ЧИСЛЕННОЕ МОДЕЛИРОВАНИЕ ВРЕМЕННЫХ РЯДОВ БИОКЛИМАТИЧЕСКИХ ИНДЕКСОВ В АРКТИЧЕСКОЙ ЗОНЕ РОССИЙСКОЙ ФЕДЕРАЦИИ НА ОСНОВЕ СТОХАСТИЧЕСКОГО “ГЕНЕРАТОРА ПОГОДЫ”

The paper proposes an approach to the numerical stochastic modeling of the time series of the wind chill index and equivalent effective temperature at weather stations located in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. The approach is based on the use of a specially designed stochastic weather generator. It is shown that the approach allows developing the models of the time series of bioclimatic indices that very accurately reproduce various statistical properties of real processes related, in particular, to their daily variations and specific features of the study area.

Dental health in the adult population of Arkhangelsk: а study protocol

BACKGROUND: The Arkhangelsk region is characterized by a high prevalence and intensity of dental diseases among adults, but most of the studies were either hospital-based or used small samples with questionable representativeness.
 AIM: This article is a protocol of an original study, the purpose of which is to assess the dental status and its association with somatic health in a representative sample of the adult population of Arkhangelsk.
 MATERIAL AND METHODS: In 2022, a cross-sectional study “Prevalence of dental pathology among the population of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation (using the example of Arkhangelsk) and associated characteristics of the microbiome of the intestine and the respiratory tract” (hereinafter referred to as the dental study) was conducted in Arkhangelsk. The dental study was a part of the study “Molecular and genetic markers of the response to coronavirus infection and changes in the human microbiota and metabolome during the COVID-19 pandemic” (hereinafter referred to as the study on the effects of COVID-19). Data collection for the study was carried out from October 3 to November 10, 2022 at the Northern State Medical University. The study involved 463 adults aged 42–76 years living in the city of Arkhangelsk, representing a random sample of the adult population who had previously taken part in the “Know Your Heart” project in 2015–2017. All participants were asked to undergo an additional dental examination. The response rate was 91.6%. The dental examination included a questionnaire, assessment of dental status as recommended by the World Health Organization (2013), assessment of oral hygiene and gum inflammation, dental aesthetic index (DAI), collection of gingival fluid, autofluorescence stomatoscopy (AFS), examination by an orthodontist with periotestometry, performing a photo protocol, conducting biometrics of plaster models. When indicated, participants were asked to undergo an in-depth diagnostic to identify orthodontic pathology, namely, teleradiography and a cone-beam computed tomography.
 EXPECTED RESULTS: The proposed study using validated instruments and a representative sample has a major strength in providing unbiased assessment of the prevalence of oral health conditions in Arkhangelsk in the studied age group. Moreover, the material collected in this study has a potential to provide a unique opportunity to assess the associations between dental health and somatic health, lifestyle, microbiota, and metabolome since the data on the abovementioned characteristics were collected during the other projects and stored in a biobank.

Increasing the probability of transfer GMDSS broadcast messages when transmitted over HF channel in case fading

Improving the quality of communication in the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System of navigation is one of the components of the development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation in terms of information support. At the same time, the most difficult is to ensure communication in the A3 and A4 areas, where a communication HF channel plays a not small role. The transfer of messages over HF channel in the broadcasting mode of SITOR-B is considered. To improve probabilistic characteristics in the work, a statistical analysis of the decisions of the demodulator is carried out. It is shown that the probability density functions are “noisy”, which is associated with the non-zero probability of a bit error. Models of Rayleigh, Rice and Nakagami distributions were used for statistical analysis. It is shown that in the case of low values of the signal-to-noise ratio, which is characteristic of high latitude tracks, a Nakagami model is preferable. The symbol error rate and message error rate in a fading communication channel, as well as the probability of receiving an erroneous message are shown. The results presented in this work can significantly improve the probabilistic characteristics of the HF radiolines when transmitting messages in SITOR-B mode.

Морские водоросли как важный функциональный ингредиент и продовольственное сырье для обогащения рационов питания населения Арктической зоны Российской Федерации (обзор)

The paper analysed scientific literature on seaweed as an additional source of nutrients and biologically active compounds. The studies demonstratе that brown algae are promising raw materials for human nutrition. Algae contain 7 amino acids essential for adults, as well as monoiodotyrosine and diiodotyrosine, which induce a hormone-like effect of algae proteins on the human body. Brown algae fats are represented by both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, which allows us to assume that algae can become an alternative source of essential long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, having a positive effect on the cardiovascular and nervous systems, as well as on the cognitive development of children. It should be emphasized that brown algae are a source of fucosterol, which has hypocholesterolemic, hypotensive, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumour and antidiabetic effects. Algae carbohydrates include polysaccharides unique in their chemical structure and biological activity: alginates, having anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and immunomodulatory properties; fucoidans, producing antibacterial, antioxidant and antitumour effects; and laminarins, exerting immunomodulatory, antioxidant, antitumour and antibacterial effects. Polyphenols contained in algae are not found in terrestrial plants. Algae are a source of iodine and other minerals as well as vitamins. Currently, algae are being used in human diets in a number of countries. However, there are certain problems that require further research, such as the possible side-effects of excessive consumption of seaweed, its daily intake recommendations, and bioavailability of nutrients after seaweed handling and processing. In general, it can be concluded that seaweed may well become an important functional ingredient and alimentary raw material for enriching the diet of the population in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation.

Implementation of the biomonitoring system in large scientific expeditions on the example of the scientific and educational project "Arctic Floating University"

Currently, biomonitoring research is actively developing in the Arctic region, despite this, groups of people who temporarily come to the Arctic remain outside the national monitoring system, unlike the local population. Participation in expeditions on ships implies special living conditions, such as limited space, sensory deprivation. The study aims to analyse the biochemical parameters of blood, the content of essential, toxic elements, persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and vitamin D in samples of the expedition group temporarily coming to work in extreme Arctic conditions. Scientists carried out a study on board the Mikhail Somov scientific expedition vessel as part of the Arctic Floating University project. The participants were 50 people: 26 men and 24 women aged 20 to 72 years. As a result of the analysis, the authors have determined: 8 biochemical blood parameters, vitamin D levels by high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometric detection, the content of essential (Co, Mn, Se, Cu, Zn), toxic elements (As, Cd, Hg, Pb) using an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer and POPs by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Almost 90% of the expedition participants had vitamin D concentrations below 20 ng/ml, which indicates a deficiency of this vitamin in the body. After conducting a comparative analysis between the expedition group and the permanent population of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug (NAO), it was found that the expedition group significantly reduced the content of not only toxic compounds (As, Cd, Hg, Pb, POPs), but also essential elements (Co, Mn, Se, Cu, Zn), according to compared to the local population. It is worth noting that the concentration of arsenic in the expedition group is 65 times lower (0.12 µg/L) than in permanent residents of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation (7.29 µg/L), and the concentration of lead in the group of expedition workers was 42 times lower (0.30 µg/L) than in the local population (15.21 µg/L). The data obtained provide information about the elementary and toxic status of the urban population of the Russian Federation. One of the reasons for such differences may be the predominantly traditional lifestyle of the local NAO population and the biomagnification of toxic substances in food chains. If biomonitoring studies are carried out by specialists on an ongoing basis and the data obtained is accumulated, then a basis may appear for predicting risks of both a short-term and long-term nature. The conducted research contributes to the expansion of the biomonitoring system at the national level.

Influence of preferential regimes on the Russian Far East development

The purpose of the study is to assess the impact of preferential regimes on the socio-economic development of territories on the example of the Far Eastern regions. We use both quantitative (e.g. regression and correlation analysis, modeling, method of averages, index method, “difference in differences”, factor analysis) and qualitative methods (document analysis, case-study, benchmarking, classification). The creation of preferential regimes, such as the Territory of Advanced Development, Free Port of Vladivostok, Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation, was a key element of the Far East development policy. To manage these preferential regimes a development institution has been created named Corporation for the Far East and the Arctic Development (CFEAD). We carried out the evaluation of the indicators of preferential regimes functioning and the socio-economic development of the Far Eastern regions. We identified the regions where these regimes have a positive impact on economic growth, and estimated the degree of the CFEAD’s assistance to their success. Also we worked out recommendations for optimizing preferential regimes and development institutions activities, which are acceptable both for the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District and in the all-Russian context.

Comparative Analysis of Regional Socioeconomic Heterogeneous Indicators in the Subjects of the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation and Their Integral Assessment

The Arctic Zone of Russian Federation (AZRF) is a unique geography with diverse socioeconomic factors playing significant roles in its stability and progress. In order to accurately assess and evaluate the overall socioeconomic progress of AZRF, the heterogeneous factors should be considered in an integrated manner, which will give a holistic view of the socioeconomic stability and development of the region. The available literature on socioeconomic development of Russian Arctic region however suffers from lack of integrated analysis of heterogeneous indicators. In this article, the authors have selected five heterogeneous indicators which best describe the socioeconomic condition of a given region, which in this case is AZRF and performed integral analysis for the time period 2014–2019. The indicators refer to socioeconomic aspects such as gross regional product and amount of investments received by the region, which in turn leads to changes in employment opportunities and income level of the population along with social benefits available to them. The mathematical instrument used for the analysis is the theory of fuzzy logic in the framework of determination of the subdirect image of a fuzzy set. This method is scalable and can be extended to any number of indicators of diverse nature since the final score will be in the range of [0, 1] making comparison of regions and ranking possible. Using this method, the subjects were ranked at individual indicator level and at holistic level as a result of which the advantages and disadvantages of each subject and the AZRF as a whole were determined. At holistic level, the subjects were ranked as Krasnayarsky Krai, Arkhangelsk Oblast, Republic of Komi, Murmansk Oblast, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Karelia Republic, Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Nenets Autonomous Okrug and Chukotka Autonomous Okrug based on the integral scores obtained.

Targeted approach to assessing the impact of living conditions and social factors of the habitat on the medico-demographic status of rural territories in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation

BACKGROUND:According to the Federal Law “On Sanitary-Epidemiological Well-being of the Population” the “environmental factors that have or may have an impact on humans and on health of future generations” along with chemical, physical and biological factors, also include “social factors". Within framework of section “State of Public Health in Connection with the State of Natural Environment and Living Conditions” of the system of state sanitary and epidemiological regulation, a significant number of normative and methodological documents have been approved aimed at assessing the impact of chemical, physical and biological environmental factors on population health, while not a single document has been developed concerning “social factors of habitat” or “living conditions”. In the “Strategy for the Development of the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation (AZRF) until 2035” , the “main dangers, challenges and threats that form risks for development of AZRF” include clear signs of deterioration in medico-demographic situation, where, along with migration outflow, reduction of population number, high mortality rate, “lag behind all-Russian values of indicators characterizing quality of life”, poor state of social, housing, communal, transport infrastructure were noted.
 OBJECTIVES:development of the concept of “living conditions” as a set of “social factors of habitat” formed by “social infrastructure” of a settlement; development of conceptual model of determinants of human health, indicating place of living conditions (social infrastructure) in the frame of habitat; scientific substantiation of concept of “harmful effects of social factors of habitat”; development of targeted approach to assessing the impact of living conditions on medico-demographic status of rural areas of AZRF using scoring system for assessing living conditions, which makes it possible to rank individual villages according to the value of infrastructure indices and the integral index of living conditions (IILC).
 PRACTICAL SIGNIFICANCE:Implementation in practice of the proposed targeted methodological approach will make it possible to scientifically substantiate the need to take differentiated measures (managerial decisions) in relation to the identified “risk territorie”, “risk group”, and “risk pathologies”, aimed at improving living conditions, preserving public health, ensuring sanitary-epidemiological well-being, reducing the intensity of negative trends in demographic processes in the regions of AZRF.

Preferential Regime of the Russian Arctic: Tendencies and First Results from Realization of the World’s Largest Special Economic Zone

The preferential regime of the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation is the latest regulatory mechanism designed to overcome negative socio-economic trends in the macroregion. The accumulated factual data over the three-year period of this work have made it possible to make the first reasonable estimates of its effects on the regional economy. The purpose of this study is to investigate the presence of transformational changes in the relationship between employment and investment due to the introduction of the preferential regime for key sectors in the regions that are fully or partially included in the Russian Arctic. The relationship between investment and employment in regional industries was studied using least squares regression analysis using Advanced Grapher 2.2 software. The results show, firstly, significant differences in trends in the implementation of preferential treatment: increased economic specialization of some regions and diversification of the economies of other regions. Secondly, there is a slowdown in the emergence of new projects. Thirdly, the markedly different employment effects across industries and regions of the Russian Arctic, as well as the changing nature of the relationship between investment and employment, require a significant revision of regulatory measures and economic policies to maximize regime effects and achieve sustainable long-term regional development.

Strategic Project Management of the Socio-Ecological Development of the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation

The article analyzes the processes of project management in the implementation of social and environmental programs in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. Current regulatory and legal acts aimed at ensuring the development of the Arctic zone are considered. The problems of rational environmental management, development of territories with minimal negative impact on the state of the environment and taking into account the environmental situation in the region is identified. State programs for support and assistance to people living and working in the regions of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, aimed at economic support, development of a personnel reserve and health preservation, and environmental projects, are analyzed and presented. The priority importance of social and environmental projects to develop infrastructure, improve the quality of life of the population and preserve the primary ecosystem is noted. The use of methods for calculating environmental safety indices and urban environment quality indices of the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation when ranking the subjects of the Arctic zone made it possible to identify the most problematic areas in ensuring the quality of life, and, accordingly, priority areas for the development and implementation of strategic projects. The importance of strategic programs and projects to reduce the level of pollutants, to increase the population’s supply of high-quality drinking water in cities and to improve the quality of the urban environment is emphasized to improve the quality of life of residents of the cities of the Arctic region.

РАЗВИТИЕ ЦИРКУЛЯРНОЙ ЭКОНОМИКИ В СФЕРЕ ОБРАЩЕНИЯ С ОТХОДАМИ НА ТЕРРИТОРИИ АРКТИЧЕСКОЙ ЗОНЫ

The relevance of this study is due to the need to introduce the concept of circular economy in the economic sectors of the constituent entities of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, taking into account the increase in the total amount of household and industrial waste from business structures and the population. The circular economy is a new economic model in which secondary raw materials are involved in economic circulation, that is, the production cycle is closed, which gives economic and environmental effects. The purpose is to substantiate the feasibility of applying the concept of circular economy to improve the efficiency of waste management in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. The object of the study is the waste management based on the concept of circular economy. The subject of the study is organizational and managerial relations that arise in the process of interaction between government bodies, business structures and the population of the constituent entities of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation in the field of waste management. Research methodology: general theoretical methods of analysis, synthesis, generalization, monographic method, as well as the theory of the stakeholder approach, the concept of change management and strategic management. As a result, the authors of the study substantiated the need to develop measures to improve the efficiency of waste management in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. The concept of creating eco-technoparks is proposed as a promising tool for circular economy, for the development of which a set of organizational, managerial and regulatory measures is developed, among which the key role of state support and partnership between government authorities and business structures is highlighted.

Priority attention to the Arctic zone of Russia requires new, proactive approaches to state management of the development of the territory subjects, which should take into account not only the uniqueness and originality of the North, but also the maximum satisfaction of the population interests, including indigenous peoples, the business community and their willingness to participate in managing the territory development. The purpose is to substantiate the tools for assessing the effectiveness of public management of socio-economic development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation based on a system of balanced indicators. The object of the study is the state strategic management of the development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. The subject of the study is organizational and managerial relations that arise in the process of interaction between government bodies, business structures and the population of the constituent entities of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation in the system of strategic development of the territory. Research methodology: general theoretical methods of analysis, synthesis, generalization, monographic method, as well as the concept of a balanced scorecard, the theory of the stakeholder approach, strategic management. As a result, the authors of the study proposed a step-by-step algorithm for assessing the effectiveness of government strategic management and the potential for stakeholder loyalty. The author's approach is based on a system of balanced indicators that are translated into stakeholder maps. The principles that should be the basis for the implementation of a balanced scorecard system in the activities of public authorities are highlighted.

ОСОБЕННОСТИ РАЗВИТИЯ СИСТЕМЫ ОБЩЕГО ОБРАЗОВАНИЯ В АРКТИЧЕСКОЙ ЗОНЕ РОССИЙСКОЙ ФЕДЕРАЦИИ

The Arctic zone of the Russian Federation is one of the geostrategic territories. Access to education is one of the priority areas of the state social policy, which is determined by the Strategy for the development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation and national security for the period up to 2035. The peculiarity of the Arctic territories is the dispersed nature of population settlement and the “focal” nature of territorial development, which is caused by the uneven distribution of industrial and social infrastructure, including educational infrastructure. The Arctic zone of the Russian Federation is inhabited by representatives of small indigenous minorities of the North. The problem of accessibility of education of small indigenous minorities was inherent in different periods of time in pre-revolutionary Russia and the Soviet state. Today, the development of education for indigenous peoples living in the Arctic takes on a special meaning, where an important aspect is the form of education, namely boarding and nomadic schools and the availability of qualified personnel. The applied forms of education - boarding schools and nomadic schools - have positive and negative sides. The creation of an effective education system in the AZRF with the availability of modern modernized technical equipment is very relevant.

АРКТИЧЕСКАЯ СПЕЦИФИКА: КОНТЕНТ-АНАЛИЗ СТРАТЕГИЙ РЕГИОНОВ И МУНИЦИПАЛИТЕТОВ РОССИЙСКОЙ АРКТИКИ

One of the directions for improving planning in the Russian Arctic is to increase the degree of consideration of Arctic specifics in socio-economic development strategies (SEDS). The purpose of the study is to determine the degree of manifestation of Arctic specificity in the SEDS texts of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation (AZRF) regions and municipalities by the method of content analysis. The author’s methodology of content analysis of SEDS texts based on the list of 34 marker words is used in the study. The quantitative values of the marker words use were determined based on the analysis of the texts of 61 existing SEDSs, and the most and least used marker words were given. Among the most common are: “remoteness/distance”, “originality/uniqueness” and “Far North”. The least common ones: “frontier”, “melting ice”, “Arctic technologies”. 12 marker words from 34 research findings in more than 50% of strategies. The relationship between the occurrence of the concepts “AZRF” and “Far North” in regional and municipal strategies is considered, and the prevalence of “AZRF” in the strategies of municipalities on the border of the Arctic zone is discovered. Using the example of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, the differences between urban and regional strategies for the use of climate-related marker words are analyzed. The hypothesis about a direct connection between the volume of strategies and the reflection of Arctic specifics in them was not confirmed. Four groups of strategies have been identified depending on the indicators of the manifestation of Arctic specificity and the volume of strategy texts. Differences in the manifestation of Arctic specificity in municipal SEEDs depending on geographical location were revealed.

Digital transformation as a modern strategy for sustainable socio-economic development of the Arctic zone

Insufficient attention is paid to the development of digitalization in business processes in order to improve the economic efficiency of the regions of the Arctic zone. The relevance of the study is based on the “Digital transformation” national goal. The subject of the study is a set of economic indicators affecting the development of the Arctic zone under the conditions of digital transformation. The object of the study is the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation. The purpose of the study is the authors’ disclosure of the patterns and characteristics of digital transformation affecting the change in the socio-economic sphere and the development of recommendations aimed at changing the economic growth of the Arctic zone. The most significant results of the study are the analysis and assessment of the Arctic Zone as a special economic zone, the main elements used in the digital transformation (digital technology, population migration, education, etc.), as well as the identification of problems and promising recommendations affecting the economic growth of the Arctic Zone. The novelty of scientific research consists in recommendations that will solve problems and have an impact on economic growth in the regions included in the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation.

ИНФОРМАЦИОННЫЕ ТЕХНОЛОГИИ УПРАВЛЕНИЯ ТРАНСПОРТНЫМИ СИСТЕМАМИ В АРКТИЧЕСКОЙ ЗОНЕ РОССИЙСКОЙ ФЕДЕРАЦИИ ДЛЯ ОБЕСПЕЧЕНИЯ ПРОДОВОЛЬСТВЕННОЙ БЕЗОПАСНОСТИ

The article examines the process of managing transport systems in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation using the example of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). Due to the fact that most of the cargo volumes are delivered during the period of winter roads, motor transport is identified as the main participant in the region’s transport system. The key problems in the current cargo delivery system are reflected. The purpose of the study is to effectively manage the process of delivering goods to Arctic settlements with a complex transport and logistics scheme. Innovative solutions are presented regarding the implementation of an information and analytical system, which will improve the efficiency of northern delivery by reducing the likelihood of missed deadlines, reducing costs by optimizing the process, as well as improving the quality of management decisions made by improving the quality of information received in real time. The development of a transport and logistics system for the delivery of goods for the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation will become increasingly socially oriented as part of improving the quality of life of the local population and reducing their outflow from their places of residence.

Береговые природно-хозяйственные системы Печорско-Карского региона в контексте рисков климатических изменений

The Pechoro-Kara region occupies a special place in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation as the centre of hydrocarbon exploration, which is the main Russian export. At the same time, this is the area with the highest climate risks on the Arctic coast of Russia. The study aims to estimate the value of buildings and structures planned for construction as part of large investment projects in the coastal areas of the Pechora and Kara Seas by the mid-21st century. Regulatory documents, data from official websites and investment portals of various companies and public authorities were examined to create a database of 36 investment projects in the mining and manufacturing industries, transport scheduled to be commissioned in 2017–2050. The authors’ method analyses the time series of indicators of investment in fixed capital and new fixed assets, as well as the structure of fixed assets in the examined industries. Calculations reveal that after the construction phase of each of the projects under consideration, new fixed assets amounting to 8.2 trillion roubles are expected. These include buildings and structures of the mining industry (approximately 6.2 trillion roubles), transport (0.8 trillion roubles), manufacturing industry (0.1 trillion roubles). As an example, the obtained results were compared with the forecast of thermal abrasion and ice-gouging hazards on the coasts of the Pechora and Kara seas. The estimated value of fixed assets that will be located in areas of maximum risk is about 4 trillion roubles (in 2023 prices). This finding confirms the urgent need for early implementation of adaptation protective measures during the construction and operation of infrastructure in order to minimise potential damage.

Regulatory frameworks for sustainable entrepreneurship in the arctic: Environmental law and policy in the Russian Federation

This paper examines the legal frameworks that regulate sustainable entrepreneurship in the Arctic, with a focus on the environmental aspects under Russian Federation law. As the Arctic region faces increasing economic and environmental pressures, there is a critical need for robust legal mechanisms that support sustainable development while safeguarding ecological integrity. The study conducts a comprehensive analysis of both international agreements and national legislation, highlighting the complexities and challenges inherent in governing this geopolitically sensitive and ecologically significant area. Through a detailed examination of the Federal Law of Russian Federation on State Support for Entrepreneurship in the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation, and other pertinent legal texts, the research identifies gaps in the current legal framework. The findings underscore the urgent need for enhanced legal regulations that facilitate sustainable entrepreneurship, protect the environment, and align with international norms. The paper concludes with targeted recommendations for strengthening legal and regulatory structures to promote environmentally sustainable and economically viable development in the Arctic, contributing to the global discourse on environmental law and policy.
