names of the gold mines of the Barguzinsky district in the late. 19 - early. XX centuries The research material was previously unpublished archival sources and field materials of the author in 2018-2019. According to the archival records of the Barguzin district, about three hundred names were considered, taking into account their location, area, owner data and registration dates of the site. The names of the gold mines in the Barguzin District were studied in the context of the topological tradition of cultural geography. The typology of names is carried out, the differentiating factors of the nomination of the socio-cultural space in the private gold industry are highlighted. Relationships between the subjects of gold mining are considered through the prism of names of mines. The characteristic features of nominating mines in the context of the cultural landscape are shown. The growth of mines and the expansion of the types of their nomenclature were noted. An analysis of the names of the mines showed the importance of gold mining in increasing the number and strengthening of the Barguzin Jewish community, the growing role of gold mining in the livelihoods of Jewish and Russian peasants. The increase in their number reflects the expansion of the areas of gold mining and is directly related to the migration process in the second half. XIX century. The repetition of names indicates a massive increase in the number of gold miners and their role in the formation of toponymy. The system of creating new names borrowed to a lesser extent the indigenous toponyms of the region. Most of them arose as a result of a rethinking of the name by a native speaker.

In recent years, the export volumes of Russian coal to the Asia-Pacific countries have been continuously growing. Coal dust is among of the strongest air pollutants. The article describes the study of airborne particulate matter in large transport hubs of the Primorsky Krai (Russian Far East): Nakhodka city and Posyet urban-type settlement using the method of measuring the mass and quantitative concentrations of particulate matter. It is shown that the air of these areas is polluted with particulate matter with diameter below 10 microns (PM10). The absolute dominance of 0.3 μm and 0.5 μm particles was revealed in the air of both areas. According to the Russian hygienic standard, the maximum permissible concentrations of PM were exceeded only at several sampling points. However, when compared to some international standards, the content of PM exceeded maximum permissible values at 42% of sampling points in Nakhodka city and at 43% of sampling points in Posyet settlement. It is advisable to install systems for continuous environmental monitoring of air pollution with coal dust particles near coal terminals.

Literature data show that flavonoids are involved in the prevention of noncommunicable diseases. To draw upon such data so as to formulate recommendations, one needs flavonoid consumption statistics. This paper seeks to evaluate flavonoid consumption among the workers of a chemical facility and uses data from 24-hour meal reports. The sample contained reports from 480 participants (n = 480, 75% of whom are male; aged 22-69). The flavonoid content of their meals was counted using the USDA and Phenol-Explorer (PE) databases as well as data from literature. The research team quantified the presence of specific flavonoids as well as the total flavonoid content of the diet. As part of the study, we evaluated the flavonoid sources in the total daily consumption, including beverages, fruits, and vegetables. Flavonoids mainly came from tea, fruit, and fruit drinks. The average total flavonoid consumption varied from 226 mg/day in females aged 30 to 39 to 464 mg/day in males of the same age group; regardless of the age category, catechins were the most consumed flavonoids. There was a positive correlation between a person's degree, job, and daily average flavonoid consumption. This research produced data on the consumption of flavonoids among the workers of a chemical facility that could be of use when making dietary recommendations on such consumption.

The impact of oil products on river bottom sediments and their wettability is considered on the example of the small Kurcha-Murcha River. The wettability of bottom sediments (pollution up to 18000 mg/kg) was determined by the contact angle of wetting of the solid phase (method of static drop). It is shown that the contact angle of wetting can be used to assess the pollution level of the river bottom sediments.

Presently, a large volume of anthropogenic heavy metals enters the biosphere, a significant part of which is accumulated in the soil. To predict the environmental hazard of heavy metal contamination, it is necessary to know not only the extent of their flow but also the patterns of their behavior in various soil and geochemical conditions. The source of numerous pollutants: dust, poisonous substances, heavy metals, etc., are manufacturing industry dumps, exhaust gases of vehicles, residues of oil products (gas stations), mineral fertilizers, meliorants, pesticides, the effects of heavy agricultural equipment on the density and structure of the soil. Their accumulation in the environment leads to a disruption of ecological equilibrium, which along the chain can spread to sizable territories. Industrial centers are especially marked by soil pollution.

The use of numerical methods is a promising way to solve the problem of assessing ice impacts on structures. Among such methods the finite element method is the most prevalent. In its framework the cohesive element method was used in last years for modeling the destruction of ice and good results were obtained. However, a more thorough study of this approach is required. This article is part of numerical experiments performed to study the cohesive element method for solving ice problems. In this paper, the effect of element size on the result is studied. The principles of creating a numerical model are described and several conclusions and recommendations are made on the discretization of the model into finite elements of various sizes.

thermokarst refers to cryogenic processes, as a result of which characteristic relief forms are formed, as a result of melting of icy frozen soils or an ice complex. The study of the dynamics and distribution of modern thermokarst forms is important from the point of view of using them as one of the main indicators of the degradation of permafrost soils. In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles, which can create orthorectified images and digital terrain models (DTM) with very high spatial resolution, have been actively used to study thermokarst. This article provides an example of the use of UAVs in the study of the development of thermokarst in s. Uncure. Based on landscape-geomorphological studies and decoding of the created orthophotomap, the areas of thermokarst development were identified. The total land area covered by thermokarst is 0.66 km², which is 19.5% of the territory of the settlement. According to the classification of P.A. Solovyov, two types of thermokarst relief were distinguished here: bylary and alasy. The largest area is covered by bylars, which are the initial stage of the formation of Alas. They are formed as a result of melting of the upper part of revein ice and form a polygonal-lowland microrelief. More than 6,000 elementary polygons with a total area of 0.4 km² were discovered here. The landfill area varies from 6 m2 to 223 m², and the average area is 57 m². They are formed by local areas throughout the area of the village.

An innovative technology of informing passengers of civil aviation aircraft about the potential danger of an emergency in high-altitude flight is presented, based on the calculation in real time of estimates of the reserve time of preservation of consciousness by a person when the aircraft cabin is depressurized. The methodology for calculating the assessment of the reserve time for maintaining consciousness in an emergency of high-altitude flight provides for the calculation of adequate estimates of the reserve time for any values of speeds and profiles of changes in barometric pressure in the aircraft cabin and the time of exposure to a hypoxic environment. The implementation of personalized information about the danger of an emergency in high-altitude flight is made in two versions: a system with the integration of an aviation oxygen mask and a system with the integration of an aviation passenger seat. For the first time, the results of the study make it possible to implement an innovative personified approach to personified risk metrics and personified information about the potential danger of an emergency in high-altitude flight in real time. The developed approach and the systems implementing it will find application on aircraft, during the operation of which there is a risk of depressurization of the cabin and / or cabin; when conducting tests in pressure chambers with the participation of volunteers, when staying in high altitude conditions and when solving other practical problems related to ensuring the safety of human activity in conditions associated with exposure to hypoxia. The stated information-technological concept of integrating the computing resources of an aircraft into the physical processes of personalized information about the potential hazard of an emergency in high-altitude flight has wide practical applications in the field of ensuring the safe operation of complex systems in extreme conditions.

The paper presents data on halogens content (Br⁻, Cl⁻ and I⁻) in pore water of tight rocks of the Bazhenov Formation (BF) in the Nizhnevartovsk arch of Western Siberia, Russian Federation. We used an integrated approach to analyze 7 whole core samples with the maximum preserved natural water content from 2 different BF fields. Here for the first time, we show that the aqueous extract method can be used to estimate the iodine content in pore water of shale rocks. The target BF rock samples contain silicate minerals, clays, carbonates, pyrite, plagioclase, feldspar, have a high mass content of total organic carbon 5.99÷12.00 wt.%. The residual water content for all studied samples changes from 0.76 to 3.89 wt.%. We found that the Cl⁻ content in pore water varies from 1.4 to 14.2 g/l, Br⁻ from 1.58 to 36.99 mg/l and I⁻ from 2.93 to 36.11 mg/l. I⁻ and Br⁻ concentration in BF pore water is much higher than in seawater. The content of halogens varies unevenly with the well depth due to heterogeneity of the mineral composition of BF rocks even within one well. We discovered that the organic matter of BF almost completely releases the iodine in the pore solution due to diagenesis and katogenesis processes. All target BF samples have iodine in pore water, and only three BF samples have iodine in organomineral complex of rocks (1-3% of the total iodine content). The obtained results have a great importance because allow expanding the available data on the composition of pore waters in shale rocks of the Bazhenov Formation.

The article provides information on xerophilous vegetation and its classification from the point of view of ecology, physiology and morphology. The localization of the oeroxerophyte belt above the forest belt along river valleys and in the arid basins of the republic was noted. The vegetation cover here is complex and consists of numerous microgroups, which differ sharply from each other in their coenotic character, since they develop in arid conditions on mountain slopes characterized by a wide variety of microrelief elements. The belt is not continuous, it is located in spots in a chain of arid basins located between the Skalisty and Lateral ridges; the most significant areas are in the upper reaches of the Sharo-Argun and Chanty-Argun, but it reaches its greatest development within arid basins, occupying all the southern mountain slopes. A classification of xerophytes in the flora of the Russian Caucasus has been developed. The most important representatives of oeroxerophytes of various substrates and plant communities are indicated.

Environmental monitoring studies are of primary importance to assess the characteristics of anthropogenic changes in the environment on the territory of the Elginsky coking coal deposit, which is one of the largest resource potential of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). Due to the inaccessibility and territorial remoteness of the field, remote research methods are a valuable tool for environmental monitoring. The article shows the experience of using the satellite image analysis method for assessing anthropogenic impact and spatial detection of changes in the components of the natural environment in conjunction with field study. On the territory of the Elginsky deposit there is a complex of production, infrastructure and linear structures: coal mine, processing plant, hydraulic structures, shift camp, power transmission lines, roads and railways, as well as a railroad bridge under construction. Technical structures interact with the components of the natural environment and modify them, forming geotechnical (geotechnical) systems. Two geotechnical systems were considered in the article: (a) 'Elginsky coal mining complex - natural environment' and (b) 'River – Bridge' on the Undytkan River, formed as a result of interaction of the valley of the Undytkan River and a complex of linear road structures of railway track "Ulak – Elga". And the analysis of high-resolution satellite images, as well as data from expeditionary ground-based studies, made it possible to establish that the formation and functioning of the transport geotechnical system led to a change in a number of components of the natural environment — mesorelief, hydrological parameters of surface waters, inhibition of vegetation cover, and changes in soils associated with increased water level, as well as with icing processes.

The article considers the issues of soil fertility forecasting monitoring and substantiates the methods applied to the agricultural landscape of the Kuban river Delta on the example of assessing the initial state of arable land fertility. There was conducted the analysis of the properties of the Delta geosystems: openness, integrity, functioning, dynamics, evolution and structure of the geosystem. Environmental factors are indicated when considering the Delta geosystems. The dependence of the surface radiation balance on the terrain features is considered on the example of the Kuban river Delta. The need for a comprehensive assessment of agro-resource potential is justified due to the development of degradation processes in the soil. The criteria for long-term forecasting as a single integrated approach to the methodology of assessing agricultural resource potential are substantiated. An integral indicator of soil fertility was used to assess fertility. The specific natural-technogenic complexes of separate parts of the Delta geosystems in relation to the Kuban river are identified. The impact of human anthropogenic activity has led to a noticeable decrease in soil fertility, reduced reserves of biomass, humus and basic nutrients in the soil, a single comprehensive monitoring of the assessment of agro-resource potential of its availability and use is necessary as a result of the development of degradation processes. Assessment of land resources to determine the trend of soil formation processes and soil fertility dynamics of a specific territory is very relevant. It is necessary to justify the identification of the main factors that affect the process of changing soil fertility, biomass, humus and basic nutrients.

Nowadays, the problems of the road-and-street network are among the key priorities in big cities. This article studies the problems of streets and roads in Rostov-on-Don. It dwells upon one of the most complicated areas in the city, the southern side of the Ploshchad Vtoroy Pyatiletki square, including the adjoint Nemirovich-Danchenko st., and Sheboldayev st. The authors analyzed the current traffic pattern and identified its drawbacks. This junction is regularly congested, and accidents often happen in the area. The analysis of the southern side of the Ploshchad Vtoroy Pyatiletki square in Rostov-on-Don helped identify the traffic rate, driving conditions, and driving comfort. Based on these results, some actions were suggested to improve road safety in this area.

During the rapid flow of events of the XX century, there were structural changes in the world economy, which provided all the observed scientific and technological progress. High-tech industries have become the main factor in the development of world scientific and technological progress. In the second half of the XX century, a special category of technologies, industries and products was formed, which were called «science-intensive» or «high-tech». Before the next global financial crisis, it is most important to study the impact of the level of knowledge intensity of invested capital on economic efficiency. The article deals with the analysis of the knowledge intensity of invested capital. Knowledge intensity is an important parameter for determining the efficiency of the economy. The author introduced into scientific circulation indicators: knowledge intensity of invested capital, science intensity of gross regional product and investment return of gross regional product. The article reveals the influence of factors influencing the change in the knowledge intensity of the invested capital of the Irkutsk region of the Russian Federation and gives the author's methodological approaches to its calculation (the author's methods of factor analysis). The article presents the author's analytical, systematic statistical material for the analysis of key indicators revealing the impact on the change in the knowledge intensity of the invested capital of the Baikal region of the Russian Federation (Irkutsk region, Republic of Buryatia, Zabaikalsky Krai). The paper is produced in the framework of the scientific project of the Siberian branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences No. XI.174.1.4 «Activation of the internal development potential of regions of the resource specialization (on the example of the Baikal region)».

A theory developed in 1980 by U.A. Vinokurova and Yu.V. Yakovts proved the existence of the Arctic circumpolar civilization which includes, in their opinion, among other Russian regions the Sakha Republic (Yakutia). Aggravation of social and economic problems in this region, decline in the traditional activities of indigenous people caused by a budget reducing requires effective solution at the national level. This particular theory helps to draw attention to the region and fosters development of the natural and cultural heritage preservation programs. It provides ethnocultural development of indigenous people and protection of their primordial habitat and a traditional way of life.

In the work, within the framework of a new model for the development of the Russian Far East, the trends in the development of seaports for the period from 2000-2019 are studied. In this vein, a theoretical and methodological platform has been studied, which is used in the analysis of the relationship between the port and the region's economy, and an assessment of the economic effects for the region from the implementation of large projects in the medium term has been carried out. A quantitative analysis of the interdependencies between the specialization of the port and the regional economy was used. It has been established that the implementation of these projects in the medium term will not have a significant impact on the port region: the economic effects will gradually decrease, and the negative consequences will increase. Leveling transport costs through tax incentives of the Free Port of Vladivostok, on the one hand, will create competitive advantages for Russian cargo in the international market, and on the other hand, will stimulate a negative impact on port regions. The economic activity of the ports will not cause a chain reaction of industrial production growth in the port region. Consequently, ports can act exclusively as ports that affect the economy of the port region only through an increase in the volume of their work. For this reason, the priority issue in the development of coal ports in the medium term is the creation of modern specialized terminals with reliable environmental protection, which would combine social, economic and environmental values.

Sustainable development of rural territories in the conditions of territorial-production localization: methodological aspect. The issues of sustainable development of territories are given great attention. However, in most of the works, general statements of problems, concepts and principles prevail: an analysis of the sustainable development of territories, a comparative analysis of the development of various socio-economic systems in the regions and other general problems of the country's social and economic development. The insufficient depth of elaboration of conceptual provisions limits the practical value based on the recommendations existing in theories, aimed mainly at the sphere of macroeconomic regulation. This makes it necessary to further study the issues of sustainable development of rural territories. One of the promising areas is production and territorial localization. The local market is a market of a municipality of a region of the Russian Federation or part thereof, representing an economic system based on the principles of limited resources, characterized by the predominance of locally produced goods, unified logistics and a zone of price influence. Development is a process of qualitative and quantitative changes that enhance and improve the current state of the system, i.e. the process of transition from the old, simple to the new, more complex, higher, quantitative and qualitative state of the system. The concept of "development" is closely related to "management." When these concepts are correlated, the relation of the part to the whole is traced. The assessment of the level of development and location of local markets in rural areas was carried out on the basis of the adjusted XYZ analysis, which allowed us to predict development prospects.

The paper continues the authors' previous research on the development of high-tech industry in the Eurasian Economic Union (Issues Relating to the Hi-Tech Industry in the Eurasian Economic Union), in which the main features, problems, and ways of development of high-tech bionanoindustry have been determined and the further research areas formulated. In this study, the methodical form of solving previously identified bionanoindustry issues is creating innovative international bionanotechnology (industrial) clusters, including the arrangement of foresight centers within them to ensure convergence of technologies and foresight research and projects in the field of bio- and nanotechnology. To achieve the goal set in the study, a conceptual organizational model of an innovative international bionanotechnology cluster of the Eurasian Economic Union has been developed, the need for creating a foresight center as part of innovative international bionanotechnology clusters justified, and guidelines for its formation and estimation of efficiency elaborated. The further research area is improving the state cluster policy to develop high-tech complexes and scientific justification of creating engineering infrastructure within the innovative international bionanotechnology clusters, including the arrangement of engineering centers within them to provide various engineering services to small and medium-sized innovation enterprises forming the cluster, the performance of joint research and development, the acceleration of transferring technologies to large-scale production, and training staff qualified in bio-nano-oriented engineering.

In today's environment, the international community is facing a number of fundamental long-term problems, the solution of which is relevant for each country within the new paradigm of sustainable development. Key problems include the level of energy security of the national economy, increasing the energy efficiency of the national energy system, and increasing its environmental friendliness. The basis for the transition to sustainable energy is coordinated energy and tax policies. The latter should aim at establishing such rules and conditions for the national energy system that would make it more adaptable to new conditions and adoption of environmentally friendly green technologies.

The article substantiates the need for a systematic approach to reforming the existing taxation in accordance with the principles of sustainable development. We study the basic principles of changing the domestic tax system in the direction of its greening, and, in particular, the use of the environmental tax as a tool for managing the impact on the energy system. We describe new properties of energy systems arising from the introduction of digital technology in the production and consumption of electricity and its impact on the level of adaptability of the energy system. Increasing the environmental friendliness and adaptability of the national energy system will facilitate the transition of the energy sector and economy to the path of sustainable development.

The paper is devoted to the study of traditional energy projects as an instrument of political influence in the foreign affairs. In the contemporary international politics, the importance of natural and mineral resources is actualized. These resources are not only an item of international trade in the world economy, but also it is a bargaining chip in the political bargaining between states. Approaches to the study of political influence are considered, as well as the role of traditional energy in foreign affairs is revealed. Projects of the largest resource-extraction companies in Russia are highlighted. The authors show that these projects are used by the Russian leadership as an instrument of political influence in various macro-regions of the world. Resource-extraction companies are used as geopolitical instrument to consolidate position of Russia and its allies. At the same time, the problem of searching options for "restructuring" the model of extensive extraction and export of raw materials is especially important on the way of the economy transformation into a model of integrated development. There is the pyramid of enclaves of wealth according to the fact that the Russian economy is developing between the poles of economic fragmentation and political-administrative centralization.

The article examines the trends in the digital transformation of agriculture towards precision production of industry-specific products using precision agriculture technologies based on Earth remote sensing data. These technologies are shown to be evolving from digitalization of individual operations to digitalization of an interconnected system integrating all operations, including operations of related industries. The problems of effective implementation of digital technologies in the Russian Federation, as well as the ways of their solution using complex, integration technologies, are analyzed. The author's mathematical model is presented for forecasting the economic effect of the Earth remote sensing data utilization in precision agriculture technologies, which have become one of the main drivers of the rapid agriculture development throughout the world. Possible options are discussed of how this model can be utilized for the purpose of a scientifically grounded approach to the development of such technologies in a country.

The article considers the resource and socio-economic assessment of the state of hunting in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). Regional normative documents on the traditional sectors of the North were studied, the current state of hunting use in the republic was considered, modern problems of the industry and the development of measures for its sustainable development were identified. The main goal of the study is to study the issues of rational organization of production, reproduction of biological resources and ecology, the main priorities and trends of development are set. The novelty of the study consists in the development of a set of organizational and economic recommendations aimed at creating conditions for the transition to the sustainable development of traditional industries in the republic.

This study discusses the development of digitalization processes in the world and the Russian Federation, how they are manifested in the economy and, in particular, in industry. Weak performance of the Russian Federation in the digitalization field is noted with the main reasons indicated. The role of the "Digital Economy of the Russian Federation" Program in the development and implementation of digital technologies into domestic practice is shown. The development of these technologies is uneven in various national economy sectors, as well as their prospects in the field of material production, including industry. The ways of accelerated adaptation of industrial enterprises to digital reality are shown. These paths include, in particular, the development of dynamic capabilities of companies, transition to end-to-end industrial systems, adoption of the smart enterprise concept based on the SAP S/4HANA platform. The relevant positive experience of certain industrial companies is shown. In the context of digitalization, the sustainable development (SD) concept gains more priority with the continuous adaptation of economic systems to the changing requirements of the external environment. The dependence of the sustainable development level on the economy digitalization degree is shown. The main goals of sustainable development of economic entities are formulated, approaches are described for linking these goals with the corresponding goals at the level of the region, industry and the country as a whole. It is noted that the sustainable development of industrial enterprises during digitalization can be fully ensured only with effective support from the state based on the GR management concept.

According to researches of analysts decrease in production of ethyl alcohol is marked, annual decrease makes more than four percent a year, and this tendency worsens. In the current conditions of increased demand, it is necessary to develop mechanisms to stimulate alcohol producers, but as the basis is an organic product, and the raw material for production is agricultural products, so it is necessary to increase the production of grain, potatoes and other types of products suitable as raw materials. Against the background of increase of world prices for grain, ethanol and other goods, the problem of own production passes into the category of main factors directed to economic and in general to national security because of increase of need in disinfectants in connection with situation on coronovirus. Leaders in production are the USA and China, where production capacities are growing rapidly, in these countries biotechnological complexes with full cycle of non-waste production are created. Growth in demand for methanol, particularly in China, has taken place against the backdrop of further declines in production capacity in the USA, where production costs were on average 40% higher than in other countries. Methanol production capacity in the USA has been decreasing annually, resulting in increased imports.

The article analyses the most recent and advanced technologies of the present. The transition to the use of high technologies and their corresponding technology is the main link of the scientific and technical revolution (NTR). The High technology usually includes the most high-tech industries.

The aim of the study is to show that like "Big Science," high technology, being an international phenomenon, covers continents embodied by the world community of the Internet. Today, an innovative economy (knowledge economy, intellectual economy) is based on constant technological improvement, production and export of high-tech products with very high value added and technologies themselves. This shows the development of the world market for high-tech products, as evidenced by the high level and positive changes in high-tech production in the basic countries where the development of related industries is observed.

Today, countries face a real security threat when closing borders in voluntary isolation from production chains. Many states have not paid due attention to the search for a profitable niche, specializing in the global commercial space. The pandemic has transformed business and society: business models, technologies and markets have quickly changed the relationship between people. The world economy will fall by 3% in 2020, the worst since the Great Depression. The coronavirus outbreak triggered three macroeconomic processes: a global attack on demand, a global attack on supply, and an oil war that brought prices down to low levels in the coming months. These events will soon lead to the massive destruction of capital and, consequently, to structural unemployment. It is a fact that not all countries are able to produce everything they need for themselves. The solution may be to concentrate on producing individual products or providing services within countries that cannot be bought abroad.

Currently there are a number of problems in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) connected with energy supply to remote residential areas and industrial facilities. Taking into account the logistical difficulties of gasification of remote settlements existing in our region, the authors study modern gasification methods. The object of their study is artificially produced gas hydrates. In order to expand the use of hydrates for storage and transportation of natural gas it is important to take into consideration the features of gas hydrate formation process in high-pressure chambers when laboratory settings of gas hydrate synthesis are being realised. The analysis show that gas hydrates can be prospective and effective new source of energy. In addition, since the territory of Yakutia is located in the permafrost zone, there is a scientific, industrial and socio-economic expediency to study the features of gas hydrates. The following work illustrates the study of ways of natural gas artificial hydrate production, analysis of options of its use as a new energy resource in the conditions of the Far North and the process of its synthesis in Federal Research Center of the Devision of Institute of Oil and Gas Problems of Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Science.

The article considers the results of research of enterprises in the high-tech sector of the economy of the Krasnoyarsk territory in order to form a portfolio of high-tech innovative businesses for further identification of the potential of promising commodity markets, which will contribute to structural changes in the economic system of the region. The study identified the existing product range of these enterprises, as well as new and innovative products planned for production, and Identified the main markets for these products – both internal and external. The list of import-substituting products from both the existing and updated assortment is defined. The list of problems that companies currently face in terms of sales and promotion of products to international commodity markets, which relate to both the cost of transportation, certification, market research, etc., and the degree of trust in foreign contractors, is defined. The experience of companies receiving various types of state support, both regional and Federal – financial, consulting, property and other types. Also identified are the main problems that companies face when receiving such support, including issues of cost co-financing, the complexity of processing a large number of documents, multi-stage competitions for obtaining support, communication barriers, and other problems.

The central problem of long-term economic growth according to increase in gross added value of the region are changes in technologies and structure of economy of production systems of territories. Effective use of the available resources and their reorientation to create new types of products, competitive in national and global markets, is possible only in the conditions of technical process and innovative development. Technical and technology updating is considered by authors in terms of potential of the available resources accumulated gross added value, with their subsequent transformation into capital-labor ratio and labor productivity. At the same time, gross added value appears in two aspects: as investment potential of development and as financial result of activity of all economic system of the region. As an object of research Krasnoyarsk Region consisting of 6 macro districts and 61 territories is provided. An object of research were processes of technical and technology updating of production systems of territories with an exit to the metrics estimating quality and efficiency of transformation. Their indicative form allows to position territories and macro districts on use of the available resources. In general, the research has analytical character and directed to development of regional policy on increase in technological effectiveness of structure of the economy giving it big stability in the conditions of the changing markets.

Labor productivity is one of the main indicators of the effectiveness of the use of resources of territories, determining the level of its economic development. The purpose of the study is to analyze the existing potential for increasing labor productivity in the manufacturing sector of the territories of one of the macro-regions of the region. The comparison is made in terms of absolute and relative values of labor productivity and factors that determine the indicator: capital-labor ratio, average headcount, employed workers, gross added value. The relationship between labor productivity and capital productivity was confirmed, the power of influence was established in the context of the territories of the macro district. The results obtained make it possible to identify differences in the levels of labor productivity and its determining factors in general and manufacturing industries, to make a rating of territories by the values of indicators, to assess the potential for their growth and development. The results of the study are aimed at finding resources for the growth of labor productivity in the region's space while increasing the importance of the manufacturing sector of the economy as a carrier of scientific and technological progress.

When forming economic policy, the question always arises: is there a long-term growth trend in the economy now, or is there a short-term economic growth associated with fluctuations in the business cycle? There are several approaches to answering this question. The first is oriented on the determine the phases of the business cycles. The second approach is to study the long-term growth trend and cycles as deviations from this trend. In modern works, was proved the regularity between the nature of the cycle and the elasticity of substitution of the utility function of a representative agent. In other words, as the economy stabilizes, the risk appetite increases, and it determines the greater impact of external shocks. In times of crisis, when uncertainty increases, on the contrary, the propensity to risk decreases and the dynamics of the cycle becomes more coherent with the long-term development trend. This fact makes considered the infrastructure as a factor of business cycle stabilizer. So the infrastructure should not be considered in the context of a competitive market. Since it is reflecting two types of market failures: technological indivisibility and planned increasing returns on scale. Using the method of mathematical clustering based on data from 2000-2018, the article identifies regions of Russia with different characteristics of the relationship between industrial and transport complexes. Complementing the study with an assessment of the overall dynamics of economic growth, the author identifies key industries and effects that occur in regions of the North-Western Federal District.

Although there is a great number of discussions in the world arena concerning interconnection of changes in education and the strategy for the development of modern civilization, as well as documents acceded by the variety of UN Conferences in regard to environment and development, there haven't been any significant changes in the worldview and practice so far.

On the contrary, the acceleration of the expansion of the technosphere and thereto related degradation of biosphere life are in evidence. This implies that attempts to solve global problems of our time based solely on the understanding of objective laws of social development are unsuccessful. In our opinion, the development of measures to reform modern education should take into account the interaction of three factors: technogenic society, technosphere and transformed biosphere. The consequences of global change-over of life connected with the spontaneous formation of the techno-noosphere should also be realized. Such change requires new mechanisms for socialization of the younger generation, which are able to allow not only adapting to the changed environment, but also correcting mistakes in the social development as a whole. In this context it should be realized that traditional pedagogy is unable to get radically the things done. Therefore, mainstreaming of social pedagogy into the educational process is of great necessity. In our opinion, it is socialization based on biosphere mentality and mindsets expanding the scope of the ecological worldview that can take all the transformational processes in the society, nature and a human being into consideration and work properly. With a foundation of social pedagogy and biosphere mentality and mindsets it is possible to propose a set of measures aimed at humane correction of modern educational systems in order to increase their effectiveness in the fight for saving of biosphere life.

The present research featured the level of cross-border water pollution in a resource- type region. In spite of the fact that the cross-border water pollution abatement spans more than half a century of experience, its actions rarely go beyond administrative measures, which is why the problem remains as relevant as before. Nevertheless, all stakeholders are highly interested in solving the issue, which means that the existing measures have to be tested for performance. The issue requires new recommendations on the convergence of various highly effective institutional arrangements. The article presents a rationale for assessment and analysis of the composite indicators of measures aimed at solving the problem of cross-border water pollution. The authors believe that performance should not be confused with the actual solution of the problem, not to mention reaching the goal of sustainable development on a particular territory. The research delivered some practical recommendations concerning the matter of cross-border water pollution in a resource-type region. The recommendations go beyond the scope of administrative management and focus on inter-municipal cooperation and eco-compensation trade schemes.

This article touches on the problems of assessing the degree of readiness of industrial enterprises for digital transformation. Big data, robotics and material production can act as three interconnected elements that will facilitate the aggregation of digital and material components in every industrial sector, including the machine-building complex. Industry 4.0 provides tremendous opportunities for the world economy and Russia, including. This concept shapes the nature of future production. Instead of autonomous factories, Industry 4.0 will create interconnected networks of facilities, suppliers, partners, and customers. This will be facilitated by the creation of digital twins that form the conditions for the development of mechanisms for managing smart objects and global supply chains.

The purpose of our research is to study the state of digitalization in the tourism sector, the potential news and the impact that digitalization has on the tourism development. Digitalization in tourism makes the tourist business more flexible, adapted to modern conditions and competitive in a dynamic "digital world". Now it can be seen that the research object is digital technologies of travel companies as new business channels aimed at creating new consumer behaviors in order to improve the service quality and profit for tourist companies. The result of this research is to offer new digital opportunities for tourism businesses for example, the development models for digital platforms in Primorsky Krai. The main methods used in the research process are the analysis of publications of domestic and foreign sources on the digital economy problems of the, the comparative method, and content analysis.

The problem of assessing the innovative potential of the regions is the focus of domestic and foreign scientific research. This topic becomes especially relevant for the so-called resource-type regions, where the dependence of the economy on the industrial sector has traditionally been very high. Since there is no category "resource sector of the economy" in the Russian statistical register, data on the structure of gross value added of the region were used for its allocation. And according to the structure of value added 18 regions were included to the group of resource-type regions. A system of the indicators for the assessment of the innovation potential of the recourse-type regions is suggested in the paper. The integrated indicator over 2017 year has been calculated using the geometric mean and compared with the indicator over 2013 year. The results of the analysis let the authors divide the regions into three groups according to the value of integral indicator of assessing innovative potential and detect the most significant differences and gaps in each group.

This article addresses the problems of energy security at the level of Russian regions, which is a particularly urgent in modern economic conditions characterized by global digitalization processes. In this case, the problem arises the need to develop mathematical tools for planning and assessing energy security in conditions of high uncertainty and fluctuations of the studied parameters of the external environment.

The paper presents the mathematical justification for the use of wavelet analysis and the construction of spaces of scaling functions in order to obtain the theorem of multifunctional analysis of economic parameters and indicators of regional energy security, based on many intervals and determining the corresponding wavelet spaces.

The paper provides an overview of industrial tourism current aspects in the cities in the southern part of the Russian Far East. This area is considered to be the most industrialized in the region. The authors have analyzed the re-sources and trends of industrial tourism potential development and exemplified them by big business, scientific, and cultural center, the city of Vladivostok, and by the mono-city of Komsomolsk-on-Amur. The prospects and restraints of industrial tourism development in the cities of the territory are also defined. The article reveals the industrial tourism development strategy characteristics. The strategy supposes the outreach of consumer target groups, as well as activities coordination of regional authorities, responsible for tourism development, tourist information offices, travel companies, and industrial enterprises while creating and promoting industrial tourism product. The work deals with systemic analysis based on a marketing approach to designing industrial tourism products.

The article gives an attempt to form economic consciousness among agro-university students. The results of pedagogical activity are reflected here. The model of formation of economic consciousness in students with 2- 4 courses is proposed. They study according to the main professional educational program for preparing bachelors of 35.03.04 Agronomy. The goal of research is to determine the importance of the human factor in activating the role at the optimal level of the systematic development of economic consciousness among students of an agrarian university using the example of students and graduates of the Oktyomsky branch of the Yakut State Agrotechnological University. As a result of the formation of economic consciousness, students have a motivation and creative need for the implementation of planned economic projects. These projects were introduced into the agricultural production of agro-industrial complex of Yakutia. Thus, the project of Suzdalova A.A. on the cultivation of potatoes in the Arctic region in open ground was implemented. Graduates actively participate in competitive projects. So Ivanov D.A. organized the scientific circle "Dennatory life". He became the winner of many competitions at both the local and regional levels. And the graduate of Illarionov I.D. works as individual entrepreneur on the production of seed production of grain crops. At the same time he also took part in the forum "Graduate-2018: For a new village!" Thus, an attempt to create a model for the formation of economic consciousness was implemented in the Oktemsky branch of the Arctic SAU.

The North-Eastern part of Russia is a large territory with a harsh climate. Here temperature range from -65 C to +35 C. Soil is cryosolic and pale-yellow. Native people living on that territory cultivate crops, breed horses, reindeers, and livestock animals. More than 90% of agriculturally used areas is a forage land. The article describes topical issues of range lands use – useless lands, areas with difficult access, the anthropogenic effect on range lands fertility. The evaluation method is recommended for research. Practical value is caused by the approbation of the evaluation method using modern geoinformation technologies. Also, the article shows the mathematical and economical model of forage lands use based on the method. The article concludes that modern information technologies contribute to an increase in forage lands use effectiveness.

The Doctrine of Food Security of Russia determines the need for regions to ramp-up production. The ritual food of the nationalities living in the North is predominantly food of animal origin (up to 97% fat and up to 78% protein). Since senile industries are the main source and supplier of animal products in the Arctic, their development determines the food supply of the population not only in the Arctic zone, but also throughout Yakutia. The Arctic has significant natural resources, for this reason it is sometimes considered only from the perspective of obtaining economic benefits. There is another category of scientists who view it as an unspoiled and sensitive area, insisting on the need to limit industrial development in the region. Against the increasing of its geopolitical and economic importance, the underlying problem of the Arctic region development is being formed [1]. The article defines the role of Arctic agro-industrial complex senile industries in the food facility system and the economy of Yakutia. The purpose of the article is to assess the current state of the agro-industrial complex of the Arctic in Yakutia and, on its basis, to develop methodological approaches to address the problem. The relevance of the article is stemmed from the need to increase food self-production level of the region in accordance with the Doctrine of Food Security of Russia, from the position to preserve the agro-industrial complex senile industry of the Arctic in Yakutia and their development. The article novelty is to determine promising measures contributing to the development of the agro-industrial complex senile industry and to orient on increasing food self-production level.

The article justifies the need to subsidize reindeer husbandry of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). Statistical correlation and regression analysis of income and costs of reindeer husbandry was carried out, priorities were identified for areas that are more in need of state support, and financial indicators of areas without subsidies have been evaluated. The necessity for agricultural reform is highlighted, where measures aimed at reviving genuine cooperative forms and principles between economic entities should play an important role, since the formation of market relations calls for the development of cooperation, which historically and logically accompanies the formation of real monetary relations.

The article is devoted to the problem of modernization of higher education in the digital economy. The place and role of education in the process of introducing Industry 4.0 technologies into the activities of enterprises have been determined. The directions of modernization of the educational process aiming students at fluency in knowledge and tools of the digital economy for smart production are determined. The modeling of the processes of implementation of technologies "Industry 4.0" based on the products of educational production. The main attention ispaid to solving the problem of implementing the main stages of knowledge transfer and the integration of participants in this process.

The article presents the results of developing a methodology for rating the enterprises of the automotive industry. The tasks formulated in the Consolidated Strategy for the Development of the Manufacturing Industry require an increase in innovation activity and the development of the export potential of enterprises in the automotive industry. The formation of a monitoring system for this sector of the economy will contribute to the achievement of the planned indicators. A review of the rating methods used in practice has shown that most of them are based on the assessment of traditional areas, including the level of business activity, profitability, and financial condition of enterprises. With regard to high-tech enterprises the ratings cover a limited number of organizations, due to the specifics of the information used and the declarative nature of participation.

The methodology developed by the authors for rating enterprises in the automotive industry is based primarily on taking into account the innovative component of organizations' activities. For these purposes, a system of indicators based on information reflected in the financial statements of enterprises has been proposed, which increases the objectivity of the results of comparative analysis and allows it to be used for mass valuation of enterprises.

The rapid change in the oil and gas business environment associated with the complication of the oil extraction process has made relevant the search for new ways to interact with partners. The ecosystem in the oil and gas sector is characterized by active interaction with potential partners to find ways to solve non-standard tasks that ensure the best result for all participants. A key factor in ensuring effective interaction is digital technologies that focus on ensuring the interconnection of products, value chains and business models. The article substantiates the need for the introduction and use of digital technologies. Statistical data on smart oil and gas fields in Russia are presented, and strategic guidelines for the development of oil and gas companies in the field of digitalization are defined. A scenario forecast of the impact of digitalization on the oil and gas industry is presented. The conclusion is made about ensuring increased oil production due to digitalization, due to a higher design coefficient of oil recovery and hard-to-recover reserves. The key problems of creating an ecosystem for the use of innovations in the industry are identified. The importance of the introduction of digital technologies for the formation of ecosystems in the oil and gas industry was noted.

It is demonstrated that technology upgrade at the existing manufacturing facilities can provide a simultaneous growth in the indicators of material productivity, capital productivity ratio and labor efficiency only under certain conditions. One can fulfill these conditions using the investment and innovative economic analysis of the production system activity. The authors formulate its nature and suggest a mechanism of its application for forming a strategy of innovative and technology development for a manufacturing facility. Note that any new technology for product release, introduced into the production process, should provide for the reaching the set target values of material and capital productivity, which should be taken into account during the development of the business-plan of the investment project on the introduction of technological innovations. A correspondingly developed procedure for estimating whether it is possible to reach the set target values is based on the calculation of a necessary volume of investments and reaching the financial sustainability by the companies. To compare possible options of the technological production upgrade and select the best one, the authors suggest a mechanism of "building" the values for the components of future company expenses and the calculation of the expected profit for each technological development scenario. This will also allow maximizing a future cost of the companies.

To further increase the contribution of extractive industries to the gross regional product of the Northern and Arctic regions, it is necessary to increase their efficiency through technological modernization and automation of production processes. It is shown that the structural investment and innovative industrial policy in the North should be aimed at supporting the introduction of technological innovations by enterprises, primarily in the field of more complete and integrated use of natural resources. To assess the economic feasibility of technological modernization of industrial enterprises, it is proposed to use the methodology of investment and innovation analysis, which includes three stages of management decision-making. At the first stage, preliminary goals are set to achieve the necessary level of innovative and technological development of enterprises. At the second stage, a decision is made either to further improve the existing production technology or to switch to a new technology. At the third stage, various possible options for technological renewal of production are considered and the best option is determined with its subsequent implementation in the form of an investment project.

At the present stage of development of the world and Russian economies, research on problems in the field of human capital development in its close relationship with economic growth is due to the transition to digital technologies and qualitative changes in the labor market. In Russia, these processes are complicated by persistent imbalances in regional development. The economic lag of regions, which is also caused by the low level of development and quality of human capital, leads to the formation of institutional traps: low incomes, reduced returns on education and, as a result, lack of motivation to invest in human capital lead to increased regional inequality and create a vicious circle. The authors justify the need to develop a regional policy in the "poor" and "middle" regions aimed at developing and improving the quality of human capital by increasing public investment in education. In addition, the article highlights barriers to quantitative growth, qualitative development and effective use of human capital in Russian regions.

The article is devoted to the construction of tools to support decision-making for the analysis and formation of conditions for self-development of administrative-territorial entities, which contributes to the creation of a competitive environment in them. The Toolkit is based on the use of methods of economic and mathematical modeling in the selection of methods of inter-budgetary regulation in the aspect of activation of functions: stimulating and leveling. The incentive function is aimed at increasing the motivation of the authorities in building up the territorial tax potential and is implemented through the distribution of tax revenues among the budgets vertically according to established standards. The leveling function is performed through financial assistance methods. In order to support decision-making regarding the application of forms of financial policy, the article offers a mathematical model for analyzing territorial units from the point of view of identifying the potential for self-development of territories. The model is based on the application of nonlinear dynamics methods that allow us to get an idea of the qualitative picture of the trend in the dynamics of indicators of development of the territorial system. The presence of an attractor in the dynamics of indicators allows us to judge the potential ability of the territory to self-organization and determines the feasibility of using the stimulating function of inter-budgetary regulation as a prerequisite for the sustainable development of the socio-economic system at the expense of its own revenue sources.

Coal mining areas such as Kuzbass create a land resources heavy anthropogenic loading. In the region many territory occupied with mining and mine waste, resulting in the land degradation and disturbed land are. Dusting and Assuring lead to land cover degradation in the surrounding areas to mining. As a result, the socio-economic value of these territories is reduced in terms of cadastral value of land, recreational and agricultural using. In modern land management practices, this factor has not yet been underrecognized, and the regional economics has loss of profit. There is no methodological tool to identify such negative impact on the environment, special studies are presented by a few works of soil investigators and biologists. The authors of the article propose to use insights and interpretation of multispectural space surveys of disturbed territories as tools for monitoring and assessing the negative impact of the territories disturbed with mining to the surrounding areas. In the article the ecological-economic results of the space images processing and the extent of the negative impact on vegetation and soil of spaces around disturbed areas not formally classified as disturbed, are presented. The work is performed a case study of Kuzbass.

The study describes the approach to drawing up and evaluating project implementation plans in the presence of associated risks. Two alternative approaches to planning are considered and evaluated: network modeling and integer programming. It is assumed that the project risk is associated with a positive or negative event or a combination of them that may occur with some probability during the implementation of the project. Different scenarios are developed depending on the conditions under which risk events occur. The risk value for each scenario is estimated based on the expected values of the project's financial characteristics. Scenario tests are performed for each approach. The described procedure is checked using an illustrative example of an infrastructure project which consists in laying a section of a gas pipeline on the seabed. A software package for project planning was developed taking into account the associated risks based on a scenario approach using the Python.

Recent studies show that intellectual resources, such as highly qualified workforce, well-functioning business processes within the organization and strategic relationships with all stakeholders together give a synergistic effect and are key factors in creating a sustainable competitive advantage. This notion is true for both high-tech companies that are focused on knowledge management and mainly work in the service sector, as well as for traditional industrial-type firms that are focused on creating products using value chain models. The historical growth of intellectual capital is traditionally associated with the trend of increasing market capitalization of firms, which is most clearly observed for companies that use knowledge resources as core competitive advantage. However, in practice the consequences of investing in intellectual capital intensive firms are often not always clear, in particular, there is unambiguous relationship between intellectual capital and the ability of companies to perform sustainably.

In this study proposes models to investigate the impact of the components of intellectual capital on investment attractiveness and therefore potential positive investment decisions for companies using financial indicators such as revenue and market share. The results show a moderate positive relationship between revenue, market share, reflecting the investment attractiveness of the company and qualitative indicators of static and dynamic intellectual capital.

Unmanned vehicle technology is the innovation that qualitatively transform the economic and social landscape of the modern state based on the concept of smart mobility. The widespread introduction of highly automated vehicles leads to additional risks that affect the level of quality and safety of functioning of many areas of public life. The increasing autonomy of unmanned vehicles and other vehicles causes a significant load on the infrastructure of communication networks of various types and creates new threats to the information security of cyberphysical systems. In this regard, the article addresses the issues of assessing and ensuring the security of information interaction between connected and autonomous cars with road infrastructure. The authors determine the requirements for the specification of the test site for testing the information security of unmanned vehicles taking into account the sources of threats and zones of vulnerability. The approaches to the design of landfills for testing unmanned vehicles existing in the world are described. Based on this, a possible scheme of the process of development and implementation of the test site project for testing the security of information interaction of the V2X technology platform in the Russian Federation is proposed. Recommendations are formulated on improving the regulatory system and certification of created systems and technologies for the information interaction of highly automated vehicles with road infrastructure. Recommendations are formulated on improving the regulatory system and certification of created systems and technologies for the information interaction of highly automated vehicles with road infrastructure.

In the article the innovative potential of the region is interpreted on the basis of the resource approach. The authors generalized the approaches to its assessment and concluded that there is no universal method for measuring the innovative potential of the region, because the components of the innovative potential and the sets of indicators that determine them are not well-established. The assessment mechanism also varies. The objective of the article is to assess the innovative potential of the border regions of Russia, which together form a fairly high contribution to the economic indicators of the country's development. At the same time, as the calculation showed, the border regions play a predominant role in the formation of an imbalance in regional development. Therefore, the assessment and improvement of the innovative potential of border regions plays an important role in leveling the country's economic development. The authors proposed a methodology for assessing the innovative potential of the border region, in which, in contrast to the existing approaches, the contact potential of the region is highlighted. Contact potential allows taking into account the level of innovative development and urbanization of neighboring regions. As a result of approbation of the author's methodology, five Russian border regions (which is 10 percent of their total number) have been identified with high innovation potential. Almost 60 percent of border regions have low innovation potential. The conclusions made in the article can be used to clarify and formulate strategic plans for regional development.

In the context of economic development, considerable attention is paid to environmental safety. Ensuring environmental safety is one of the most important components of any practical activity, including at transport enterprises. In the Russian Federation, as in most countries with developing economies, environmental protection belongs to the administrative methods of regulation. The main function of the country is environmental supervision. The main task in ensuring environmental safety requirements is the formation and constant development of the environmental protection system at transport enterprises. The article presents the main directions of the impact of transport on the environment and considers the causes of its pollution. The necessity of a systematic approach in solving management tasks for environmental protection and increasing the economic efficiency of transport companies has been substantiated. It is proposed to consider the systemic relationship of production processes, elements, their components, and environmental components in the formation of management decisions at transport enterprises. The authors pay special attention to measures for the legal protection of the environment in the activities of transport companies, the reduction and prevention of negative environmental management.

In the general security system of the Russian Federation, transport security is given a special place. Improving the legal framework, the emergence of vocational training and certification of persons providing it, equipping the facilities of the transport infrastructure with engineering and technical equipment contributes to the development of the transport system. The article discusses the principles of ensuring transport safety. The concept of non-transport effect is defined and types of transport safety are presented taking into account the nontransport effect. Measures are proposed to ensure transport safety on various modes of transport, taking into account the non-transport effect. Threats to transport security in the Russian Federation by mode of transport: rail, road, air and sea are examined. The indicators of transport safety in the Russian Federation in the period January-September 2019 are reviewed and analyzed. The tasks of ensuring transport safety are presented taking into account the extra-transport effect at transport enterprises.

The article is devoted to assessing the food security of the Russian Federation in the context of the implementation of the import substitution policy. With this objective in view, the authors consider the system of indicators of food security assessment: level of food self-sufficiency, degree of satisfaction of population's physiological needs for principal food products, level of economic affordability of food. As provided by the suggested method of assessment, the study determines the criteria by every index allowing the authors to evaluate the level of food security (using point system) as optimal, permissible or low one. Economic affordability of food analysis assumes that several indicators are to be considered in conformity with the following criteria: proportion of population with incomes below living wage; ratio of food expenses in the final consumption expenses structure of households; degree of inequality of population distribution according to income level. The level of economic affordability of food determines the possibility of acquiring food, depending on the size of incomes and price levels. As a result of the calculations, it was found that the integrated assessment of food security in Russia amounted to 8 points, which corresponds to permissible level. At the same time there are explicit threats to food security: rather high level of income inequality in the region, growing index of consumer price for food products. The obtained results are necessary while planning and elaborating the measures of the economic policy to ensure, maintain and increase the level of food security.

In recent years, Russia has been going through a boom of church building. In 2009, the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) had 29,263 parishes and by 2019 this figure had risen to 38,649. In the last decade, the growth in the number of Orthodox religious organizations and places of worship has by far exceeded that of other assets of social infrastructure. While the number of churches is growing, however, the number of schools, kindergartens and hospitals is steadily falling. Unlike other elements of social infrastructure, church building is funded not from the state budget but is financed by donors, sponsors and by the ROC itself, with some of the funds coming from payments for religious rites (baptism, weddings etc).

This article analyzes the historical significance and socio-economic impact of church building by focusing on the case of the Cathedral of Saint Martyr Catherine in Ekaterinburg. The right choice of the construction site for the cathedral - the choice that would be agreeable to the metropolitan bishop, municipal government, businesses and sponsors, local community and opinion leaders - will ensure not only that the project will be duly completed but also underline the fact that local communities are able to establish consensus and recognize each other's interests in local decision-making. One of the possible locations considered for building St.Catherine's Cathedral in Ekaterinburg was a former industrial site in the centre of the city. Eventually, it was chosen as the most suitable place for this large-scale project. Redevelopment of an underused or abandoned industrial site, resulting in the improvement in the quality of urban environment, can be seen as an effective instrument of project realization, contributing to the building's social and economic significance.

Recently, it has become obvious that local recreational resources should be utilized. This is connected to the spread of coronavirus which led to the development of local and regional tourism as the only available opportunity to fulfill the recreational needs of people. Tourism companies are forced to search for new types and forms of recreation. Archaeological tourism is one of the types that have been growing in popularity in recent times. In Orenburg oblast, a model steppe region and a birthplace of many ethnicities, both nomadic and settled, archaeologists found over a thousand objects of material archaeological heritage. The archaeological tourism in the region, however, is not widely spread due to, among other things, the insufficient promotion and inefficient positioning of attractions promising for this kind of tourism.

This article deals with the identification and classification of archaeological tourism resources in the steppe zone that led to the mapping of the most promising tourist attractions and the compilation of recommendations on the development of archaeological tourism in the region. The archaeological sites that are the most attractive for archaeological tourism include the Kar-galy mines and the Alandskoye settlement site that belongs to the archaeological group of set-tlements known as the Country of Towns.

One of the recommendations concerning the development strategy for archaeological tourism suggested by the authors is to take into account the desires of the potential tourists from the neighboring Republic of Kazakhstan.

The research objective is to study the possibility and prospects of applying qualimetry techniques to estimate the economic effect of using Earth remote sensing data in agriculture when digitally transforming the sector, considering both quantitative and qualitative efficiency indicators of economic, technical, environmental, and political and social nature and the impact of the environment on them. Based on the systematic analysis of the state and development trends of both the Earth remote sensing technology infrastructure and agriculture itself, a theoretical rationale for applying qualimetry techniques to estimate the economic effect of using these technologies in agriculture with a mathematical description of individual and integral estimates of their efficiency has been formalized. Qualimetry techniques have been compared with the efficiency estimating method based on the system of production functions. The scientific novelty of the study is the development of a scientifically grounded approach based on a formalized mathematical description to choosing a base object for estimating the economic effect of using ERS data in agriculture as part of a promising digital precision farming platform based on Earth remote sensing technologies and obtained, in turn, as a result of mathematical simulation of creating the country's economy digital management platforms.

Management of a company's business processes is a key management task of modern organizations, which can cover not only the main, but also providing and servicing areas in its internal environment, including human resource management. The article is devoted to the design of the HR business process "Corporate training" for a rapidly developing regional company in the field of installation and rigging services, caused by the need to provide projects implemented by the company with highly qualified specialists involved in them. The analysis of the real practice of training in the company revealed the need to introduce corporate training as a business process that solves this problem. Based on the use of a standard model, the authors present a model of the HR business process "corporate training", developed for the needs of the organization under study, which is the practical significance of the study. The results obtained are universal and can be applied in the activities of organizations of any form of ownership, sphere of activity and size.

Internationalization of the world trade and severe competition for the position in global value chains stimulate countries all over the world to create special economic zones (SEZ). For the Russian Far East, the SEZ are the major element of fostering industrial growth and overall economic development. There are Free Port of Vladivostok, Territories of Advanced Economic Development and other development programs created to ensure inflow of investors into the economy of the macro-region. The state offers both tax deductions for up to 10 years and direct budget expenditures for creating infrastructure for the future project sites. Natural consequence of that is the problem of very different financial efficiency of potential projects and dire need to sort or filter those projects that will, probably, be mutually beneficial both for investor and for the state budget from those that, again probably, will benefit only one party or even fail for both. We started from applying standard mechanisms of project evaluation, based on sum of the discounted cash flows comparing to discounted investments, and then enrich it with instruments of working with probable events to make it more flexible. Then based on real-options approach, we show an anticipated cash-flow as the representation of project's efficiency and create strategy matrix for private and public parties of the cooperation.

The ports of the Primorye-1 and Primorye-2 corridors in Primorsky Territory are the most important channels for foreign trade and transit of the Far East with the countries of the Asia-Pacific region. The interest of the leading economies of the Asia-Pacific region, in particular China, in the use of the corridor infrastructure determines their transit potential. As elements of the international commodity distribution chain, ports' infrastructure as well as their management system require modernization. Today, the world's leading logistics operators strive to implement digital technologies in management and automate processes in order to increase their competitiveness. This article outlines the prospects for the implementation of digital technologies in the management of the southern ports of Primorsky Territory. Authors provide a justification for such modernization in terms of increasing the competitiveness of the region's sea transport. The concept of digitalization of the ports located in the south of Primorsky Territory and the establishment of a unified regional management system can become one of the ways to develop sea logistics in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.

The article is devoted to the dynamics of investment processes in worldwide housing investment markets, and issues of statistical data comparability in assessment of housing investments values. The authors conduct a research on relationship and interaction of housing investments and countries' socio-economic development parameters. The influence of income indicators on the volume of housing investments is shown. The role of housing investments as a major factor of countries' socio-economic development is justified; connection between housing investment and housing security, as well as housing investment and the human development index, which is a comprehensive indicator of the level of national economies' development is revealed.

In this work the technique of improvement of transport and technological vehicles maintenance is presented. A high-quality organization of technical service is impossible without determining the characteristics of the intensity of requests for a certain type of repair work. The failure flow as a set of successive failures of parts and assembly units is considered as a stationary Poisson process. The check of the stationarity of the failure flow was carried out using the Pearson criterion. The presented technique for researching the failure flow can be extended to any structural elements of technological machines. The results of calculations using this technique can be used, for example, to organize a rational supply of spare parts in order to reduce downtime and material losses during the technical operation of equipment.

The paper discusses the problem of improving the mechanisms for managing the development of electricity and heat supply systems in regions with the aim of increasing the efficiency of energy resources use in the context of liberalization of economic relations in the energy sector. On the basis of the considered methods and the compiled system of management efficiency criteria, the structural and functional decomposition of the energy complex development management system at the territorial level was carried out. The mismatch of the power system control system was revealed, caused by the complication of the control system and the composition of the decision-makers. Improved models for managing the development of electricity and heat supply systems in the country's regions are proposed, allowing to take into account modern trends in the expansion of the use of market mechanisms for managing territorial energy and to ensure a balance of interests of management entities at various organizational levels. For their implementation, organizational mechanisms have been developed that describe the interaction of territorial government bodies and territorial generating companies in the implementation of investment programs. The proposed mechanisms for managing territorial energy allow in market conditions to fully use the production potential and incentives for the development of territorial generating companies, which creates conditions for reducing management costs and implementing the goals of state energy policy.

Currently remote and digital services are significantly expanding, replacing entire departments of industrial enterprises. In the near future, it is possible that fabless-companies will conduct large-scale development, but carry out only intellectual research and development tasks, carrying out organizational and entrepreneurial activities.

This paper discusses the methods and foundations of a prospective organization, which can achieve an increase in profits using automated manufacturing of the entire production, marketing and logistic functions by cross-industry third-party interconnected companies. Resulting methods and algorithms are applicable primarily to such industries as the production of electronic devices, modules and devices, electrical engineering, instrumentation and mechanical engineering in general.

The algorithm of such digital factory is described.

The method of multi-criteria assessment of economic development based on an econometric model with the identification of production, market and institutional factors in relation to the parameters of economic growth and development risks is developed. The methodology is applied to the study of actual data on the economic development of post-Soviet Russia, which allowed us to obtain objective assessments of the activities of individual governments on a large set of criteria: oil-dependent, oil-dependent and diversifying, progressive, regressive and passive, conservative and destructive, managed and unmanaged development, etc.both in terms of growth and development risks, as well as individual development factors. The article describes the parameters of economic development during periods of shock therapy, radical reforms, post-devaluation recovery, building a "vertical of power" and "nationalization of the elite". It is concluded that the last periods only preserved the institutionally degraded society, but did not ensure its development. The period 2004-2008 is the only one when a positive purposeful impact of the government on development risk was revealed, namely, it was organized to reduce the fluctuation of economic growth during the period of rising oil prices. There were no positive targeted effects of governments on economic growth.

In order to identify the features of economic development and the historical fate of new industrial countries (NIC), an econometric analysis of their strategies and development dynamics since 1950 was carried out based on the parameters of real GDP growth rates and their standard deviation. 6 types of development were identified. The dynamics of development for 8 economic cycles and paired correlations between countries are estimated. 4 waves of growth rates and 5 waves of MSD were revealed. It is hypothesized that the correlation of growth rates shows the similarity of countries in their use of opportunities, and the correlation of MSD shows that of their responses to threats. Connection graphs are constructed and 3 clusters of countries with similar historical destinies are obtained as a result of the analysis. It is recorded that there are 3 groups of 11 countries with a similar development strategy. The other 10 have no development analogues. Determined: China applies import substitution and export strategies, it can become the leader of the NIC and compete with the global dominance of the OECD countries; the post-industrial development of the NIC cannot be based on a liberal, import-substituting or export strategy. As an alternative, a strategy for improving the living standards is proposed.

The article considers the impact of digitalization on the innovative processes in the economic agrarian sector. Today a key trend of agricultural development is digitalization. It will help increase the volume of agricultural production and the profitability of the agroindustrial complex industries. In the developed countries, digitalization has a positive effect creating new management principles and rules for the innovative activity conduct. In Russia the development of digital economics and the introduction of innovations into the agroindustrial complex is limited by depleted technical facilities, financial pressure and staff qualification. In the framework of the research the authors have identified that the digital technology introduction will increase labor efficiency, product quality, decrease inflation and unemployment providing for a stable economic growth. However, most technologies are accessible only for large and medium business. The authors suggest forming IT platforms in the agrarian sector of the country's macroregions with the state&private interaction in part of innovation introduction. Understanding the importance of digital technology introduction into the economic agrarian sector as a method of increasing the efficiency of agricultural production, the state builds a general strategy of breakthrough innovation introduction. Consequently, digital technologies will accelerate the integration of various economic areas transforming the innovative processes into an essential trend of economic development.

The article examines the ecological security aspect of regional management system. Central and regional authorities in Russian Federation and every other country become more and more aware of the necessity to prevent or reduce ecological threats in order to provide people a higher standard of living. Some guaranteed level of ecological security should be one of the primary purposes of regional management. For this reason, it is required to identify and assess major threats to ecological security of the territory. Since Russian legislature only makes the first steps in regulating this issue we reviewed the existing methodologies and chose the ones that allow to make calculations and compare the results to the threshold values. Therefore, we applied an integrated methodology combining the two approaches (indicative and comparative one suggested by Tatarkin and the other – by S. Mityakov, E. Mityakov, and N. Romanova) that allow adequate comparison. For Primorsky Krai positive and negative trends were identified and the necessary actions recommended.

The article examines the modern employee remuneration system of organizations in the sphere of housing and communal services in the Russian Federation. By conducting an empirical study, it is shown that the existing system of remuneration has a number of shortcomings that negatively affect labor productivity and the quality of the provision of housing and communal services. To improve the remuneration system, according to the authors, flexible forms of remuneration have a high potential for implementation, which should motivate employees to increase the quality and timeliness of the provision of housing and communal services. It is important to integrate a flexible remuneration system based on the performance indicators of employees with digital technologies, which should provide transparency and fairness in the process of determining the level of remuneration and payroll.

Digitalization of the economy requires new specialists for data-based management called Chief Data Officers (CDOs). It is noted that digitalization is no longer the prerogative of a single IT industry. The digital transformation of the construction industry introduces general processes of digitalization, but it has its own peculiarities. The technology of building information modeling (BIM) is being implemented by construction sector companies. The specialist who leads the implementation of information modeling technologies in the organization is a BIM manager. A BIM manager, as well as CDO, must have competencies in the field of IT, management, and data applications. Analysis of the functions and competencies of a BIM manager allows us to conclude that he can become a CDO for managing the organization's production activities based on BIM data.

The metrological support system for special equipment and special objects considered in the paper is modeled by a three-level hierarchical system. The metrological support system is considered as park of measuring equipment: high-precision instruments installed, working standards and working measuring instruments in a hierarchical sequence. The statement and solution of the problem of program - target planning for the development of the measuring equipment park is given. The goal of the development of the park is to provide the required number of verifications with working measuring instruments. The verified devices are measuring devices installed at special techniques and special objects. As the control actions on the park, the procurement of high-precision installations, working standards and working measuring instruments is strictly used in a certain proportion, determined in accordance with the hierarchy of the system

The mathematical model of the relationship between hierarchies is proposed. The model is based on the equation of the temporal balance of the park's potential power and the required amount of time for verification, taking into account the frequency of verifications. In the general case, in a hierarchical model, correspondences between levels can be of the type: one to one, one to several and several to one. This circumstance leads to the necessity of solving NP – complete problem of discrete optimization. The article gives an algorithm for setting this NP – complete problem for different cases of violation of the uniqueness of correspondence between elements of different levels. The effective algorithm for estimating the dimension of this problem has been developed. Assessment of the dimension of the problem allows you to choose the appropriate algorithm for solving the discrete optimization problem (branch and bound method, genetic algorithm, ant algorithm, exhaustive search method). The results of mathematical modeling are presented.

This article focuses on the interaction of a major integration association of the European Union and the Russian Federation. The article analyzes the existing forms of cooperation, primarily in the framework of the Northern Dimension Partnership in the field of transport and logistics. The charter document of the Memorandum of Understanding 2009 is considered in more detail. First of all, attention is focused on the compliance of the established international legal norms in the Memorandum with the practical actions undertaken by the participants of the Partnership. The current situation regarding relations between the European Union and the Russian Federation is analyzed through the prism of the political tendencies of our time. The article emphasizes the importance of the research, especially in the field of transport and logistics, as transport is a strategic arsenal of any state. The future economy of the country depends on the development of transport relations with partners. At the beginning of the article, an important issue is studied – cooperation, as a form of interaction between the subjects of international public law. The specificity of cooperation is noted, which consists in the fact that as a form of interaction, it is fixed in several international legal acts and is considered as a generally accepted principle of public international law, and, accordingly, as jus cogens norms. The article also presents an excursion into the history of the origin and further development of relations on the issue of transport and logistics between the European Union and the Russian Federation. The purpose of the research is to identify specific prospects for the future interaction of the Partnership participants, and also, on the basis of the existing information, to suggest areas in which there is need to work with great effort.

The purpose of the paper is to offer a method of quantitative estimation of the industrial enterprises digital potential and qualitative analysis of its components as the factor of development of industrial structure. Introduction of the enterprise digital potential concept and development of a method to quantify its components will allow to carry out the analysis and to reveal ways of improvement of interrelations between structural divisions, to increase flexibility and adaptability of industrial structure. For this purpose, the existing concepts of digital potential have been considered, the author's definition has been offered, the main components of digital potential have been singled out, the single indicators of evaluation of the «Personnel resources» component have been defined and the distance method for calculation of the integral indicator of the «Personnel resources» as one of the components of the digital potential has been chosen. The authors also showed the possibility of using cognitive models for qualitative analysis of the components of digital potential and their impact on the level of digitalization of the enterprise. For this purpose, the main factors influencing the development of digital potential, the structure and strength of relationships were identified, and a cognitive model was developed. Cognitive model of the digitalization of the industrial enterprise has shown the strength of the impact of factors related to human resources on the overall digital level of the enterprise. Theoretical and practical significance of the obtained result lies in the formation of methodical apparatus to assess the readiness of personnel for digital transformation of industrial enterprise, providing the development of production structure.

Relevance of this study derives from the fact that state-owned companies need new approaches to improving performance of their management systems and maintaining the appropriate balance between external and internal environments. To a greater extent than their counterparts from the private sector, such companies are keen to choose and rationalize specific forms of management control which enable them to retain financial stability and competitive edge in the global market, and to create value through the realization of additional competitive advantages by proactively affecting value factors.

The intent of this work is to develop a framework and to validate kinesthetic controlling methodology for state-owned aircraft construction companies that would enable purpose-oriented management actions on a company's competitive position in the global market. The information contained in this work will be of practical value for both top management and executives at different levels across organization structures of production companies and other entities, both in aerospace and other sectors.

As a result of the research conducted, the function-and-value component of kinesthetic controlling model was defined. The model is based on Value Management Concept which includes profit-based and comparative approaches to business value assessment, highlighting controlling indicators at operational and strategic levels, which refer to competence areas of responsibility of different management subjects, considering the possibility and admissibility of reacting to the revealed deviations from critical values and coordination of management actions as they affect strategic priorities of business development in a sustainable way.

With the help of the rating tool, transport companies will be able to improve their performance, solve strategic tasks, and conduct a comparative analysis of all divisions. The article describes the goals of conducting a comparative assessment of the structural divisions of a large transport company, calculating their place in the rating, and the main methodological provisions of the calculation. Rating evaluation of the performance of the transport holding company "Russian Railways" is carried out for the Railways and structural divisions of the company. The rating of Railways is proposed to be determined based on the performance coefficient of the target metric, taking into account the significance of each indicator, without assigning points, using the best practices approach. Three methods of selecting performance indicators for conducting a comparative assessment of the performance of structural divisions are proposed. The selected indicators are normalized and form an additive model for evaluating performance based on the significance of the criteria. The rating assessment of Railways based on an additive model showed transparency of calculation, direct influence of weight coefficients, high "sensitivity" to changes in performance parameters and the ability to model rating values by changing the performance indicators of structural divisions of the transport holding.

Polycentric matters are becoming popular under spatial agenda and regional policies across developing and advanced countries. Having put the polycentricity concept into normative plans, key shareholders found out fuzzy results in empirical body of experiences which could be explained by territorial heterogeneity, chosen measures, and techniques. The article aims on testing hypothesis whether a polycentric pattern in terms of investments in fixed assets has a positive effect on economic development in municipalities. The bivariate Moran's indexes were calculated using data on investments in fixed assets and the volume of shipped own production goods, performed works, and services from 2015-2019. Our results showed that investments in fixed assets associated with economic development in different ways due to the presence of assisted regions in examined case study and scattering of investments in fixed assets due to regional disparities. These results might be taken into account while elaboration of new spatial strategies within regions in terms of resource distributions.

The article contains the author's methodological toolkit for managing the financial stability of an industrial enterprise, as well as the results of its use. To manage the financial stability of an industrial enterprise, it is proposed to form signal indicators that allow evaluating the work of circulating capital management. For this, it is proposed to make evaluation according to the following groups of signal indicators: indicators characterizing the level of receivables; indicators characterizing the level of external obligations of the enterprise. The result of the author's algorithm use is the determination of the integral indicator of financial stability, the value of which includes three components: structure indicators, dynamics indicators and indicators of the intensity of the obligations use. The specific weight of each group was determined by expert judgment and is associated with the recommended values of signal indicators. The results of the calculations show that the use of signal indicators in the management of the financial stability of an industrial enterprise makes it possible to timely identify and eliminate problems in the regulation of circulating capital and to increase the financial potential.

The main problem of the functioning of the organizational, technical and technological structures of the enterprise is the insufficient formalization of business processes, which, in turn, is based on the uncertainty of business process tasks influence level to the whole process, which complicates its further effective development. In this article, the structuring of such elements is based on the approach of forming the system of design and technological preparation of production (DTPP) at the enterprise, and the business processes are the subject of the study. The objective of the study is to improve the DTPP control system within the framework of research and development (R&D) with further deeper formalization for the implementation of an automated DTPP control system. To achieve this objective, tasks for assessing the business processes of DTPP control have been identified, as well as for analyzing the effectiveness of the business processes tasks for DTPP control.

To achieve the target goals and solve the tasks, the research plan includes such stages as the formation of a schedule of research, identifying the necessary resources and their sources, identifying the direct executors and bringing the plans to them, fixing the results of planning in the form of a project. The study is based on the use of expert assessment method. To obtain the correct result from two groups of expert assessments, individual assessments have been used, which are based on the use of the individual experts' opinions who are specialists of the enterprise, and functionally independent from each other. The implementation of the individual assessments formation is based on an individual expert survey in the form of an interview with an analysis of expert assessments.

The priority of the balanced socio-economic development of single-industry towns for the economic policy of the Russian Federation explains the active usage by the Government of the Russian Federation of mechanisms for adapting single-industry towns to changes in the external environment, involving large-scale and systematic federal resource support, i.e. government programs. However, often the planned values of indicators of state programs for the socio-economic development of single-industry towns are formally formulated and do not allow judging the degree of achievement of their goals. The listed circumstances determine the need for scientific research, within the framework of which a retrospective analysis of the efficiency of state programs to support their development was carried out using the example of single-industry towns of the Chelyabinsk oblast of the Russian Federation.

The article presents the results of the study of target indicators system that allow to carry out a retrospective analysis of the efficiency of state programs to support the development of single-industry towns, and the results of testing the identified criteria for the program "Integrated development of single-industry towns in the Chelyabinsk oblast".

The emergency conditions caused by the coronavirus pandemic in 2020 made the national governments the last resort, which was forced to bear all the financial costs associated with the lockdown in the national economy, with social support of the population and fiscal and monetary help to private firms which business was blocked. Lockdowns, publicly declared in countries around the world to stop the exponential growth of coronavirus-infected patients, have brought unprecedented losses in both human lives and national welfare. As a result, the coronavirus pandemic left two fundamental priorities for the state: (1) to stabilize the epidemiological situation in the country and (2) to reopen the economy in time after the lockdown. On this basis, the term "epinomics" was introduced, which assumes the primary public task to ensure the life and health of citizens, and only under this condition allows the possibility of economic recovery. In this case, the expansion of the practice of implementing public infrastructure projects on the basis of public-private partnership realizes the essence of the state's epinomic strategy. Moreover, in the post-COVID-19 future, infrastructure projects can become an effective form of implementation of the UN "human-first" model, since they allow solving the immediate problems of ordinary citizens mostly affected in 2020. It is about the growth of employment, the provision of workforce wages, development of socially significant infrastructure, which contribution to the economic revival of countries can hardly be overestimated. At the same time, the government through public-private partnership gets the opportunity to directly broadcast to society the results of the effectiveness of its epinomic strategy in stabilizing the epidemiological situation and reopening the economy after the lockdown.

COVID-19 triggered several crises, one of which arose in the social sphere. Societal crisis manifested itself in the growing distrust of ordinary citizens to the state, in the negative consequences for them of the forced restriction of social communication due to the lockdown, and in the understanding of the discrepancy between their own individual values and the generally accepted norms of behavior in society, specified by formal institutions. These social problems have only increased the quality of uncertainty of the post-coronavirus pandemic reality. A rise in uncertainty will lead to increased precautionary savings among households and delayed business investment. Against this background, social polarization in society, growing unemployment, poverty and impoverishment of citizens have further increased their negative attitude towards the state and society as a whole. As a result, overcoming the consequences of the societal crisis in national communities has become almost the highest priority along with the problem of epinomics. Its solution lies in the gradual restoration of partnerships between society, firms, citizens and the state. The most important place is occupied by public-private partnership in any public sector, including socially significant infrastructure projects. However, significant progress in this area is unambiguously due to serious adjustments that the state must make to formal institutions that ensure an equal partnership between the state and the business. At the same time, the specification by formal institutions of expert functions of the state and increasing the importance of private investment in the project will allow using the partnership between the state and private business as a platform for testing various forms of inclusiveness of public and private participation, aimed at restoring public confidence and societal integrity of society.

The main indicator of socio-economic development of the region is still the gross regional product. It is most susceptible to changes in the methodological indicator. The relevance research of influence of factors on the dynamics of GRP is caused by the need for their systematic analysis. The purpose of this work is to determine the degree of influence of factors on the growth of GRP and identify the strengths and weaknesses of the economic development regions. To achieve this goal, four main factors were previously identified: agglomeration, labor, capital and infrastructure, and for eight synthetic indicators that characterize them, their integral values were calculated, which, along with the GRP per capita indicator, were used in the classification of regions by the level of economic development based on cluster analysis. In accordance with the developed classification, coefficients of regression equations are calculated for each group of regions, in which the effective indicator is GRP per capita, and integral indicators of factors are used as explanatory indicators. In conclusion, based on the obtained regression equations, the factors that have the greatest impact on the GRP per capita are determined, and the features of economic development of the regions of the Russian Federation are revealed.

The article is devoted to the research of the development of transport activities of the Ural Federal District. This macroregion of Russia acquires the opportunity to use the specifics of the modern period of development on the Eurasian continent in the context of international economic integration and the involvement of countries in the processes of international unification of economies. The possibility of using a generalized indicator as a measure of dynamic development concerning the transport system of a macroregion is being investigated. The dynamics of changes in the generalized criterion for optimizing the transport activities of the macroregion is calculated. The dynamic model of the development of the transport activity of the macroregion based on the generalized optimization criterion determines the result of the activity of the regional transportation system in the process of its implementation. The values of the optimization criterion deviate from the optimum significantly over the period under research. The suboptimal development of the transport system of the macroregion is observed.

In the context of the aggravated economic crisis in many countries, including Russia, there has been a sharp decline in investment activity in the real estate market in recent years.

In conditions of economic crisis, invariably there is a drop of supply and demand in the property market on the one hand due to the decline in real incomes, on the other hand the growth of prices for construction materials which in turn leads to increased property values. The increase in inflation also provokes a reduction in investment activity. [7]

Accordingly, all this leads to the fact that Russian investors began to refrain from real estate development projects. Construction of capital commercial real estate objects in Russia currently has a low profitability and a high risk of loss, as the price of objects decreases while the cost of materials and labor increases. Against the general background, the share of the transactions in the secondary market of both residential and commercial real estate is growing, this is primarily due to the increase in profitability from renting out real estate.

The study focuses on the research of fundamental reasons underlying the emergence of digital platform providing the formation of the global view on the role of digital platforms for building of a new organizational structure - "high-tech industrial ecosystem".

The purpose of the study is the validation of development a modern mechanism for the coordination of high-tech market entities within a single economic and organizational space – the ecosystem based upon the cross-industry digital platform.

This study, using general methods of scientific knowledge in various aspects, analyses the modern vector of the industrial growth explained by the implementation of ecosystems as new organizational and economic models. The principles for their formation, the probable structure, main differences from the traditional cluster and network models are reflected. It is proved that it is the ecosystem model that makes the ecosystem members achieve a positive synergetic effect during the implementation of their strategic growth targets in the conditions of digital transformation.

The article considers the application of tools of the industrial digital platform providing for the implementation of interaction between ecosystem members. Platform-based solutions have the big future from the viewpoint of the large data arrays analysis, reduced transaction losses and "perfect information" obtaining. As a result, the immediate course for introduction of cross-industry digital platform and ecosystem building is justified.

Digital cross-industry interaction within the platform will help to expand external communication and promotion channels, introduce digital business models and diversify production but it requires the provision of compatibility between the systems of industrial companies, functioning of a single digital platform and the cloud-based environment.

This article summarizes the existing conceptual approaches and provides the author's interpretation of the market interpretation of the concept of "municipal financial resources". The provision of financial resources is considered as the main condition for the economic security of the municipality, as a characteristic of the financial solvency and local governments' independence. A comparative analysis of the state of financial resources of local government is carried out, the level of their financial stability and independence is determined.

In this article, the author examines various aspects of the impact of the agricultural and food potential of one of the largest regions of Russia, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), on higher living standards of the local population and the qualitative improvement of their life in this harsh Northern climate. The situation in providing for this Russian region has changed dramatically in recent years: if previously only quantitative and a few qualitative parameters were considered to assess the level of demand for food products, today the criteria have changed significantly. Suppliers are required not only to provide a certain range of food products, but also to increase the requirements for the quality component. The author clearly proves that support for agricultural producers and farms, infrastructure development of rural areas is a global trend of the last decade. These factors, in turn, contribute to stabilizing the socio-economic situation in the country as a whole. In addition, the food preferences and needs of citizens living in the Republic have recently changed: local agri-food products are more in demand. Balancing supplies from other regions and saturating the market with their own food is the main task in the field of state regulation of this area. In addition, local products are characterized by good biochemical parameters, and in terms of caloric content and mineralization, they correspond to a healthy diet for active life in the Far North. To study all these problems, the author needed to apply not only special economic methods, but also some cross-cutting methods that include a set of social, economic, and environmental methods.

An attempt is made in this work to identify the mechanisms of the influence of the ports of the Northern Sea Route (NSR) on increasing the efficiency of the formation of focal zones for the development of the Eastern Arctic. The propulsive potential of the transport infrastructure is considered; the importance of the NSR for the integration of the southern and Arctic regions of the Far East is indicated. The methodology of the work is based on the theory of cumulative growth, in which the ideas of the formation of "growth poles" occupy a decisive position. The work uses methods of grouping, logical and comparative analysis. The information base of the study was the data of Rosstat. It is shown that the state's activity on the development of the NSR stimulates the development of the North Yakutsk and Chukotka support zones, enhancing the transport and raw materials specialization of the Eastern Arctic as a whole. The paper substantiates that in the Far Eastern Arctic, the traditional view of ports as the most important infrastructure assets, which are the business and economic center of territorial development, is insufficient for the recognition of transport infrastructure as a propulsion industry. Transport is a necessary but insufficient condition for the emergence and accelerated development of local "growth poles" in the Arctic. The propulsive effect of the port economy is low and is mainly of an induced nature, when capacities for product processing are created in the port territories, or when the transport infrastructure stimulates the emergence of transport-intensive extractive industries.

The paper discusses the role of gut microbiota control in human capital development. Using the analysis of existing literature authors suggest mutual entanglement of attention training practice and presence of certain microbiota population. Based on this conclusion recommendations for shaping future cognitive trainings is given. Authors also present a method for microbiome accounting in datasets where only dietary data is collected. Based on this approach possible association between microbiome and well-being domain of human capital is evaluated.

The article deals with current issues related to the theory and practice of ensuring Russia's economic security at the federal and regional levels from the point of view of risk assessment caused by globalization. The work aims to systematize threats to the country's economic security from the perspective of the nature of relations between business entities and government authorities in the context of globalization processes. The author's approach to characterizing the risks caused by both excessive and insufficient administrative impact on the activities of transnational and other large companies is presented, the negative consequences of both processes for the country as a whole and for its individual regions are considered. Special attention is paid to the anti-corruption component of ensuring economic security as a prerequisite for effective interaction between government departments and business groups.

Improving the efficiency of the use of fixed assets is one of the priority tasks facing modern machine-building enterprises. It is particularly relevant for spatially distributed holding structures that have emerged in the process of reforming the domestic machine-building complex and include enterprises that produce similar products and have similar types of production assets.

The purpose of the paper is to develop on the basis of mathematical modeling tools for solving problems of optimization of industrial enterprises' fixed assets development and use.

An approach to optimize the fixed assets load in a spatially distributed production system is proposed. A mathematical model in the form of a linear programming production and transport optimization problem is formulated, which allows one to find optimal production capacity load modes in a wide range of conditions. The optimal regimes of this model are studied. It is shown that in certain cases the capacity use optimization can be the only way to ensure the timely fulfillment of the customers' orders

The use of modern digital technologies that provide dynamic forecasting and optimization of the production capacity allows to achieve a number of improvements, including the production time and cost reduction and the growth in efficiently used production means.

The functioning of any complex system is usually assessed by observable parameters that are obvious to the researcher. Depending on the complexity of the system, there can be a fairly large number of such parameters (indicators) that can be measured based on existing measurement systems (scales). This is especially true for complex socio-economic systems. In this regard, at least two main tasks arise: how to determine the state and dynamics of the entire system as a whole and what is the influence and mutual influence of the elements of the system among themselves. One of such complex elements is the production potential of the region, the state and dynamics of which cannot be directly assessed. Usually, to assess it, indices, regression relationships, and an assessment of its main components (primary indicators) are used. This article discusses an approach based on the assessment of production potential using indicators derived from factor analysis. Factor analysis makes it possible to reduce the number of observed features (indicators included in the assessment of production potential) by searching for a smaller number of hidden (latent) factors (we called them indicators). The same approach was used to search for indicators reflecting the socio-economic development of the region. The article also examines the impact of the level of development of production potential on the socio-economic development of the region. At the same time, primary statistical indicators processed using factor analysis were used as the basis of the evidence base. Identified indicators reflecting the development of individual components of production potential. A rating assessment of the regions of the Central Federal District was carried out according to the proposed indicators.

In the context of the fourth industrial revolution, high-quality human capital that creates innovations is becoming the key factor in building the competitiveness of individual companies and the national economy as a whole. The digital transformation of public life has had a significant impact on human capital development. Remote communication, robotics and artificial intelligence technologies have created new opportunities in education, health care and employment. Education and health care have become more individualized and high-tech. Opportunities for remote employment and combining work in several companies have appeared. However, digitization also poses challenges and threats to human capital development. These include the need for continuous upgrading of competencies, increased levels of stress due to the increasing information and emotional load on an individual operating in the digital environment. The general job cuts and decline in the rights of employees who have switched to telecommuting also characterize digital economy. In addition, the introduction of digital tools increases the risks of discrimination against various population groups and growing social and economic inequality. Under these conditions, holders of human capital face the need to acquire new knowledge, improve their professional qualifications and comprehensive personal development throughout their lives. In order to ensure the least painful inclusion of all society members in the digital environment, the state and business must create conditions for increasing the level of digital, financial and legal competence of population.

For effective management of the commercial real estate, it is important to determine the capitalization rate. For this purpose, the revenue approach is used. In order for the result to be real for each segment of commercial real estate, it is important to determine the capitalization rates as accurately as possible. This article discusses two methods for calculating the capitalization rate. For the purity of the experiment, the same commercial real estate items in three different segments were used for both methods. This is an office, retail and industrial warehouse. Based on the comparison, one of the two options is selected, which is optimal and detailed. All calculations were made on the example of the city of Yekaterinburg. The time period is six months. Based on the experience gained, the authors suggest using the data obtained for further calculation of the capitalization rate. For clarity of the results obtained, graphs of the dependence of values were compiled. To calculate this indicator, the authors formed a sample of 26 pairs of offers that were simultaneously in the status of full sale and lease. The article presents a constructive and consistent analysis of the capitalization rate calculation using various methods, as well as informative conclusions. We hope that this method will be useful for practical evaluation.

Investment activity is critically important for the development of natural resource management industries in Russia. We believe that these significant volumes of natural resources that Russia possesses can be effectively exploited provided that an effective government policy that stimulates investment is formulated and implemented. When forming an effective industry investment policy, it is advisable to consider domestic and foreign experience, which necessitates a comprehensive analysis of existing investment attraction measures. Firstly, this paper provides an overview of the state investments stimulation mechanisms in natural resource sector, in particular, in timber industry. The most common and effective measures are identified, as well as the institutional features of their application environment. Secondly, the mechanism of priority investment projects implemented in Russia in the field of forest development is being examined in detail, a number of problems associated with its implementation are described. An econometric model is developed to grasp the factors determining the successful implementation of priority investment projects in Russia. The research results provide valuable information for decision making at the state level on the selection of investment projects to be supported.

Currently, the use of additive technologies is becoming relevant instead of traditional production technologies. The market offers a fairly large selection of 3D printers with different designs and kinematics. Each design and kinematics has its own disadvantages and advantages. The article demonstrates various versions of the kinematics of FDM 3D printers, the main units and parts, as well as their impact on the quality of 3D printing of parts. The results of structuring the quality function (QFD) and analysis of the types and consequences of potential inconsistencies (FMEA) of an FDM 3D printer for prototyping and manufacturing parts and assemblies for unmanned aerial vehicles are presented. A qualimetric assessment of the quality of FDM 3D printers with various kinematics design based on the QFD interconnection matrix was carried out. The aim of the study is to analyze the design and kinematics of FDM 3D printers for the manufacture of high-quality parts and assemblies for unmanned aerial vehicles without further post-processing based on the application of the QFD methodology. Based on the results of the study, recommendations and proposals for improving the design of FDM 3D printers were developed.

The subject of the research is the regional industrial policy of import substitution and export support in constituent entities of the Russia. The hypothesis of the research is as follows: poor performance of the regional industrial policy implementation in 2014-2018 in the Russia is associated with the parallel implementation of the two policies types: import substitution and export support. The goal of the research is to develop theoretical and methodological approaches to the implementation of the regional industrial policy of import substitution and export support. To achieve the goal, the following methods were used: the world economic literature and the best foreign practices analysis, comparative and historical analysis of the legislation of the Russia, correlation analysis of import substitution policy results and export support results in constituent entities of the Russia. As a result of the study, the models and types of regional industrial policy of import substitution and export support were classified, and the types of export-oriented import substitution policy were introduced. As a result of approbation of the scientific results, gaps between the declared and implemented models and types of industrial policy in the regions of Russia were revealed. The conclusion was drawn about the imperfection of the strategic management system of the industrial policy in the constituent entities of the Russia, and recommendations for such system optimization were given. The results obtained may be used by executive authorities of the Russia constituent entities in the development of regional state programs in the field of industrial policy.

The implementation of the reform of the solid municipal waste management system (MSW) consists not only in creating the necessary infrastructure for collecting, transporting, processing, recycling and disposal of MSW, but also the necessary organizational and managerial (territorial schemes for handling MSW, investment programs, the creation of specialized institutions, in particular, the Russian environmental operator, etc.) and financial and economic (tariffs, financial instruments, economic levers, mechanisms for attracting investment) tools. The paper considers the possibilities and advantages of using project financing as a mechanism for attracting private investment in the MSW management system. The conclusions and practical results can be used by the bodies authorized to carry out the reform of the MSW management system, while creating favorable conditions for the development of the project financing mechanism in the MSW management system and improving its effectiveness.

This paper discusses a methodological framework for assessing infrastructure projects on the base of public private partnership, which can help investors to take the decision of investment. The financing schemes associated with infrastructure projects have been considered and analyzed in this article and the FUZZY – AHP technique was applied to get the optimal financial scheme for financing infrastructure projects on the base of public private partnership. To get the optimal solution, the membership functions and the weights of the variables in every financial scheme in infrastructure projects on the base of private public partnership have been calculated. At the end, a case study was applied to demonstrate the application of analytical hierarchy process module. The results of the study can be used in theoretical and practical researches to develop the financial mechanism of infrastructure projects, as well as can help to predict new schemes to improve the infrastructure projects based on private public partnership.

Today in Russia, one of the main factors in the development of an effective model of the modern economy is an adequate cadastral assessment of land plots and other real estate. However, the problem of improving the procedure for determining it and the system for challenging its results needs to be improved and is becoming increasingly urgent in connection with the introduction of a new real estate tax soon throughout the country, which should replace the land tax and property tax. The article considers the problems of modern system of cadastral evaluation of real estate and the system for challenging its results. It also includes analysis of reports on determination of cadastral cost of real estate in the whole country and more detailed in Moscow, St.-Petersburg, Krasnodar and the Moscow region, presented on the official website of Rosreestr. The results of the study demonstrate the imperfection of the system of cadastral evaluation of real estate and, above all, the methodology of its determination, as evidenced by requests to fix errors in the budget of the organization and overall operation of the system of challenging the cadastral value, serving today is an indicator of the effectiveness of the applied rating models.

the main subject of the article is process of risk management of the support services in the information management systems of the enterprise, on the base of the quality management system, that consist of three stages: to score the service quality, based on a tree-like scheme of indicators, to schedule an action plan for the year with the help of a 20 Keys Kaboyasi adapted program and to analyze the features of the services.In the article we analyze features of the work, identifie the main goals, roles and functions of key employees of the organization in the context of risk management, present the process of risk management of reducing the quality of the service. We choose the main stages as: identification of risks, compilation of the General list, qualitative analysis, compilation of the list of actual risks, assignment of roles, method of response, action plan and monitoring.

This article proposes accounting for uncertainty factors in a dynamic optimization model. Accounting for uncertainty factors in equipment performance is represented by a decreasing piecewise-constant function, the domain of which is the expert ordinal measurement scale. The basis of the optimization of the execution time on the example of creating a helicopter technology is the dead-end control method which refers to such an admissible Boolean control in which the replacement of an arbitrary zero component by one leads to a violation of the resource constraint. To ensure stable work of a manufacturer, several options of network schedules are usually calculated based on various initial data. The final choice of the effective option is made according to a vector criterion, which can include the time of completion of a complex of works, the degree of intensity of a plant's work plans, the uniformity of the equipment load (work teams), etc.

This paper presents a universal method of structural analysis of the commercial real estate market with a detailed step-by-step analysis. For example, the analysis was carried out based on commercial real estate in the city of Ekaterinburg. The method is unique in creating visual content that is a map of typical territorial zones of the city of Ekaterinburg. The analysis method also includes the classical structuring of information in the form of tables and diagrams based on real offers for the sale and lease of real estate. The authors formulated forecasts for each segment of the commercial real estate market. Based on this work, anyone can conduct a similar analysis in their city or use it as a base for creating a visualization of the territory according to the zoning given in the work. Having information structured in this way will make it easier to evaluate real estate objects by their real environment.

Absence of databases compiled during the real estate market analysis poses a substantial problem and questions the integrity and validity of evaluation appraisals. This study is relevant due to its formal approach towards analyzing the real estate market, the necessity to accumulate relevant data and price factors, and taking into consideration the objectives of the appraisal. Use of insufficient or irrelevant data from reports on market/cadastral value poses a significant problem, which hinders practical implementation of modern economic processes and influences purchase and sales prices of real estate, as well as its taxation during cadastral appraisal.

The subject of this research is the real estate market of Krasnodar. The object of this research is the economic interaction taking place during construction, turnover, and development of real estate property. The authors have divided the territory of Krasnodar into zones and selected the most economically developed neighborhoods. These neighborhoods constituted the material of this study. The authors have also determined the pricing factors and their quantitative features. During this study, a database which may be used for real estate property appraisal has been created.

The article attempts to analyze the application of lean manufacturing tools and techniques in the service sector for their further standardization. Initially, lean manufacturing arose and found application at industrial enterprises, and for some time it was believed that lean processes work effectively only in the manufacturing sector. However, the examples of the application of lean manufacturing tools in practice, given in this article, make it possible to show their effectiveness even in such an area of economic activity as the service sector, the specialty of which is the intangibility, intangibility of the service itself. The analysis showed that almost all the methods given in the standard are applicable and effective for the service sector. The peculiarity of the lean manufacturing tools and methods application for the service sector was at the initial stage the correct and reliable value determination of the service as a product. The possibilities of lean manufacturing tools using in various service sectors were analyzed on the specific examples, taking into account international and national standards in the field of lean manufacturing and activities classified at the national level. The main directions of standardization of lean manufacturing tools in the service sector are proposed.

The article considers the phenomenon of digital innovation as a factor in the development of the regional economy. Using the example of the Siberian Federal District, the authors found that there is a direct relation between the value of indicators of innovative development of regions and indicators of the development of the digital economy. In addition, the article included a SWOT analysis of the development of digital innovations in the Kemerovo region-Kuzbass, as a raw material region with the potential for development in the sphere of digitalization.

The authors focus on the measurement of the impact of human capital on economic growth because of negative trends in population, decreasing cash incomes, "brain - drain", decline in the quality of education and growing stratification in access by income level. It is pointed out that the existing tools of human capital valuation should be analyzed and tools for assessing the impact of human capital on economic growth have essential significant. Authors put forward a hypothesis that the growth of human capital drives to GDP growth or GRP growth is it is about a region. The article provides raw data and calculations of indicators of efficiency of use of capital goods and human capital for the Russian Federation for 2014-2016 and for the Udmurt Republic for 2013-2017. Conclusions drawn from calculations formulating indicate that the hypothesis concerning direct correlation between cost of human capital and efficiency of use tangible and intangible assets is failure. Particularly it is showed that the increase in the cost of human capital went hand in hand with decreasing of the efficiency of use of tangible and intangible assets in 2014 and 2016.

However, the low effectiveness of the procedures, which regulate socio-economic relations, such as underestimation of the importance of a problem such as the need for their restructuration lead to a necessity in increased attention throughout the economic entities of the real sector of the economy. The urgency of this research problem can be determined by the lack of development of the tools which in turn lead to the development and implementation of personnel policy, aimed at improving the socio-labor relations by making sure to provide sustainable employment inside the organization and effective regulation of the internal labor market. The article demonstrates that personnel policy is not only the main element of socio-labor relations but also a key part for personnel management decisions, since it predetermines the receipt of an overall positive synergetic effect. In this regard, it has been demonstrated that developing organizations which have based their policies on active innovation and strategic processes both internally and externally are characterized for using multiple personnel policies simultaneously resulting to distortions within the organization, which in turn negatively affect the performance of the organization as a whole. It is substantiated that personnel policy should not be regarded as an obligatory formal document, but more as a strategically significant decision for personnel management, which in turn could affect not only the destiny of the organization but also their balance of power among the competitive environment both positively or negatively depending on how correctly it was set.

The change in the professional positioning of a modern university graduate — from the narrow development of one specialty to the ability to adapt to the changing conditions of the innovation economy; reliance on creativity and mental development of an individual identified the research problem — the lack of methodological support to develop teaching aids at the university. The theory comprehension and practice of the educational process organization in the chemical direction made it possible to affirm that there are large reserves for the students' mental development due to the completeness and depth, consistency, and logic of a high theoretical level in the chemical disciplines.

The study purpose is to develop and determine the effectiveness of the use of creative cards in the study of chemical disciplines to improve the level of students' mental development.

The research methodology included an analysis of the essence of the concept «creative card», identification of criteria and indicators of students' mental development, development of a set of creative cards in chemistry, determination of their influence on the mental development level, development of a methodical system of students' mental development using creative cards, and testing the effectiveness of the system in a teaching experiment.

The basis of the chosen approach is an idea of cognitive psychology D. P. Ausubel. Presentation of new concepts and judgments through logical structures and concepts are already known; accumulated by students, identifying the main ideas of the subject, further differentiation, detailing; combining new material with previously presented information by comparing, comparing and finding connections between them is one of the effective tools to organize and present knowledge. However, the study made it possible to substantiate creative cards as means of learning that affects mental development. Developed methodological support for the use of creative cards to improve the level of students' mental development, confirmed its effectiveness.

In this article the author's technique of introduction of "nature similar" technologies which will give the chance to overcome a threshold of synchronous expenses is offered. Simultaneous interaction of technologically combined productions will allow to gain synergetic effect. The main link connecting new technologies the personal autonomous ecological system (PAES) is designed to become.

The personal autonomous ecological system, in economic sense, is a personal subsidiary farm, expanded and technically equipped. The list, the values made in personal ecological system increases. They in the set create the new quality of life inaccessible in former technological ways. Live organisms and lifeless substances, devices, designs are a part of personal autonomous ecological system. The system which adapts to needs and desires of the specific person functions. Physical parameters of system are supported at optimum level irrespective of weather changes, state of environment. Stability of the system provides repeated duplication of each resource from different sources, stocks of resources and a variety of their consumption. The system can be reconstructed and evolve. Everything depends on what objects are set for it.

Modern development of additional educational services makes it necessary for educational organizations that provide such services to use tools to guarantee the quality of education. The international and domestic scientific communities in the field of additional professional education (APE) have developed and successfully introduced into educational practice a three-level trajectory of confirming the quality of education implemented by educational organizations: institutional, program and qualification trajectories. An educational organization that operates in the field of additional professional education can choose any option to confirm the quality of its activities.

However, practice shows that for a higher education institution where additional professional training is a subsystem of its quality management system (QMS), the institutional trajectory, which provides for the development, implementation and confirmation of compliance with the QMS of APE, seems to be the most important. Therefore, it is proposed to adapt the standard model of quality system (ISO 9000 & ENQA) to the specifics of additional professional education. This standard model has a modular and hierarchical structure that allows to integrate APE QMS into QMS of a higher education institution quite easily.

The approach proposed in the paper to guarantee the quality of additional professional education implemented by higher education institutions, based on APE QMS, and having a modular and hierarchical model of the quality system (ISO 9000 & ENQA), will ensure the quality of training of students of professional educational programs.

Among the priority areas of domestic science development, the state singled out the creation and development of digital technologies, systems capable of processing large amounts of data, which will make it possible to make a significant contribution to accelerating economic growth and ensuring the country's security (including financial security). Such directions of development have led to the appearance in society of the problems of human interaction and digitaltechnologies in the financial sphere, leading both to a change in the model of financing the economy, and to the emergence of «Cifrogenic»/»digital-genous»¹ threats and challenges to society, the economy and man.

Purpose: The society is faced with the dual nature of digital financial technologies, which is manifested in the fact that they are not only the basis for the development of innovative processes in the financial sector, but also a source of risks for society, the economy and people.

Design/methodology/approach: The tools of systemic, structural functional and institutional approaches were used in the process of substantiation of theoretical provisions, data analysis, conclusions and recommendations that allowed analyzing and taking the complex areas of financial development of digital technology and human interaction and digital technology in the financial sector are analyzed as the studied material.

A review of the literature on the selected topic has shown that relations arising in the course of human-digital interaction in the financial sphere are discussed in many papers of such scholars as Alifanova et al. (2019), Alifanova et al. (2018), Chechenov et al. (2020), Kumykov et al. (2017), Magomedov et al. (2017), Nivorozhkina et al. (2016), Smagina et al. (2017), Popkova et al. (2018), Lokova et al. (2019), Reshetnikova et al. (2019), Zmiyak et al. (2019), Reshetnikova and Magomedov, (2020).

Findings: There are opportunities to form a «digital financial profile» of a person who becomes an object of advertising, marketing, sociological, political research, and ultimately can become a subject of social rating and a source of information for managing the financial behavior of a person and the country's population as a whole. Whereas the answers to the questions of who and in whose interests controls the financial behavior of the country's population relate to the field of national security.

Originality/value: The functionality of digital technologies creates a new platform for human financial activity: supporting the adoption of credit and investment decisions, the availability of financial products and services and their personification through processing and analysis of big data, new types of investment assets resulting from blockchain technology and much more. At the same time, moving ever-increasing volumes of financial activity into virtual space, changing the format of interaction (from traditional Business-to-Customer to Peer-to-Peer and even Digital Profile-Digital profile), the emergence of Fintech companies, digitalization of the financial sector has wide range of consequences. So, financial organizations no longer interact with a person, but with his "digital profile", with a psychological-digital portrait.

The goal of this research is studying the results achieved by using the existing taxation instruments regulating the creation of R&D expenses during the profits tax calculation and payment in the manufacturing sector of the economy of the Russian Federation. The main methods of this research are the analysis and the generalization of regulatory documents, as well as the mathematical representation based on the extrapolation of empiric data on the structure of R&D expenses incurred within 2012-2018 on the profit tax base. In terms of expense tracking, Russian tax legislation prescribes complicated procedures for R&D expenses accounting taking into consideration such limitation as using a minimum of 75% of the labor costs. The mechanism of fiscal expansion for the innovative activities in terms of R&D is separate from the methods of innovation process implementation, including the product life cycle phases and innovation process stages. Due to this, it is important to treat manufacturing enterprises as a separate category, because their operations are innovation-active. In practice, we suggest expanding the existing list of innovative activities in strategic areas of the country's economic safety in order to increase the rates of high-end technology introduction in manufacturing.

Today, the problem of ensuring safe working conditions in the workplace is relevant for any employer. At the moment, despite the introduction of advanced technologies and equipment at oil and gas production facilities, personnel are exposed to a set of adverse production factors having an industry-specific nature and features. These features influence the reliability of the results of the occupational risk assessment. The methods existing today do not fully reflect the whole picture of risk in the workplace, but give only their fragmented values. The aim of this work is to develop an integrated methodology for assessing occupational risks for oil and gas production companies. In this work, from the variety of methods, we selected four methods that together take into account a significant number of risk-generating aspects, namely: the method of assessing the individual occupational risk level, the Fine-Kinney method, the method of scoring occupational risks, and the method of sociological survey of workers. The study on the assessment of occupational risks using an integrated method was carried out at the facilities for the development of three fields - the Yarakta, Iktekh, and Markovo fields belonging to Irkutsk Oil Company LLC. According to the results of applying the integrated assessment of occupational risks, most positions had a "medium" risk level, but for occupations engaged in manual labor and having a lower degree of automation of labor a "high" risk level was established. For these workplaces, it is necessary first of all to implement measures to improve working conditions.

The aim of this paper was to identify processes forming the largest amounts of dust and to develop and test additional methods for suppressing dust emissions into the air of the working area for the main occupations, primarily at the stage of loading ore raw materials into the ore-smelting furnace for the silicon production. Using the method for determining the specific surface area of fine materials - the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method - it was shown that gas cleaning dust of the silicon production has a developed surface and high wetting ability, which makes it possible to recommend dust suppression methods using irrigation systems. In assessing occupational risks, it has been found that the level of risk is high, working conditions are hazardous and it is necessary to take measures to reduce the dust content in the workplace through the introduction of effective dust suppression systems.

Throughout the world, along with the benefits that poultry farming brings to the economy of each individual country, there is a large-scale problem of such byproduct of its activity as feathers. In addition, 91% of them consist of a very valuable protein source with β-keratin. Keratin itself is very poorly decomposed and further disposed component. It makes up one of the components of feathers, the part of vertebrate skin.

There is a growing preference for cost-effective and ecologically friendly poultry waste management ways. And it is the keratinase enzyme, obtained as a result of the bacteria activities, that shows great potential in this area. The selection, identification and improvement of the activities of such species of bacteria which could decompose the chicken feathers is the subject of ongoing research. About 89% provided chicken feathers were disposed (in other words, utilized) by bacteria in 2 days at temperature of 37° C. Full disposal took place after 53 hours. This study provides new results on the activities of microorganisms in the sphere of feather composting, and could also serve as an instruction for improving the work of the poultry industry in the management of keratin waste.

The economy of the Russian Federation at the present stage is characterized by an extremely high level of consumption of raw materials and waste generation. This is due to the export-raw material orientation of production, as well as the level of technological development. In this regard, the amount of waste generation and accumulation is steadily increasing. Analysis of current trends has shown that every year, on average, Russians emit about 80 million tons of municipal waste. At the same time, both in Russia and in other countries, the structure of MSW is approximately the same. These are primarily glass, paper, plastics, fabrics and organic products, as well as oversized items such as old furniture, car parts, etc. At first glance, recycling household garbage is a fairly simple and profitable business. Thus, by recycling car tires, you can get rubber coatings that are actively used in the economy, new paper is made from waste paper, and organic garbage is obtained from. The methodology used for creating data or information flow diagrams is described. The relevance of using this technology in modern practice is shown. The practical application of the DFD methodology in modeling a new financing system in the field of solid municipal waste management is presented.

The article states the growing interest in social services that aim to satisfy individual preferences of a consumer. According to many social studies, the interest in higher quality commercial services is also steadily increasing. The commercial services are demanded by the representatives of the middle class that take care of their elderly relatives and disabled children or support the dependents; and by the other categories of disadvantaged citizens. As the reform of pension provision develops, the share of population that demand social servicing and are able to pay for preferred social services will also rise.

The authors have defined the key elements of the organizational economic mechanism of adaptation of regional system of social servicing of the population to the market conditions of functioning: regional standards of social servicing of the population that determine the typology of social services, standard cost of a service, standards of targeted funding of non-commercial organizations that create the supply chain as an alternative to governmental organizations of social protection. The results of statistical study of the scope and structure of social services, assessed cost of social services with regard to their various types, forms of provision, and categories of consumers are shown by the example of the operational analysis of organizations of social protection of the population in the Ural region. The authors have brought forward arguments to apply standard methods to the formation process of basic economic standards in social economy. It has been proved that while formation of consolidated standard cost of social services, classified according to the categories of consumers, forms of provision, and types of social services, their resource intensity averages out with the coefficient of variation at a standard error rate (of 33%).

In the present research, the temperature dependence of heat capacity of two ionic liquids VBTEA-Cl (1) and VBTEA-BF4 (2) were studied. 4-Vinylbenzyl triethylammonium chloride was synthesized by original methodic. 4-Vinylbenzyl triethylammonium tetrafluoroborate was obtained via anion exchange reaction. Compounds was characterized by FTIR and NMR spectroscopies, their purity was proven. Compounds 1 and 2 were studied by different scanning calorimetry over the temperature range from 300 to 600 K. The melting point were determined for both substances, but 4-vinylbenzyl pyridine triethylammonium tetrafluoroborate wasn't stable after melting in contrast with 4-vinylbenzyl pyridine chloride. The experimental data were used to calculate the enthalpy of phase transition (melting) for compound 1.

The article presents studies aimed at establishing the influence of anthropogenic impact on composition and properties of the alluvial soddy soil. Assessment is demonstrated of the degree of damage caused to soils as a result of fertile layer removal and closure. Degree of the alluvial soil fertility indicator alteration is established by the water extract pH value, content of organic matter, level of provision with available forms of phosphorus in connection to violating the stripping and quarrying technology in extraction of construction sand and reclamation of damaged lands. Our studies were conducted on a land plot with soil samples of alluvial soddy soil taken at the depth of 0-20 cm. Rate of decrease was established in the organic matter content in soil layer of 0-20 cm as a result of stripping and quarrying. Studies demonstrated significant alteration in the soil granulometric (grain) composition in the damaged land confirmed by a sharp decrease in the soil aggregate fractions number. Destruction of the alluvial soil fertile layer, and damage to the soil cover during extraction of minerals by the open-pit quarrying method, and, as a consequence, deterioration in its environmental and water protection role, both for natural soils and for soils of river valleys, was proved. Thus, degradation of soil, as a means of agricultural production, is a loss of soil fertility and land productivity; soil degradation, as a historically formed body, is a decrease in its reliability, elasticity and durability. Negative processes are manifested to a varying degree on agricultural lands, which requires the need to assess the levels of impact of factors causing degradation, degree of soil alteration and possibility of their rehabilitation, elaboration of ways to optimize and create an ecologically sustainable land use system.

The article presents studies on establishing the influence of anthropogenic impacts on alluvial soils of agricultural lands. To solve the problem set, tasks were determined to estimate the degree of damage caused to soils of agricultural lands as a result of the soil humus layer loss or closure. These tasks included establishing the degree of alteration in soil fertility indicators for agricultural lands in regard to pH volume; organic matter content; degree of provision with K2O and P2O5 accessible forms as a result of violating technology of the damaged land stripping and reclamation. Nature of changes in granulometric (grain) and micro-aggregate soil composition is demonstrated. Study objects included agricultural land territories with soil samples of alluvial granular soil taken at the depth of 0-5 cm and 5-20 cm. Necessity is demonstrated to study in detail the agroecological assessment of land use systems and the development of differentiated measures ensuring reproduction of soil fertility, crop growth and territory ecological sustainability. Negative processes are manifested to a varying degree on agricultural land in most administrative regions of Russia including agricultural land in the Orel Region, which requires creation of the ecologically sustainable land use system. Since transformation of compounds entering the ecological system primarily occurs in the soil, which acts as a filter and as the factor of transformation and accumulation of the entering substances, agrobiological features of soil composition and properties make it extremely sensitive to anthropogenic impact. As a result of scientific research, it was revealed that the studied area experienced a decrease in soil fertility main indicators of the alluvial soils and destruction (deterioration) of the fertile soil layer as a result of exposure to anthropogenic influence. Rates of decrease in the organic matter content in soil layer as a result of the soil humus layer damage are shown. Significant fluctuations in the amount of exchangeable potassium in the soils of anthropogenically damaged agricultural lands are established. Degree of decrease in the amount of available phosphorus in soils without humus layer is revealed. Significant alteration in the granulometric (grain) composition of the damaged land soil is proved.
