Peculiarities of Reproduction of “Pinus nigra” Arn. in Ukraine

The article analyzes the peculiarities of black pine reproduction and identifies the most promising methods of propagation for the territory of Vinnytsia city (Ukraine). Having analyzed the germination capacity of the black pine seed material, we found that the percentage of seed germination ranged from 38% (courtyards) to 70% (“Podillya” botanical garden). Examining the duration of black pine seedlings emergence, we found that in almost all objects of the city the largest number of seedlings were established on the 7th day (about 35 pcs.), then the process declined, and the smallest number appeared on the 13th day (about 5-7 pcs.). Studying the black pine propagation by cuttings, we found that when fed with two different rooting stimulants, the best result was obtained with the application of Korenevin (48 pieces), and a slightly lower acceptance rate was demonstrated with the use of Epine (about 34 pieces).

Application of the permutation method to the assessment of predictive ability of the models of spatial distribution of copper and iron concentrations in the topsoil

The article proposes the use of the permutation method for assessment of the predictive ability of models based on artificial neural networks. To test this method, three models based on artificial neural networks were implemented: a multilayer perceptron, a radial basis function network, and a generalized regression neural network. For modeling, data on the spatial distribution of copper and iron in the topsoil (depth 0.05 m) on the territory of the subarctic city of Noyabrsk, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Russia, were used. A total of 237 soil samples were collected. For modelling, the copper and iron concentration data were divided into two subsets: training and test. The modelled spatial datasets were compared with the observed values of the test subset. To assess the performance of the constructed models, three approaches were used: 1) calculation of correlation coefficients, error or agreement indexes, 2) graphical approach (Taylor diagram), 3) randomization assessment of the probability of obtaining a divergence between the observed and modelled datasets, assuming that both of these datasets taken from the same population. For the randomization algorithm, two statistics were used: difference in means and correlation coefficient. The permutation method proved its productivity, as it allowed to assess the significance of the divergence between the observed and predicted datasets.

GEOINFORMATION SYSTEMS BASED ON CARTOGRAPHIC AND GEODESIC SURVEYS FOR PLANNING INVESTMENT PROCESSES IN CITIES

The use of GIS (Geographic Information System) systems to administration investment in cities is becoming increasingly popular. Modern technologies allow the use of GIS system based on geodetic surveys of the same area, over time, with the introduction of characteristically attributive information. The obtained data can characterize both the most up-to-date spatial information and be used in the process of territory analysis. Thus, the same map can be used by users of different fields of activity, for example, to characterize the investment attractiveness of cities administration in connection with relevant, specialized information about the territory of cities. Making investments in cities often requires cooperation between different institutions, offices and other structures. To do this, it is possible to create electronic systems that can be implemented through electronic channels. This concept is called the Regional Business Spatial System. GIS tools can be considered as an integrating element between the subjects of the environment. GIS tools can be an element that integrates the environment in which investments are made. Not only existing objects can be marked on joint maps, but also implemented, planned or even postulated projects thanks to up-to-date geodetic survey materials. The aim of the work is a conceptual analysis conducted to determine whether at a certain stage the use of GIS technologies in cities can serve as a platform conducive to the creation of regional electronic systems to promote investment in the city, based on current geodetic and cartographic data.

QUICK-ASSEMBLED BUILDINGS – A NEW WAY OF ORGANIZING ENERGY EFFICIENT ECOLOGICAL SETTLEMENTS FOR REFUGEES

On the 24th of February, 2022, a hostile invasion of the Russian army began on the territory of our country, along the entire length of the common border, from Luhansk to Chernihiv, as well as from the territory of Belarus and the occupied Crimea. The Russian occupiers are destroying our cities terribly and heartlessly. The occupiers continue their attacks, but they are unable to overcome the strong-minded Ukrainians, courageous soldiers - the Armed Forces, who are defending their land. The city of Kharkiv, which was the first capital of Ukraine, was awarded the honorary title of the city of Heroes, due to persistent resistance to the predatory bombing of military and industrial facilities, educational institutions, health care facilities, as well as civilian and residential facilities. As a result, the rapid evacuation of the city's population to more remote cities in Ukraine or abroad began. Peaceful people were forced to leave and leave their homes for safety, taking only essentials. But, unfortunately, the territories of most Ukrainian cities to which people were evacuated are overcrowded and do not have the necessary number of residential buildings that would provide comfortable conditions for temporary shelter for internally displaced persons. Therefore, this article aims to solve the global problem of today, namely, the creation of comfortable living conditions through new urban planning entities - energy-efficient ecological settlements for refugees. This settlement should provide the most rational organization of space, be compact, energy efficient, adapted to the selected area and fast in implementation, thanks to innovative technologies - prefabricated buildings. The aim of this study is to identify optimal ways to organize energy-efficient ecological settlements for refugees by building compact types of buildings that are energy efficient and quick to implement. Based on this goal, various types of compact buildings that are energy efficient and fast to implement, features of design solutions for residential buildings that are environmentally friendly and energy efficient and three-dimensional solutions for the organization of energy efficient environmental settlements for refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs).

Changes in urban soil yeast communities after a reduction in household waste during the COVID-19 pandemic

The soils of streets, urban parks and suburban areas were examined for yeasts in the summer of 2020 on the territory of the southern cities of Russia and the Republic of Crimea: Krasnodar, Maykop, Sochi and Simferopol. The results of this study are compared with the results of a previous study carried out in these cities in 2019. This study was conducted three months after the lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to a sustained decline in household waste deposition in these areas. The number of tourists visiting these southern cities decreased significantly, and the number of walkers and visitors to urban parks fell sharply. In 2020, after the decline of household waste loads, the yeast abundance was slightly but reliably higher than in 2019. A total of 30 yeast species were observed - 11 ascomycetes and 19 basidiomycetes. This was more than in 2019 and was caused by twice as many autochthonous basidiomycetous yeast species (natural core community), which were found in urban soils only after the reduction in household waste in the environment - Apiotrichum dulcitum, A. laibachii, Saitozyma podzolica Solicoccozyma terricola. And at the same time, the proportion of clinically significant (opportunistic) yeasts, Candida sake and Meyerozyma guilliermondii, was much lower in 2020 than in 2019. Thus, the observed changes in yeast communities in urban soils could be a short-time response of the microbial community to a reduction in household waste.

Ustanowienie świętego patrona miast, gmin, powiatów i województw

The subject of this article is the procedure for selecting a saint of the Roman Catholic Church patron saint for the city, municipality or wider territory. The establishment of a patron saint is within the competence of the confessional authority, in particular, the bishop and the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sac-raments. The procedure consists of three stages: the election, acknowledgement and affirmation of the patron saint. The church’s current regulations regarding the election of patron saints are contained in two documents of the Holy See. The municipal council, the poviat council and the assembly of the province pass a res-olution on the patron at the stage of his election by the society and the clergy. The above-mentioned authorities do not take part in the next two stages. Entities of territorial self-government only have a supporting vote. They cannot independently establish a patron saint, regardless of the decisions of the ecclesiastical authorities. The position of administrative courts that the resolutions of the constitutive au-thorities of entities of territorial self-government belong to the category of public administration matters is unjustified. The decree of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments is addressed to a given diocese and not to local self-government authorities. The patron saint is established for a city, mu-nicipality, poviat, or for an area that does not have administrative borders. Entities of territorial self-government must respect the autonomy of the church authorities, and public authorities should be impartial in religious matters. Therefore, entities of territorial self-government do not have the competence to establish a patron saint for the promotion of a municipality, district or self-government of the voivodship. However, they can refer to saint persons at the symbolic level, for example, in the coat of arms or the names of streets and squares. This also applies to schools and hospitals run by local self-government authorities.

TRENDS OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT OF COASTAL TERRITORIES OF LARGE CITIES

Modern tendencies in architectural and landscape design of coastal territories of large and significant cities of the world are considered. The functional zoning of coastal areas of large cities in historical development is analyzed. The basic principles of revitalization of coastal areas in the formation of new watersheds are outlined. The directions of the planning organization of building of coastal territories of cities are established. For each city located near water bodies, the connection with them determined the historical development of the city, structure and architectural appearance, cultural traditions and way of life, typology and status of urban spaces. Today the problems of ecology, quality of the urban environment, optimization of infrastructure, balanced development of territories come to the fore. The study of the functional and planning structure of the coast of major cities of the world has identified the main urban features of coastal development. On the examples of implemented design solutions, an analysis of the volumetric and functional solution of the studied territories was carried out. Traced modern architectural trends, the latest trends in the world of innovative building technologies used in the reconstruction, revitalization and construction of embankments. As the analysis of world practice shows, today the urban type of coastal territories as a whole dominates. This is due to the loss in the process of urban development of the natural properties of the landscape in its natural state, and the need to take into account a number of factors of the architectural environment. Some facilities are places of mass use and their uneven placement in the coastal area is the cause of seasonal traffic and pedestrian traffic. Some principles are formed at the conclusion.

Neue Inschriften aus Bilecik 1

This article primarily introduces new inscriptions found in Bilecik province, most of which are preserved today in Bilecik Museum, although, some inscriptions remain in the field. The remaining inscriptions in the museum are to be published in another article in the next issue of this journal, which we are preparing as the continuation of this article.Bilecik Museum, the foundation of which began in 2005 and which was officially opened in 2010, is one of Turkey’s new museums. Due to the large number of stone artifacts found in the area, a museum was needed to preserve and display them. Most of the works in the Bilecik Museum are a collection compiled from the towns and villages of Bilecik. However, during the foundation of the museum, artifacts were also brought to it from the surrounding museums such as Kütahya and Afyon. However, some of them do not belong culturally to the Bilecik region, see. e.g. here no. 1, 7, 23-27. We also recorded inscriptions in a small museum in Söğüt, a town of Bilecik, in the Söğüt Museum at that time, and we are now publishing them here in this paper, as these stones were later transported from Söğüt to the Bilecik Museum. Today, the region belonging to the province of Bilecik was largely within the territory of the ancient city of Nikaia. The inscriptions of Nikaia and its surroundings were published by the late Prof. Dr. Sencer Şahin (I.Nikaia) between 1978-1987 in 5 volumes. During the foundation of the Bilecik Museum in 2005, the museum administration at that time consulted with Prof. Sencer Şahin in order that he could transcribe and translate the many inscriptions into Turkish. Sencer Şahin commissioned me (N. Eda Akyürek Şahin) with examining these inscriptions and translating them into Turkish. For this purpose, many artefacts, both those brought to the museum and those that were still in the field and recorded by the museum authorities, were transcribed and studied by me and their translations were provided to the museum. Later, for a few years (e.g. 2010-2011, 2013), I conducted epigraphic research in the Bilecik Museum with the permission of the Ministry of Culture and the museum directorate, including field research in the region under the permission and supervision of the museum authorities. This because at that time it was understood that these artefacts were going to be transported from the field to the museum, but unfortunately most of them remained in the field.Bilecik is very rich in terms of its inscriptions. The general character of the region was rural and consisted of villages and farms. However, the density of the finds shows that this region was densely populated at that time. It is seen that the inscriptions are mainly divided into two groups, votive inscriptions and funerary inscriptions. The names of many gods are mentioned in the inscriptions. The artifacts are typologically in the form of prism-shaped altars or stelae with pediments. While altars are mostly preferred as votive stones, we see the stele are usually tombstones. Apart from these, there are also inscribed tombstones in the form of an architrave (see no. 41-42). At that time these architraves probably stood on great altars. Numerous personal names are documented in the inscriptions. All of the inscriptions belong to the Roman Imperial Period. There are quite a few inscriptions containing the surname Aurelius. Artifacts without inscriptions or whose inscriptions are not visible today are also included in this article in order to be known in the scientific world (nos. 61-78). In addition, photographs of previously published artifacts that are currently preserved in the museum (including the 3 altars standing today in the garden of the Bilecik Gendarmerie) have been added to the end of the article. These inscriptions were previously in the field and most of them were first published by Sencer Şahin.

Zarozhdenie i formirovanie vzaimodejstviya mezhdu turizmom, kul'turnym naslediem i razvitiem territorij: istoricheskij opyt Kitaya

This publication examines four periods of development of tourism and travel in China: the period of ancient wanderings of the first travelers and three successive periods of China’s development, namely 1949-1978, 1978 - end of the 20th century and 21st century to the present, in the context of the formation of the interaction between tourism, conservation heritage and infrastructural development of the territories of cities and places. The purpose of the study is to try to uncover this connection over a number of historical periods and justify the need for joint promotion of cultural heritage, tourism and territorial development. At the same time, special attention is paid to the research question: how the political and socio-economic context affects the theory and practice of tourism development and what is the role of tourism in the process of preserving cultural heritage and developing the infrastructure of the territories.

The Influence of Information Technology and Task Complexity on Employee Performance

: This review plans to decide the impact of data innovation and assignment intricacy on representative execution at the Makassar City Territorial Resource Monetary Administration Office. Information assortment in this review was led utilizing a poll with a purposive inspecting strategy.

Just as data innovation and assignment intricacy all the while positively affect worker execution at the Provincial Resource Monetary Administration Office

THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF MODELING THE DISPERSION OF POLLUTANTS IN THE ATMOSPHERE

The paper analyzes the methods and models of the state of the environment and found that due to the versatility and diversity of approaches in building a unified classification of atmospheric models is a difficult task. It is determined that the Lagrange model calculates the dispersion of air pollution by calculating a continuous plume trajectory and this method can be used to calculate the profiles of ozone scattering in the surrounding area from a point source. To determine the level of purity, use fuzzy logic, then the concept of "level of purity" will become a linguistic variable. The Gaussian model makes it possible to calculate the concentration of pollutants in the simulation area in a straight line between the source and the calculation point for each hour and obtain a model of pollution by emissions at the main city territory.
 Statistical models are a useful tool for diagnosing and predicting air quality through the interpolation and extrapolation of measured data. We plan to use elements of urban canyon models to predict emission concentrations on highways over short time intervals (from several hours to days). The NO-NO2-O3 reaction requires very high nitric oxide concentrations and long residence times for the gases to have a significant effect. This can take place under stagnant weather conditions, when significant concentrations of pollutants are observed for several days. However, there are no models that satisfactorily describe this phenomenon.

Urban zoning features of territories for tourist services facilities placement in coastal cities

Introduction. The article deals with the development of coastal territories of cities with the city-forming function of tourism. The tourism industry is currently viewed as a promising area of economic development for many countries and cities. Resort tourism or health tourism is actively developing in Turkey, Thailand, Egypt, Vietnam and other countries, with an emphasis on a high level of service for hotel complexes that occupy large areas of coastal territories, which leads to conflicts of interest for the local population, investors and tourists. The solution to these conflicts can be obtained by methods of urban zoning.
 
 Materials and methods. On the basis of a systematic approach, in which the city is considered as a social-natural-anthropogenic system, the main contradictions that arise when placing tourist facilities in the structure of the city and the features of the town-planning zoning of these territories are identified. The article uses data from open sources, the general plan of Tuy Hoa, as an analog object of coastal cities of the south-central coast of Vietnam.
 
 Results. It is shown that the main critical factor in the placement of tourist accommodation facilities is the availability of beach areas, which serve as the main point of attraction. In this case, the comfortable distance should not exceed 1000 m. One of the planning techniques aimed at resolving conflicts can be the formation of urbanized locations — resort functional zones (KFZ), specially designed for the placement of tourist service facilities, including various forms of tourist accommodation. Proposals (schematic diagrams) for urban zoning of the central part of the city have been developed, ensuring the availability of city beaches; the formation of a street network of KFZ, based on the principle of pedestrian accessibility of the beach, as well as the formation of a planning scheme of the KFZ territory, providing for the provision of a protective zone.
 
 Conclusions. Urban zoning of the resort city’ territory should be carried out taking into account the peculiarities that are due to the tourism industry; for the mass accommodation of tourists, local zones should be envisaged, which will ensure a balance between the development of tourism and the preservation of the residential and public environment, the accessibility to the beach; the formation of a protective strip along the coastline will create a comfortable public recreational space for tourists and residents with the aim of stable and sustainable development in the future.

Multi-millennial human impacts and climate change during the Maya early Anthropocene: implications on hydro-sedimentary dynamics and socio-environmental trajectories (Naachtun, Guatemala)

During the Maya early Anthropocene (2000 BCE – 1000 CE) in Mesoamerica, socio-environmental interactions contributed to the rise and decline of the ancient Maya civilisation. At the scale of the exploitation territories of the Maya cities, the temporal variations of hydrological and sedimentary dynamics in response to anthropogenic and climate drivers are still poorly known. This constrains diachronic analyses of socio-ecosystems and, more particularly, of water and soil resources in the hinterlands. This manuscript analyses and presents a regional comparison of the dynamics of one of the most transformed hydrosystems and morpho-sedimentary systems by the societies of the Southern Maya Lowlands (SMLs), during the second half of the Holocene. It focuses on the lake basin of the polje named El Infierno bajo and its watershed, which was the main water storage area for the Maya city of Naachtun – a large regional capital between 150 and 950 CE –, and which contains many remains of hydraulic and agrarian structures. This integrated palaeolimnological, geoarchaeological and hydrological approach, based on the analyses of morpho-sedimentary archives, LiDAR altimetry data and hydrological data, resulted in the construction of hydro-sedimentary baselines (pre- syn- and post-ancient Maya anthropogenic impacts). Currently, the intermittent lake (civale) of this bajo responds to strong seasonal and interannual hydrological variabilities, under climate control. During the past 5500 years, hydro-sedimentary fluctuations were marked by the alternation of seven main hydrological periods (HP), characterised by high and low lake levels (alternately perennial, intermittent and dry lake) and six main erosion and sediment transfer periods (ESTP), marked by strong and low alluvial and colluvial detrital inputs in the lowlands. Anthropogenic and climate forcings have independently or jointly controlled the hydrologic and sedimentary budgets of the lake basin. Lithofacies, depositional processes, accumulation rates and drivers of the anthropogenic detrital inputs – the so-called “Maya clays” –, are analysed and quantified from ∼1500 BCE to ∼1150 CE. It thus reveals one of the longest periods of occupation and exploitation of natural resources of the SMLs, for over 2500 years during the Preclassic, Classic and Post-classic Maya periods. The hydro-sedimentary dynamics in the bajos of the SMLs Elevated Interior Region (EIR), such as El Infierno, enabled the long-term exploitation of water and soil resources for agrarian purposes, thanks to the construction of hydraulic and agrarian palimpsest landscapes shaped by the socio-ecosystems.

Cytogenetic monitoring as a method of integrated assessment of urbanized territories of Rivne city, analysis of the state of the problem

Summary. Among the cities of Ukraine, in terms of population and parametric characteristics of man-made impact on urban ecosystems, the city of Rivne stands out. Excesses of various mutagens are regularly recorded in its atmospheric air. In view of this, there is a need to control the processes of air pollution in the city, study the nature of mutagenic substances, prevent the growth of man-made pollution, and find means and methods to protect living organisms from mutagenic effects. The aim of the study – to conduct a bioindication of the urban ecosystem of Rivne on the indicators of cytogenetic monitoring. Materials and Methods. To assess the environmental situation against the general mutagenic background, we used a rapid screening method – micronucleus test (MN test). To detect cells with micronuclei, smears were taken from the oral mucosa of 167 preschool children (6–7 years old) living on 12 test sites. Sampling was performed under sterile conditions, from the right, left cheek and lower lip. Analysis of the prepared cells was performed using a microscope. 64950 epithelial cells of the mucous membrane were studied. Results. According to ecological maps, the territory of the city, which is within III, IV, IX, X, and XII test sites, has a "low" level of genetic damage, which determines the "reference" ecological situation on a mutagenic background. Such characteristics allow us to assess the state of the urban ecosystem in this area of ​​the city as "favorable". However, the analysis of the situation on some test sites allows us to note that the northeastern (III and IV test sites) and the south-eastern (XII test site) parts of the city have slightly higher rates of genetic damage compared to the south-western (IX and X test sites) part. The rest of the test sites have a "below average" level of genetic damage, which causes a "satisfactory" environmental situation with a mutagenic background and an "alarming" state of the urban ecosystem. At the same time, the highest values ​​of the MN test of epitheliocytes of preschool children are characteristic of the north-western (I test site) and south-eastern. The obtained dependence and high coefficient of determination (0.35) indicate a significant relationship between the MN index and pollen sterility of indicator plants, which were performed on similar 12 test sites. Nevertheless, it should be noted that the vulnerability of pollen grains of bioindicator plants was significantly higher (in terms of damage) compared to the MN index, which is explained by the higher resistance to environmental factors of children compared to pollen grains of indicator plants. Conclusions. Analysis of research results indicates that the urban ecosystem of Rivne is at a level "below ave­rage" of genetic damage, "alarming" in the state of the biosystem, and "satisfactory" in the mutagenic background

МЕТОДИЧЕСКИЕ ПОДХОДЫ РАЗВИТИЯ ТУРИЗМА НА ПРИНЦИПАХ УСТОЙЧИВОГО РАЗВИТИЯ

The paper presents the increasing role of the tourism business in the state's economic development, including the countries and cities of the Asia-Pacific region. These regions have favorable natural conditions for developing coastal tourist resorts. In addition, the article also demonstrates the impact of the pandemic on tourism activities around the world. The factors of the tourism industry's negative impact on the natural complex have been identified. It is especially evident in the coastal zone, experiencing a significant anthropogenic load and must be considered when placing tourism-related objects in the city's planning structure. The basic principles (sufficiency of resources, limited resources, infrastructural integrity and maintenance of the natural system's ecological balance) are formulated, which serve as the foundation for developing a model of the coastal city territory's urban planning balance with a focus on the tourism industry. The proposed model is based on considering the features of the spatial development of coastal city regions, focused on the tourism business. Based on the formulated model, the potential's assessment for urban development of the coastal city Tuy Hoa (Vietnam) is carried out on the basis of the tourism industry. The natural complex's estimates, engineering and transport infrastructures, and the social sphere have been obtained, which allow to estimate the tourist flow of no more than 54,000 tourists, ensuring the sustainable development of the city

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PRIORITIES OF TOURISM AND HOTEL AND RESTAURANT CLUSTERS IN REGIONS OF UKRAINE

The presentation of priorities for the operation of the tourism, hotel, and restaurant clusters in regional development planning should take place within the framework of the translation of the regional objectives into an inherent process deriving from the intrinsic cluster nature. This process is carried out based on a systematic description of the purposeful actions of the cluster actors' associations outside the territory of cities, villages, and towns, which is an element in the search for the best solution for a specific situation. Consequently, the study defined the specifics of implementing the sustainable development of the tourism, hotel, and restaurant clusters priorities. In particular, the content of the process of finding a better solution for the specific sustainable development situation of the cluster is defined and the elements of the search for a better solution to the specific sustainable development situation of the tourism, hotel, and restaurant cluster are presented. The process of finding the best solution for the specific sustainability situation of the tourism, hotel, and restaurant clusters define as: in a plane of organizational stability; in a plane of technological stability; in a plane of financial stability. These elements are essential in ensuring the functionality of cluster members and methods of finding their paths development. This methodology should contain an algorithm for finding patterns in information arrays and meaningful interpretation of the obtained facts determines the order of action to approximate cluster actors to optimality parameters. Thus, the search for the best solution in terms of organizational sustainability should ensure a rhythmic process of providing tourist or hotel and restaurant cluster products. This process is linked to the dimensions of technological and financial sustainability. The search for the best solution in terms of technological stability should determine whether the business of each of the cluster actors uses its production capacity to the fullest extent. The search for the best solution in terms of financial stability focuses on determining the security of business in sub-areas of profitability, creditworthiness, and solvency.

Картографические материалы как источник исторических сведений развития территории и их использование при определении исторических границ поселений на примере города Буинска Республики Татарстан

The authors analyze and systematize multi-temporal cartographic material, as well as information on the history of Buinsk city territory development in determining the historic boundaries of settlements. For this, information is presented on the formation of the uezd town of Buinsk on the basis of Buinskoye village in the Simbirsk gubernia in the 18th century and the transformation of its borders during the 19th century. The authors present an overview of historical cartographic sources, the results of analyzing scientific historical and cultural (historical and architectural, historical and urban planning, historical and archival, archaeological) materials, information obtained arising from viewing the ancient buildings of the historical settlement, containing information on the city of Buinsk. Cartographic overlay and spatial referencing of historical and modern materials were carried out, taking into account the location of cultural heritage objects included in the unified state register (historical and cultural monuments) of the Russian Federation’s peoples, identified cultural heritage features and historically valuable cityforming ones. In addition, the results of analyzing compositional-and-species relationships of the historic settlement were taken into account. In this article, for the first time, cartographic sources on the history of Buinsk city are collected and summarized. Our studies served as the basis for defining the boundaries of the regional significance historical settlement territory, as well as identifying the elements of the regional significance historic settlement subject protection – “City of Buinsk”. As a result, the objects of cultural heritage and the subject of protection of the historical settlement were identified; the requirements for the regimes of maintaining the territory and town planning regulations were determined for them.

Assessment of groundwater potability for the population: Geochemical evaluation of aquifers in the city of Krasnodar

This work aimed to evaluate groundwater potability for the population through geochemical assessment methods on the example of aquifers in Krasnodar city. In 2016 and 2019, on the territory of Krasnodar city (Krasnodar region, Russian Federation), a detailed geochemical analysis of groundwater quality was performed based on a total of 6000 samples, 3000 samples per each year. Samples were taken from 30 wells located at depths of up to 450 m in the layers of Anthropogen and Neogene stages. Quantitative analysis of wells according to the average water quality parameters showed that in 15 wells, the water condition met the MAC (maximum allowable concentration) standards in all layers. Water abundance between the layers of the Quaternary and Cimmerian stages is seven times as different (p ≤ 0.001) towards the latter, the hardness between the same horizons is ten times as different (p ≤ 0.001) towards the Quaternary stage and three times as different (p ≤ 0.05) in terms of solid residue. Thus, the water hardness and water abundance index vary significantly between the vertical layers. A strong positive correlation between the solid residue and the hardness values (Pearson correlation 0.93, p ≤ 0.05), and a negative correlation between water abundance and solid residue values (Pearson correlation –0.83, p ≤ 0.05), as well as between the hardness and water abundance values (Pearson correlation –0.81, p ≤ 0.05) was recorded. These findings can be used for regions with similar deposits of rocks and aquifers.

Arachnoentomoses of domestic carnivores and effectiveness of insacar total in dogs otodectosis

The research analyzes the epizootological features of arachnomyioses of domestic carnivores of different species on the territory of cities in the Middle Volga region. With varying degrees of extensive invasion, this group of diseases consisted of sarcoptic mange of dogs, ear mange of dogs and cats, demodecosis of dogs, notoedric mange of cats and aphanipterosis of animals. The authors studied the seasonal, age and breed dynamics of sarcoptic mange of dogs, notoedric mange of cats, demodectic mange of dogs and aphanipterosis of cats. The authors established the peaks of invasion in arachnomyioses of various species of domestic carnivores, identified the most vulnerable age groups of animals to diseases. The analysis of the breed predisposition of animals to this group of diseases and the distribution of sick animals by sex was carried out. It is established that arachnomyioses are characterized by regional epizootological features. A new drug Insakar Total C, developed by the staff of FGBNU FNC VIEV RAS (Moscow) for ear mange of dogs, was tested. The research was carried out on dogs of the shelter for homeless animals "Paw of Help" at the Ulyanovsk SAU. During the test, it was found that Insakar Total C shows 100% therapeutic effectiveness in ear mange of dogs of moderate severity. The use of the drug, according to the instructions and instructions, completely frees sick animals from ticks- ear mange. The research was carried out with the grant support of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation.

ARBOALVO: territorial stratification for definition of areas for prompt response by surveillance and timely control of urban arbovirus infections

The study aimed to present the methodological proposal entitled "Prompt Response", modelled in the cities of Belo Horizonte (Minas Gerais State) and Natal (Rio Grande do Norte State), Brazil. The proposal aims to identify and demarcate priority areas for timely targeting of surveillance activities, aiming to reduce the intensity and velocity in the spread of epidemics in endemic urban areas. The methodology uses three variables that represent the necessary causes for the production and reproduction of dengue: notified cases (virus), Aedes eggs (vector), and population (host). This was an ecological study that used data from three information planes aggregated in finer temporal and spatial scales of 3 to 4 weeks and 400 to 600-meter grids, respectively. The prompt response areas were defined by Scan statistical analysis with definition of simultaneous spatial clusters for the three planes via the SaTScan program. In Natal, the areas defined as prompt response occupied, on average, 15.2% of the city's territory and concentrated 67.77% of the dengue cases in the period following demarcation of the prompt response areas. In Belo Horizonte, the observed proportions were 64.16% of cases in 23.23% of the territory. These results were obtained in two cities with different socioenvironmental and geographic realities and distinct epidemiological profiles, indicating that the methodology can be applied to different urban realities, allowing control programs to concentrate on reduced portions of the territory and impacting a high percentage of cases in timely fashion.
