РАЗРАБОТКА И АНАЛИЗ ЧАТБОТА НА ПРИМЕРЕ ГАУ РС (Я) «ЯКУТСКАЯ РЕСПУБЛИКАНСКАЯ ОФТАЛЬМОЛОГИЧЕСКАЯ КЛИНИЧЕСКАЯ БОЛЬНИЦА»

The article provides an overview of the areas of application of chatbots, as well as discusses the prospects for their use in the practice of an ophthalmic hospital. A literature review shows that the introduction of a chatbot in the State Autonomous Institution of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) “Yakut Republic’s ophthalmological clinical hospital” (YROCH) was carried out for the first time in the Russian Federation and showed the effectiveness of using modern technologies to increase the availability of information about the services provided, feedback from the medical organization. A scientific hypothesis has been proven that the use of a chatbot as a round-the-clock feedback tool in the YROCH allows you to unload the staff of the contact center of the hospital, improves the economic performance of making an appointment for an initial appointment in the direction of “Paid Services”. The research is divided into three stages. At the first stage, a sociological survey of 209 residents of the city of Yakutsk was conducted, which showed that its population is ready to use modern information technologies. The second stage was the creation of a chat bot based on the Telegram platform and testing it for a month as a feedback tool in the practice of the YROCH. This significantly relieved the work of the Contact Center for registering for paid services, satisfying the needs of patients for round-the-clock information provided. The third, experimental, stage showed significant savings in human and time resources. Although the adoption of chatbots in the healthcare industry is rather slow, their adaptability to the infrastructure of a medical organization is much faster. Interactive chatbots are playing a new role in improving the efficiency of healthcare professionals. The use of the chatbot in the YROCH had a positive impact on the work of the hospital, informing the population. Efficiency in the application of the organization of paid medical services was confirmed by an increase in economic indicators, an increase in the number of clients undergoing extrabudgetary services, and a decrease in labor costs for the operation of the hospital’s contact center.

Response of Permafrost Thermal State to Global Climatic Change in Urbanised Landscapes, Yakutsk, Russia

A study was undertaken to investigate the structure and condition of urban permafrost in the city of Yakutsk. The response of permafrost to recent climate change was assessed for a Shergin Shaft site in a cryogenic landscape. The results indicate that the thickness of the active layer which consists of anthropogenic soils experienced no change during the second half of the 20th century and the early 21st century. However, the thermal state of the underlying alluvial sediments has changed significantly in response to the warming of the climate. The permafrost temperatures at a depth of 10 m increased by about 3 °C between 1934 and 2015.

The fauna of helminths of mouse-like rodents in the city of Yakutsk and its surroundings

Studies of the helminth fauna of mouse-like rodents were carried out on the territory of the city of Yakutsk and its surroundings. Endoparasites are represented by three classes of helminths. The species composition of helminths was analyzed, and it was found that helminths of the Cestoda class dominated all representatives of micromammalia. It is known that mouse-like rodents are intermediate and reservoir hosts of many helminth species in their life cycle. The species composition of helminths, their diversity and abundance are influenced by the habitat conditions of rodents and the number of populations in the study area.

ОЦЕНКА КАЧЕСТВА ЖИЗНИ ЭВЕНКОВ ПО ОПРОСНИКУ SF–36

The study used the SF-36 questionnaire, suitable for use in the general and clinical populations, to compare health status between populations and between diseases. In the world literature, data on the quality of life of the Evenks according to the SF-36 questionnaire were not found. The quality of life of the Evenks associated with the state of health has been studied. To conduct a survey of the adult population of the village of Zhilinda, a sample representative of gender and age was formed in the amount of 150 people, of which 69 were men (46 %) and 81 were women (54 %). The average age of the surveyed women was 43.3 ± 16.6 years, men - 41.1 ± 16.4 years. Gender comparisons were made. The questionnaire contained the following sections: general information, family income, living conditions, employment, nature of work, satisfaction with medical care and a medical examination card, consisting of sections: physical activity, smoking status, consumption of alcoholic beverages, Rose questionnaire, frequency of consumption of certain foods, quality of life questionnaire. To compare the quality of life of the inhabitants of the village of Zhilinda, the base of population values of the transformed indicators of the SF-36 questionnaire from the city of Yakutsk was used. The inhabitants of Zhilinda revealed low levels of physical functioning. The following factors were associated with decreased physical functioning: female gender, increased age, college education, increased body mass index, low income, and presence of joint/spine pain. Social functioning decreased with dissatisfaction with housing, vitality with low income, general health with an increase in the number of cigarettes smoked. Evenki quality of life can be significantly improved by reducing body weight, quitting smoking, treating diseases of the musculoskeletal system, increasing income and improving living conditions.

ПАМЯТНИКООХРАННАЯ ДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТЬ В ЯКУТИИ В 1950–1960 ГГ.

The article deals with the problems and prerequisites for the formation of monument protection activities on the territory of the Yakut Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, in particular in the city of Yakutsk, in the 50–60s. 20th century The work was mainly prepared on the basis of documents from the personal fund of the doctor of historical sciences, professor, first chairman of the Yakut republican branch of the All-Russian Society for the Protection of Historical and Cultural Monuments G.P. Basharin, stored in the National Archives of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). Narrative, historical-comparative, historical-biographical methods were used in the work on this article. The activities for the protection, restoration and installation of monuments in the districts of the republic are described on the basis of a report on the activities of the republican branch of the All-Union Society for 1966–1969, the main results and difficulties in the work of local branches in the districts of the republic are given.

Functioning of emergency medical services during the COVID-19 pandemic: the case of Yakutsk city

To study the functioning of emergency medical services in the city of Yakutsk during the new coronavirus infection, a retrospective comparative analysis of main performance indicators of the Yakutsk Ambulance Service in the period 2017–2021 was conducted. It was revealed that the number of calls in Yakutsk City and its suburbs had been growing annually. However, compared to 2019, the end of 2021 saw a decreased number of total visits by 1.2.%; of efficient visits — by 1.5%; of patients having received aid — by 1.1.%. At the same time, in 2020–2021, in order to ensure timely and quality response to all the calls, the Service had to tackle a range of managerial challenges (deficit of ambulance teams, 32% incidence in doctors and assistants, difficulties with admitting the patients with pathologies other than the COVID-19).

Methods of Laboratory diagnostics of intracellular protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii in pets of the Felidae family

The main source of the spread of the invasive origin and the entry of toxoplasma oocysts into the external environment are pets - cats, infection of all types of mammals is possible. Transmission of the pathogen can occur during contact with animals, as well as when using thermally insufficiently processed meat. The main danger of toxoplasmosis is for pregnant cats (primary infection during pregnancy is associated with the risk of congenital toxoplasmosis and fetal development disorders), as well as with a pronounced decrease in immunity. In domestic pets of the feline family, pathogens of toxoplasmosis are at different stages of development, therefore oocysts can be detected by examining freshly excreted feces by the Fulleborn method or by detecting antibodies in the blood by enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) using the Immunorun Antigen Detection Kit canine Heartworm test system, manufactured by Biogal - Galed labs (Israel). The material for this work was the results of laboratory tests of blood and faecal samples from 73 pets (46 females, 27 males) aged 6 months to 10 years and one-time studies by the Fulleborn method of faecal samples from 109 different-aged pets (69 females, 40 males) examined in 2020-21 in the veterinary clinic of the city of Yakutsk due to other diseases and preventive examination.

ОСТРЫЕ КИШЕЧНЫЕ ИНФЕКЦИИ У ДЕТЕЙ В ДОПАНДЕМИЧЕСКИЙ ПЕРИОД И В ПЕРИОД ПАНДЕМИИ COVID-19 В г. ЯКУТСКЕ

Humanity has faced an infection caused by a new strain of human coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. The infection is characterized by a variety of clinical symptoms with damage not only to the respiratory tract, but also to other organs and systems. Against the background of the pandemic of a new coronavirus infection, the widespread introduction of anti-epidemic measures has led to a change in the situation with other infectious diseases. The purpose of this work was to analyze the incidence of acute intestinal infections among children in the city of Yakutsk. Acute intestinal infections (AII) refer to diseases that are transmitted by the alimentary route. In the Russian Federation, from the very beginning of the epidemic manifestations of COVID-19, a course has been taken to implement the “advanced response” strategy, in accordance with which all anti-epidemic measures have been and are being carried out. The restrictive measures introduced as part of the fight against the spread of COVID-19 have had a beneficial effect on the epidemiological situation with many other infections. Many countries have implemented social distancing as a measure to “flatten the curve” of the ongoing epidemic. The results obtained by us coincide with the data obtained in other regions during similar studies. The decrease in the number of cases of most infectious diseases is a fact common to countries where anti-epidemic measures have been taken. We analyzed data on hospitalized patients with AII in the Children’s Clinical Infectious Diseases Hospital in Yakutsk for 2018, 2019, and 2020. We identified some features of the dynamics of the incidence of acute intestinal infections in children in the pre-pandemic period and in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. The introduction of anti-epidemic measures against the background of a new coronavirus infection led to a significant decrease in the incidence of infectious diseases in general and to a significant decrease in the number of acute intestinal infections in children.

The burial Ogonyok in the middle Lena River region: a new site of the Bel'kachi Culture

The article presents the results of a comprehensive study of the Ogonyok burial, discovered and investigated in 2016 in the city of Yakutsk, Central Yakutia, in the middle reaches of the Lena River. The purpose of the study was to determine its cultural and chronological characteristics, to identify the features of the funeral rite and spe-cifics of the accompanying grave goods. In addition to historical and archaeological methods, the methods of tra-sological analysis of stone tools, radiocarbon dating and date calibration, isotope analysis of human and animal bone collagen, and determination of the species composition of the fauna that was part of the burial equipment were used. The burial place was destroyed during land works, as such, only part of the accompanying equipment and osteological material was preserved for the analyses. Excavations of the remains of the burial were carried out, which made it possible to determine approximately its orientation, the position of the deceased and the depth from the day surface. Similarities to the accompanying goods, which included a flint core and three blades, an arrowhead, polished adze, bone composite arrowhead with a blade in the groove, anthropomorphic figurine from a mammoth tusk, fragments of a bone polisher and a needle, as well as faunal remains, were found in the com-plexes of the Bel'kachi Neolithic Culture of Northeast Asia of the end of the 5th–3rd mil. BC. Further analogies were identified in the synchronous Neolithic cultures of the Baikal, Transbaikalia, Lower Amur region, Primorsky Krai and Chukotka. The funeral ritual of filling the grave with ocher also brings the Ogonyok burial closer to other Bel'kachi cemeteries. Paleozoological analysis has shown that bones of lynx, wild reindeer and geese were pre-sent in the burial. Four AMS radiocarbon dates were obtained from human and animal bones, which attribute the burial in the first quarter of the 4th mil. BC. An interesting fact was the identification of an offset in the age of hu-man bones relatively to the age of animal bones, the former being approximately 200 years older, which is appa-rently associated with freshwater reservoir effect. Analysis of stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes demonstrated that the human diet was based on meat food, as well as, apparently, fish products, with a minor inclusion of wild plants. The burial of Ogonyok is one of the few “pure” sites of the Bel'kachi Neolithic Culture in Yakutia.

Mining Industry of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and Problems of Environmental and Social Security of Indigenous Peoples

The Republic of Sakha (Yakutia; RS(Y)) is located in the northeast of Siberia (Russia) in the basins of the Lena, Yana, and Indigirka rivers, in the lower reaches of the Kolyma River. Yakutia is an industrial–agrarian republic with a developed mining, fuel, and energy industry. Indigenous peoples live mainly in the Arctic regions, where the large-scale development of mineral resources is planned, and South Yakutia, where the mining industry is well developed. The aim of this study is the development of methodological approaches to assessing the impact of the mining industry on the natural environment and the social sphere in the places of residence and traditional economic activities of the indigenous peoples of the North. We used the results of research work (R&D), materials of expeditionary work, and regulatory documents of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and the Russian Federation (RF). The state of the environment (ES) was assessed on the basis of the analysis of indicators for three areas: (a) anthropogenic load, (b) environmental and social consequences, and (c) resistance of natural complexes to technogenic impacts. In total, 22 indicators were used for the 3 areas, for example, population density, person/km2; the volume of extraction of rock mass, million m3; and emissions, t/year. To bring dissimilar indicators into comparable ones, we used a methodological approach with the use of the social risk index (SRI). In Arctic regions (mainly agricultural), the ES is in a favorable and relatively favorable state: SRI 0.61–0.70; in the central regions (mainly agricultural), it is satisfactory and relatively satisfactory: SRI 0.71–1.0; in the southern and western regions with a developed mining industry, it is relatively tense and tense: SRI 1.01–3.0. An extremely tense state of environmental conditions has developed in the city of Yakutsk: SRI ≥ 3. Generally, the deterioration of the environmental situation and vital activity of the indigenous peoples in investigated Arctic region correlated with the impact of the mining industry.

Оценка обеспеченности транспортной сетью районов Республики Саха (Якутия)

The article assesses the provision of the municipal districts of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) with a transport network. The importance of developing a backbone transport network on the territory of the Republic is noted. An assessment of transport provision was carried out at the level of municipalities (districts) using official statistics. As the main research method, a retrospective statistical analysis of the indicators of the development of the road network and the availability of it to the regions of the Republic was chosen: the length and density of public roads, coefficients for assessing the level of provision with the road network and transport. The Engel, Goltz, Uspensky coefficients as well as the indicator of the density of the road network were used as key indicators. With the use of this methodology, a quantitative assessment of the transport provision of the regions of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) was made. Based on the assessment and thematic maps created, territorial differences in the transport provision of the Republic were identified, and a typology was carried out at the municipal level. Six types of transport provision have been identified. The obtained results allowed us for following conclusions: the highest indicator of the provision of a transport network is characteristic of the territory of the city of Yakutsk, as it is the center of development of the region located at the intersection of the main transport highways and the center in the formation of the all-season supporting transport network of the Republic. The ranking of the territory, taking into account all coefficients, showed that the highest level of transport provision of the population will be characteristic of areas with industrial development and a well-developed road network. The average level is typical for most areas with year-round regional roads and winter roads. 60 % of the territory of the Republic has a level of provision with a transport network “below average” and “low”. The low level of transport security is typical for Arctic regions with a network of winter roads that do not have year-round regional roads.

Thermal regime variability of islands in the Lena River near Yakutsk, eastern Siberia

AbstractRecent evidence has shown that Arctic regions have warmed about twice as much as elsewhere on the planet over the last few decades, and that high‐latitude permafrost–periglacial processes and hydrological systems are notably responsive to rising temperatures. The aim of this paper is to report on the thermal regime of islands located along the Lena River floodplain, upstream of the city of Yakutsk (eastern Siberia). Four islands were monitored using waterproof dataloggers and continuous monitoring of frozen soil in contact with ice breakup of the Lena River. For each of these islands, we measured: (a) ground surface temperature, air and frozen soil temperatures at different depths; and (b) submersion duration during the flood. Our results show that within a zone of thick and continuous permafrost, the Lena floodplain is notably heterogeneous, with a combination of permanently and seasonally frozen islands. The ice breakups seem to have a negligible impact on the ground thermal regime. Our study confirms that relatively young (<30 years old) islands, composed of fine sand material, appear less prone to permafrost formation compared to older islands with ice‐rich silty material.

Modeling of Seasonal Variations of Thermal Energy Production by an Electric Power Company based on Neural Network Technology

The paper considers the problem of modeling the dependence of the value of thermal energy production by an electric power company on the air temperature using neural network technology. As an example of an electric power company producing thermal energy, the Public Joint-Stock Company (PJSC) Yakutskenergo. As consumers of thermal energy, organizations, enterprises and the population of the city of Yakutsk, are located at latitude 62 and characterized by a cold northern climate. The numerical experiments carried out in this paper have shown that the general trend of the temperature dependence of thermal energy production, observed empirically, is well described by a neural network

Проявление речевой агрессии в интернет-комментариях (на примере форума «Кому за...», входящего в состав портала “Ykt.Ru”)

The study aims to shed light on the features of verbal aggression manifestation on social networks of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). As a part of the study, Internet comments on one of the topics posted on the message board “For People Over…” of the portal “Ykt.Ru” were analysed. The topic of discussion was the main political event in the life of the capital of the Republic, i.e. the early election of the head of the “City of Yakutsk” municipality in March 2021. Scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that it is the first time that the linguistic means and ways of expressing verbal aggression on social networks of the main Yakut Internet resource have become an object of research. The message board “For People Over…” of the portal “Ykt.Ru” has not been previously subjected to such a consideration. The study makes a certain contribution to the development of the theoretical basis for linguistic analysis of conflict Internet texts. The attained results showed that message board users, while discussing specific personalities, namely public people, and expressing their attitude to the situation in the comments, use negative evaluative vocabulary, direct insults, abusive language (invective), stylistically substandard (colloquial, vernacular) vocabulary, impolite form of address, sarcasm, etc.

Crop wild relative materials from field research in the Yakutsk vicinity in 2020

The N.I. Vavilov All-Russian Institute of Plant Genetic Resources (VIR) is working on replenishing seed and herbarium collections of cultivated plants and their wild relatives through collection missions in various regions of Russia. The collections are replenished with both live specimens (plantlets, runners, cuttings, bulbs, seeds, etc.), and with herbarium specimens of crop wild relatives (CWR). The Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is characterized by a variety of natural conditions and resources, while many territories are difficult to reach by transport. Collection missions were carried out by VIR in the territory of Yakutia from 1972 to 1990. Field research in the territory of the republic is relevant to this day.In 2020, field research in the area of the projected bridge crossing over the Lena River near the city of Yakutsk resulted in collecting 18 samples of wild relatives of fruit, vegetable, essential oil, oil and fiber, forage legume, and cereals crops (live plants and seeds), as well as 45 CWR herbarium specimens. CWR (species of currants, onions, horseradish, water sorrel, tarragon wormwood, etc.) were found in floodplain habitats and on river banks, some were collected in ruderal biotopes, near settlements, less often in forest phytocenoses, and on steppe meadow slopes. All the samples were included in VIR collections. The phytocenoses from which CWR were collected, were comprehensively described.

Results of Surgical Ttreatment of Patients With Cerebral Aneurysms in the Acute Period of Hemorrhage Transported Over a Considerable Distance

Relevance. To provide emergency specialized neurosurgical care to patients living in rural areas, medical evacuation to a neurosurgical hospital is required. Despite the fact that medical evacuation is a necessary stage of medical care, there are not enough studies on the impact of transportation of patients with a ruptured cerebral aneurysm over long distances. There is little information about the time intervals for transportation, the timing of the start of treatment and the outcomes of the disease in patients who are at a considerable distance from the neurosurgical hospital.Aim of the study. To analyze the impact on the extensive results of surgical treatment of patients with cerebral aneurysm rupture.Material and methods. A retrospective analysis of the results of surgical treatment of 145 patients with cerebral aneurysm rupture in the acute period of hemorrhage, hospitalized in the regional vascular center of the State Budgetary Institution of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) “Republican Hospital No. 2 — Center for Emergency Medical Aid” in the period from 01.01.2017 to 31.12.2018. Patients were divided into two groups: Group I — patients from remote areas of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) who underwent medical evacuation by the Disaster Medicine Service of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia); Group II — hospitalized from the territory of the city of Yakutsk and its nearest suburbs.Results. 145 patients were hospitalized at the regional vascular center in Yakutsk. Sanaviation (Sanitary Aviation) delivered 91 patients from the districts of the republic to the regional vascular center (62.8% of the total number of patients) (Group I), 54 patients (37.2%) were hospitalized from the territory of the urban district of Yakutsk (Group II). The distance of transportation by ambulance aircraft in Group I ranged from 45 to 1330 kilometers. Deterioration from admission to the local medical organization to admission to the regional vascular center was noted in 8 patients (8.8%), improvement in the condition in 25 (27.5%) patients, there were no dynamics of changes in the state of 58 (63.7%) patients. The total number of deaths in two groups of patients was 11 (12.1%) patients. Postoperative mortality had no statistically significant differences between the two study groups: in Group I — 7.7% (7 patients), in Group II — 7.4% (4 observations) (p=1,000).Conclusions. With an established system of medical evacuation, transportation over a considerable distance does not worsen the course of the disease and the results of surgical treatment of patients with cerebral aneurysm ruptures in the acute period of hemorrhage.

Change in Fuel Consumption of a Hybrid Vehicle When Operating in the Far North

This paper studies the effect of extremely low outdoor temperatures (−40...−50 °C) on the increase in fuel consumption of a passenger car with a hybrid powertrain when operating in the far north regions. The experiment was carried out in the climatic conditions of the far north ern territory of the city of Yakutsk, Russia (Russian Federation). At the first stage of the experiment, data on fuel consumption of a hybrid vehicle in the summer season at an outdoor temperature in the range of +20...+30 °C were obtained. At the second stage of the experiment, data on fuel consumption of a hybrid vehicle in the winter season at extremely low outdoor temperatures in the range of −40...−50 °C were obtained. As a result, by comparing the fuel consumption data obtained in the first and second stages of the experiment, data on the effect of extremely low outdoor temperatures on fuel consumption of a hybrid vehicle were obtained. The obtained data may be of interest to manufacturers of hybrid vehicles, as well as to consumers of their products, including taxi services and individual car owners living (working) in the northern regions of the planet.

Distinctive Features of Human Adaptation to the Environment of the Arctic Zone of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)

The paper gives a medico-geographical analysis of various Arctic and sub-Arctic regions of Yakutia, namely, the city of Yakutsk, the town of Nam of Namsky District and the rural town of Tiksi of Bulunsky District. A new methodological approach and methods are suggested for assessing the adaptation process of residents of Russia’s Eastern Arctic using the medico-ecological screening of the population. This procedure found the general adaptation syndrome among the residents of Yakutia’s sub-Arctic and Arctic areas. A survey was used to investigate the impacts of different environmental factors on adaptation indicators among various groups residing in some of Yakutia’s districts. Adaptation parameters were defined among indigenous and non-indigenous groups living in various Arctic areas in terms of extreme environmental conditions affecting human adaptation to changing environments.

Перспективы цифровизации муниципальных услуг в городском округе «Город Якутск» Республики Саха (Якутия)

Электронное правительство является важной составляющей современного информационного общества. В мировой практике еще не сложились общепринятые правила и методики построения этой модели, каждая страна выбирает свой путь. В Российской Федерации построение модели электронного правительства началось с формулировки определения понятия «государственная (муниципальная) услуга», которое впервые было сформулировано в Федеральном законе ФЗ-210 «Об организации предоставления государственных и муниципальных услуг» 2010 г. С тех пор наша страна сделала существенный рывок в цифровизации деятельности органов исполнительной власти и местного самоуправления. В статье анализируются основные принципы перехода нашей страны к электронному правительству, основанные на построении единых правил межведомственного электронного взаимодействия, системы идентификации и аутентификации, деятельности всероссийского портала государственных и муниципальных услуг, основной упор сделан на анализе цифровизации муниципальных услуг. Рассмотрены текущие приоритеты цифровизации сферы государственного и муниципального управления, этапы перевода муниципальных услуг в электронный формат. Республика Саха (Якутия) – крупнейший субъект Российской Федерации, столицей которого является город Якутск. В силу территориальных и климатических особенностей в регионе существует проблема построения информационно-коммуникационной инфраструктуры. Тем не менее, столица Якутии обладает определенным опытом электронного взаимодействия государства, бизнеса и власти. Основная часть исследования рассматривает деятельность окружной администрации городского округа «город Якутск» по направлению к цифровой экономике. Сделаны выводы о достаточном уровне перевода муниципальных услуг в электронный формат, системного перехода деятельности органов местного самоуправления к переходу к модели цифрового муниципалитета. E-government is an important component of the modern information society. The international community have not developed generally accepted rules and methods of building this model yet, with each country choosing its own path. In the Russian Federation, the construction of an e-government model began with the formulation of the definition of the concept of “state (municipal) service”, which was first formulated in the Federal Law FZ-210 “On the organization of the provision of state and municipal services” in 2010. Since then, our country has made a significant breakthrough in the digitalization of the activities of executive authorities and local governments. The article analyzes the basic principles of our country’s transition to electronic government, based on the construction of uniform rules for interdepartmental electronic interaction, the identification and authentication system, the activities of the All-Russian portal of state and municipal services, the main focus is on the analysis of the digitalization of municipal services. The current priorities of the digitalization of the sphere of state and municipal administration, the stages of transferring municipal services to an electronic format are considered. The Sakha Republic (Yakutia) is the largest constituent entity of the Russian Federation, with the city of Yakutsk being its capital. Due to the territorial and climatic features in the region, there is a problem of building an information and communication infrastructure. Nevertheless, the capital of Yakutia has some experience of electronic interaction between the state, business and government. The main part of the study examines the activities of the District Administration of the urban district “City of Yakutsk” towards the digital economy. Conclusions are made about the sufficient level of the transfer of municipal services to the electronic format, systemic transition of the activities of local governments to the transition to the digital municipality model.

Serological Evidence of Hepatitis E Virus Circulation Among Reindeer and Reindeer Herders.

Various deer species are infected with hepatitis E virus (HEV) and may be a source of zoonotic infection for humans. So far, HEV has not been isolated from reindeer and the role of this domesticated deer species in HEV transmission is unknown. We tested serum samples from 191 reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) and 86 adult reindeer herders from the circumpolar regions of Yakutia (Russian Federation) for anti-HEV and HEV RNA. Anti-HEV IgG prevalence was 12.0% (95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 8.1-17.5) in reindeer and 4.7% (95% CI: 1.5-11.7) in reindeer herders. The latter was similar to the positivity rate observed in adult residents of the city of Yakutsk, the capital of Yakutia, who do not have routine contact with reindeer (3.7% [19/519, 95% CI: 2.3-5.7]). No samples positive for HEV RNA were identified. The study provides evidence of HEV circulation in reindeer. Nevertheless, the low seroprevalence in reindeer herders indicate a low risk of zoonotic HEV infection.
