The article shows the great importance of tourism development for the economy of the Russian Federation. Attention is drawn to the availability of favorable conditions for this industry in the North Caucasus Federal District of the country. The tourism development potential is considered in detail in each subject of the studied district (Stavropol Territory, the Republic of Dagestan, the Chechen Republic, the Republic of Ingushetia, the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, the Karachayevo-Cherkessian Republic, The Republic of North Ossetia-Alania), and the circumstances hindering this process have been identified. The main directions of tourism development in the subjects of the North Caucasus Federal District are substantiated, such as growth of highly qualified specialists in tourism organization; construction of hotels; infrastructure development; increasing the number of catering facilities; improving the quality of transport services; conducting marketing research aimed at the tourism development of various directions; effective pricing policy for tourist services.

СООТНОШЕНИЕ ТЕПЛА И ВЛАГИ В СЕЛЬСКОХОЗЯЙСТВЕННЫХ РАЙОНАХ ЮГА РОССИИ В ЛЕТНИЙ ПЕРИОД ПРИ ИЗМЕНЕНИИ КЛИМАТА

It is revealed that there was a significant increase in the Bowen ratio in the Volga, Southern, and North Caucasian federal districts in the second half of the 20th century-beginning of the 21st century. This indicates a strengthening of sensible heat flux and a reduction of latent heat flux in the heat and moisture balance. These changes are caused by a significant temperature rise, especially in the south of European Russia, with a regional decrease in precipitation. The Bowen ratio is inversely proportional to precipitation and NDVI and directly proportional to temperature. In the steppe zone represented by the Volga, Southern, and North Caucasian federal districts the long periods of predominance of the Bowen ratio anomalies of a certain sign can be distinguished for June and July: the positive ones in the 1950s and until the mid-1960s, the negative ones after that until the early 2000s, and the positive ones since the middle of the first decade of the 21st century. Since the second decade of the 21st century, the positive anomalies of the Bowen ratio have become more frequent in some years and have exceeded the standard deviation. An increase in the contribution of heat to the heat and moisture exchange balance led to a degradation of vegetation conditions in the Volga, Southern, and North Caucasus federal districts. In the south of the Siberian Federal District, the fluctuation of the Bowen ratio anomalies is less pronounced than in European Russia, which suggests some stability of heat and moisture supply in summer over the past 70 years.

Оплата труда ветеринарных специалистов государственной ветеринарной службы в субъектах Российской Федерации

Remuneration is one of the main factors that can motivate an employee to work productively, as well as influence the prestige of a profession. The paper presents the results of analysis of remuneration of the veterinary specialists of the State Veterinary Service for the country as a whole, for the federal districts and 85 regions of the country, as well as at various organizational levels within the Veterinary Service for 2021. The assessment of the veterinary specialist salary level as compared with that throughout the economy of the Russian Federation Subjects is presented. The veterinary specialist average monthly salary for the State Veterinary Service as a whole varies within a wide range: from 16.3 to 114.9 thousand rubles. The minimum and maximum salaries at different organizational levels within the State Veterinary Service differ 5–8-fold. The veterinary specialist salary level is lower than that for the economy of the relevant Russian Federation Subject: for the State Veterinary Service as a whole – in 69 regions of the country, for treatment and preventive care institutions – in 71 Subjects, in laboratory diagnosis institutions – in 72 Subjects. Of all the federal districts, the North Caucasian Federal District has the lowest veterinary specialist salary level both in absolute terms (about 21 thousand rubles) and as compared with the average for the economy of the Subjects of this federal district (64%). The paper also examines veterinary specialist modal and median salary values, which allow for the assessment of remuneration of this category of the State Veterinary Service staff from different viewpoints.

Ecosystemic epidemiological, epizootological, and sanitary-hygienic assessment of human and animal echinococcosis in the North Caucasus region

Introduction. Echinococcosis in animals and humans is a planetary problemю One of those zoonoses have acquired the status of epidemiological and sanitary-hygienic risks for the health in various social groups of the population and animals of more than 80 species.
 The purpose of the work is an ecosystemic epizootological, epidemiological, and sanitary-hygienic assessment of animal and human echinococcosis in Karachay-Cherkessia.
 Materials and methods. The studies were carried out in 2014–2022. The objects of study were the intestines of eighteen dog corpses slaughtered in compliance with the International Rules for Humane Treatment of Animals (2012), and the liver and lungs of 150 slaughtered sheep. Monitoring of echinococcosis in dogs and sheep was carried out by the method of complete helminthological dissection of organs and tissues according to K.I. Scriabin (1928). The number of taeniid-type eggs in the faeces of dogs and in 500 water samples of the basin of the river Kuban was determined according to the guidelines of Temporary norms and rules (1986). Data on the incidence of cystic echinococcosis in the population are summarized on the base of a comparative analysis of quarterly and annual reports of the sanitary medical services in 7 subjects of the North Caucasus Federal District with the materials of the State reports of the Federal Service for Supervision in Protection of the Rights of Consumer and Man Wellbeing of Russia.
 Results. The index of occurrence of invasion of the cystic form of echinococcus in the liver, lungs, and spleen in sheep in the planar zone was 18%, in the foothill zone – 24%, in the mountain zone – 28% (on average, about 25%). Transparent cysts of echinococcus extracted from the liver, lungs, and other organs of sheep contained protoscolexes in 100% of the samples, which indicates the likelihood of natural foci involving dogs and wild predators in the region, violations of the terms of deworming of priotary dogs, lack of sanitary and preventive work among the population. The region belongs to the group of subjects with low rates of zoonoses due to effective anti-epidemic measures. At the same time, the natural reservoirs of Karachay-Cherkessia are natural biotopes of taeniosis, where the contamination of water samples with taeniid eggs ranges from 11 to 37%.
 Limitations. The study is limited only by the analysis of statistical data on human echinococcosis in Karachay-Cherkessia and other subjects of the North Caucasus Federal District; other densely populated regions of the Russian Federation have not been studied and not affected.
 Conclusion. According to the epidemic situation in terms of echinococcosis in the population, the Karachay-Cherkess Republic can be attributed to relatively prosperous regions of Russia, but to the zone of epidemiological risk, since there is an increase in the number of dogs with tape echinococcosis and sheep infected with fertile cysts. Sanitary and hygienic pollution of the river Kuban and its tributaries with eggs of cestodes is a threat to the spread of echinococcosis among animals and humans.

Development of viticulture and winemaking in the regions of the Russian Federation

The article notes the importance of increasing the production of grapes and wines in the Russian Federation; the historical aspect of the change in the areas of grape cultivation is considered; the analysis of the dynamics of changes in the acreage under grapes, its gross harvest and yields is presented. It is noted that with the positive dynamics of grape and wine production in the country, there are unrealized reserves for growth, in particular, increasing the yield of grapes in the Southern and North Caucasus federal districts and timely processing of grapes at primary winemaking enterprises. The possibility of increasing the growth of the competitiveness of Russian winemaking through the rejuvenation of old vineyards has been studied. It is noted that it is necessary to use the existing experience of advanced enterprises more fully and provide state support for the replacement of physically and mentally worn-out machines and equipment. The article also focuses on the formation of alcoholic beverages consumption culture at different levels of education, as well as in the family. The potential for the development of wine-making activities by Russian enterprises in related industries is shown, considering new trends in consumer behavior, in particular, focusing on a healthy lifestyle and replacing sugar in the diet.

Analysis of the Situation on Anthrax in the World in 2022, the Forecast for the Russian Federation for 2023

The paper provides the results of analysis of the epizootiological and epidemiological situation on anthrax in the world in 2022, also, the forecast of incidence rates for the Russian Federation in 2023 is presented. In 2022, two cases of anthrax in farm animals and two cases of cutaneous form of infection in humans were registered in Russia, in the constituent entities of the North Caucasian Federal District: the Republic of Dagestan and the Stavropol Territory. The tense situation on anthrax was reported in the neighboring countries: Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Ukraine. Epizootics of infection with the highest number of affected farm and wild animals were recorded in the countries of Africa, Asia, North America and Europe. The incidence of anthrax among people in the far abroad (mainly in Africa and Asia) was mostly associated with consuming the meat of sick and fallen farm animals, contact with infected animals, animal products. The incidence of anthrax in animals and humans in the Russian Federation in 2023 will largely depend on the scale of coverage with specific immunization of susceptible animals and persons at risk of infection and, given the strict implementation of comprehensive surveillance measures, will be limited to the registration of potentially possible single cases of infection.

Aquaculture in the South of Russia

The strategy for development of agro-industrial and fishery complexes of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030 focuses the domestic fish industry to increasing the volume of aquaculture products up to 618 thousand tons. With a proportional distribution of the regional load, the volume of seafood production in the Southern and the North Caucasian Federal Districts should be increased to 200 thousand tons by 2030. To achieve this level, the volume must increase by about 9 % annually that is almost 2.5 times higher than the actual gains. The problem can be solved with state support for development of large industrial farms that use warm wastewater from power plants or other industries. Further progressive development of aquaculture in the southern regions of Russia could be facilitated by creation of a state structure that provides practical interaction between enterprises, executive authorities, scientific and educational institutions.

Conclusions. The export of agricultural products is one of the most important factors in strengthening and developing the international economic potential of Southern regions of Russia, and requires special attention from the state regional authorities.

Проектный подход к развитию горного туризма на Северном Кавказе

Introduction. Mountainous territories in Russia are an important element of the development potential, especially this direction is relevant in the field of tourist and recreational services. Many subjects of the Russian Federation have a certain area that falls on mountainous areas. Domestic and international practice has convincingly shown that they can contribute to the growth of socio-economic indicators of the region due to successful integration into the economic system. At the same time, there are a number of objective restrictions on the development of active types of tourism associated with increased risks of some of them, such as the North Caucasus. The article discusses the main types of active recreation in the highlands, problems and prospects of the tourism industry development in the North Caucasus Federal District. The conclusion is made about the sustainable development of this type of tourism in the North Caucasus. The purpose of the study is to analyze the problems and conditions of effective development of the mountainous territories of the North Caucasus. Materials and methods. The information base of the research was the scientific and methodological developments of domestic authors on the problem under study, national and regional concepts, strategies and programs for the development of tourism in the Russian Federation until 2035. The research methodology is the scientific analysis and systematization of the data obtained. In the course of the research, general scientific methods and approaches were applied: abstraction, analysis and synthesis, logical method; systematic approach. Results and discussion. According to most experts, the effective and sustainable development of the tourism industry in the mountainous territories of the North Caucasus Federal District requires, first of all, the formation of appropriate legal acts concerning mountainous territories at the federal level. Effective development measures should be developed for the mountainous territories of the North Caucasus to attract tourists and form a positive image of the region as a ski resort. Conclusion. The measures taken contribute to the flow of large investments into the region, which, in turn, will help the development of a highly developed tourist and recreational complex in the North Caucasus.

Economic and statistical analysis of industrial production in the North Caucasian Federal District of the Russian Federation

The article substantiates the need to assess the industrial potential of a region to form an effective regional industrial policy with due regard to economic constraints and ongoing global exogenous changes. To attain this end, the study uses the tools and methods of mathematical statistics and system analysis. The authors of the article analyze the dynamics of industrial production in the North Caucasian Federal District of the Russian Federation, as well as the efficiency of using resources by certain industries and activities. As a result, they determine promising directions for the development of industrial potential in the region.

Неформальные отношения на рынке труда: причины возникновения и направления легализации

The article considers the problem of informal labor relations in the labor market, shadow employment, employment in the informal sector in the regions with low macroeconomic development indicators. There are discussed the various points of view of specialists, a review of the sources of special literature, regarding the content of the definition of informal (shadow) employment. The analysis of indicators characterizing the state of the labor market, incomes of the population and wages, information on part-time employment of citizens of the North Caucasus federal district in general and of the Republic of Dagestan, in particular, was carried out. The main factors that led to the emergence and sustainable functioning of the shadow economy, accumulating a large number of the unemployed population of the macroregion, are outlined. The directions, the implementation of which will reduce the level of the informal economy, neutralize the consequences of its existence, as well as benchmarks that allow assessing the level of the informally employed population, are identified. A positive impetus in this matter can be given by the observance of the fundamental principle of achieving a balance of interests of the main actors of the process under consideration, since the formation and development of informal economic relations, and their scale is, in a way, a response to formal rules. Conclusions are drawn that the processes of reducing the shadow economy and informal relations in the social and labor sphere should take place at the institutional level. It was noted that attention should be focused on the development of mechanisms to reduce informal employment and shadow manifestations in the economic sphere, since employment in the informal sector of the economy is not a violation and is regulated by the current regulatory framework.

Tick-borne infections in the south of Russia: modern epidemiological situation, new approach to create “forecasting” and “explaining” morbidity models (in astrakhan rickettsiosis fever and crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever)

The article presents a description of the current tick-borne infection epidemiological situation in the south of Russia from the years 2013 to 2022, proposes a new approach to develop forecasting models for morbidity dynamics of Astrakhan rickettsial fever (ARF) and Crimean hemorrhagic fever (СCHF) in the Astrakhan region and presents data assessing 2022 explaining models for the Stavropol Territory and Astrakhan Region. Materials and methods. A comprehensive research was performed using epidemiological analysis and non-parametric statistical methods. The data assessing tick-borne infections epidemic process manifestations were retrieved from ARF and CCHF morbidity databases (developed as a project) and documents of infectious disease focus epidemiological examination provided by the departments of Rospotrebnadzor in the subjects of the Southern and North Caucasian Federal Districts. Morbidity models were developed using the Bayes theorem and Walds sequential statistical analysis, with a preliminary calculation of indicators informativeness by the Kullback method. The values of climatic factors from the database of the Center for Collective Use IKI-monitoring of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences were used. Results. The results of the study indicate persistence of serious epidemiological situation regarding rickettsiosis of the tick-borne spotted fever group, Q fever, tick-borne borreliosis and CCHF in the south of Russia. Almost all tick-borne infections nosological forms in children under 14 years (including young children and infants) were widely involved in the epidemic process, which belong to patients at risk for a complicated disease course due to complicated diagnostics and treatment. The annual registration of tick-borne infections cases in the resort areas, with the subsequent occurrence of imported cases in other, including non-endemic regions poses a serious problem. The proposed forecasting models allow to predict the CСHF and ARF morbidity for each administrative district of the Astrakhan region with up to 91.7% accuracy. The explaining models CСHF accuracy for the Stavropol Territory and Astrakhan Region, when tested in 2022, was 88.5 and 83.3%, respectively, for ARF 91.7%. Conclusions. The further continuation of forecasting and explaining models verification for planning preventive measures and propose similar steps for tick-borne borreliosis and Q fever to epidemiological tick-borne infections to stabilize situation in the south of Russia.

Региональные риски производственных травм и гибели личного состава Федеральной противопожарной службы МЧС России (2006–2020 гг.)

Introduction. A high level of tension of physical and psychophysiological reserves of an organism which firefighters are exposed to probably contributes to the occurrence of erroneous actions and injuries. Occupational injuries are an indicator of the safety of activity, it cannot be excluded completely, injuries can only be minimized. The purpose of this article is to carry out a qualitative assessment of the occupational risks of injuries and death of personnel, employees with special ranks, and workers of the Federal Firefighting Service (FFS) of the Emercom of Russia in federal districts and regions of Russia. Methods. Over the 15 years (2006–2020) 3,758 injuries in the performance of official duties were recorded considering the personnel of the Federal Firefighting Service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, 224 of them were fatal. The risk of occupational injuries was calculated per 10 thousand (10 –4 ) people, the risk of death was calculated per 100 thousand (10 –5 ). Optimal risk was considered to be those indicators that were 1/3 less than the average for the FFS of the EMERCOM of Russia, increased — more than 1/3, acceptable — with intermediate values. Resu lts and discussion. The average annual risk of occupational injuries of the personnel of the FFS of the EMERCOM of Russia was (14.66 ± 2.01) ∙ 10 –4 injuries/(person per year). The optimal risk of injuries was in the Siberian Federal District and in 24 regions of Russia, increased — in the Far Eastern, North Caucasus Federal District and in 23 regions, acceptable — in other federal districts and regions. The average annual risk of death of the personnel of the FFS of the EMERCOM of Russia was (8.53 ± 1.00) ∙ 10 –5 deaths/(person ∙ year). The optimal risk of death was in the Siberian Federal District and in 35 regions of Russia, elevated — in the North Caucasus Federal District and in 19 regions, acceptable — in other federal districts and regions. Co nclusions. It is necessary to take into account and analyze all cases of occupational injuries with the participation of chiefs, occupational safety specialists, engineers, firefighters and doctors in order to develop measures to prevent them.

Information and analytical aspects of the study of problems of regional economic security

The North Caucasian Federal District is a geostrategic macroregion and acts as the main transit corridor connecting the Russian Federation with the countries of the Transcaucasus and the Middle East. Ensuring sustainable socio-economic development, reducing inter-regional differentiation is a strategic task of the Russian Federation, aimed at maintaining the integrity of the state, strengthening economic security. The regions of the North Caucasus have favorable conditions for the development of agriculture, the recreational and tourist complex, and industry. At the same time, in terms of such key indicators as gross regional product per capita, labor productivity, and average monthly wages, the macroregion lags behind most federal districts. In this connection, an objective assessment of the socio-economic situation of the regions of the North Caucasian Federal District is an urgent practical task.

Conclusions. The active participation of the Chechen Republic in the implementation of State federal programmes and national projects should be supported. It is necessary to develop a set of measures aimed at improving the teaching profession status.

Improving milk quality to prevent microelement deficiencies: a socio-hygienic perspective on adding bioavailable trace elements

Based on the study of actual nutrition and the availability of macro- and microelements, it was found that the adult population of the North Caucasus Federal District (NCFD) of Russia belongs to the risk group for the development of micronutrient insufficiency associated with a low content in the diet of several essential elements (copper, zinc, calcium, selenium), which are a priority for correction. This is because 89% of the population in the NCFD has a diet that is significantly out of balance both quantitatively and qualitatively, negatively impacting nutritional status and the dispersion of trace elements. It was found that a significant part of the population of the NCFD is characterized by a lack of dairy products in the diet (59.8%), as well as insufficient intake of vitamins B2, B6, C, PP, folic acid, I, Se, Cu, Zn, Mg, Ca, fiber, polyunsaturated fatty acids, tryptophan. Volunteers were selected for the experiment – adult men living in the NCFD. The volunteers took 200 ml of “Voznesenovsky Ecoprodukt” milk (2.5% fatness) for 60 days, produced by a local enterprise using the technology proposed by the authors. Significant violations of mineral metabolism were found in 68.3% of the population at the start of the trial, according to the findings of screening examinations conducted on the hair of the experiment's volunteer participants. Among the priorities for the correction of essential elements are: Se (deficiency in 88.2% of the examined), J (82.2%), Cu (59.1%), Zn (66.7%), Ca (29.8%). The proportion of people with calcium deficiency decreased from 29.8 to 21.5%, copper from 59.1 to 36.2%, selenium from 88.2 to 72.4%, zinc from 66.7 to 38.4%, and iodine from 82.2 to 68.4% when "Voznsenovsky Ecoproduct" was added to the milk diet. At the end of the preventive course, an increase in the concentration in the hair was noted: calcium (by 26.6%), zinc (by 11.0%), copper (by 10.1%), iodine (by 32.5%) and selenium (by 38.9%). Regular consumption of “Voznesenovsky Ecoprodukt” milk allowed to increase the consumption of dairy products among the study participants, to receive a rapid physiological response of the body in the form of an increase in the content of the studied micro- and macroelements in the hair, reducing the number of people with calcium, zinc and selenium deficiency.

ФЕДЕРАЛЬНЫЕ СМЫСЛЫ И РЕГИОНАЛЬНЫЕ ПРОЕКЦИИ ГОСУДАРСТВЕННОЙ МОЛОДЕЖНОЙ ПОЛИТИКИ РОССИЙСКОЙ ФЕДЕРАЦИИ

Тhe article contains a political analysis of the implementation of the main principles of the state youth policy of the Russian Federation at the regional level of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation of the North Caucasian Federal District, in particular, the Republic of North Osse-tia-Alania (RNO-A). The characteristic properties of youth are singled out as a special social group that requires the appropriate political and managerial attention of the state. The program-targeted efforts of the regional profile executive body of the North Ossetia-A to implement the doctrinal principles of the Russian federal youth policy are traced. As an independent case, the content and organizational initiatives of the head of the RNO-A S.I. Menyailo on the formation of a significant information, communication and value space for interaction between the authorities and youth. Documentary empirical material is involved, meaningful on the basis of content analysis and participant observation.

West Nile Fever in the Russian Federation in 2022, the Incidence Forecast for 2023

The review presents an analysis of West Nile fever (WNF) epidemiological situation in the Russian Federation in 2022 and the summarized results of monitoring over the pathogen. The following features of the WNF epidemic process in Russia are outlined: the decrease (by 4 times) in the incidence rates compared to the long-term average values against an extremely extensive nature of manifestations (16 constituent entities in 6 federal districts), including the detection of local cases in 5 new territories (Tver, Tambov, Vladimir Regions, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous District, and Karachay-Cherkess Republic), predominant registration of incidence in the Central Federal District (51 %), early start and termination of the epidemic season. There is a decrease in the proportion of neuroinvasive forms in the structure of incidence, prevalence of females and the age group of “60 years and over”, as well as record rate values of people infected at the place of residence in cities, which is associated with the peculiarities of case detection, namely, screening examinations of febrile patients in hospitals by efforts of the Reference Center, according to the results of which 60 % of all registered patients with WNF in Russia were diagnosed. Monitoring studies of the Reference Center in the territory of the Central, Southern and North-Caucasian Federal Districts confirmed the intensive circulation of the pathogen. The low level of officially registered incidence is caused by insufficiently effective identification of patients. Molecular genetic studies have shown that West Nile virus lineage 2 circulated in the European part of Russia, both in epizootic and epidemic cycles. Phylogenetic analysis has revealed that 4 West Nile virus isolates found in Astrakhan, Volgograd Regions, the Republic of Kalmykia and Stavropol Territory in 2022 belong to a new genovariant of the genotype 2, first identified in Russia in 2021. Possible complication of the epidemiological situation in all federal districts of the center and south of the European part of Russia is predicted.

Multidrug Resistance of <i>F. tularensis</i> subsp. <i>holarctica</i>, Epizootiological and Epidemiological Analysis of the Situation on Tularemia in the Russian Federation in 2022 and Forecast for 2023

The review provides concise information on the innate ability of cells of the tularemia pathogen, Francisella tularensis subsp. Holarctica, to resist antimicrobials through a variety of mechanisms, leading to its multi-resistance. In total, taking into account new territories, 120 cases of human infection were registered in the Russian Federation in 2022. Epizootic manifestations of the infection of varying degrees of intensity were detected in 58 constituent entities. Against this background, sporadic cases of tularemia in humans were reported in 18 regions of the country. An outbreak of tularemia occurred in the Stavropol Territory; the disease of mild and moderate severity was found in 76 people. The increased incidence of tularemia persists in the Republic of Karelia with severe cases of the disease in the absence of immunoprophylaxis of this infection in the region. A total of 61 cultures of the tularemia pathogen F. tularensis subsp. holarctica, out of which 20 erythromycin-resistant strains were isolated in the Stavropol Territory. In addition, 8 cultures of F. tularensis subsp. mediasiatica from a silt sample and mites Dermacentor silvarum and Haemaphysalis concinna caught in the Republic of Altai were isolated. On the territory of the Russian Federation in 2022, 930 999 people were vaccinated and revaccinated against tularemia. Based on the analysis of the data obtained in 2022, epidemic complications in 2023 in the form of sporadic cases of the disease among the unvaccinated population are most likely to occur in the territories of the Central Federal District – in the Vladimir, Ryazan and Smolensk Regions; Northwestern Federal District – in the Arkhangelsk Region and the Republic of Karelia; Southern Federal District – in the Volgograd and Rostov Regions. The situation in the North Caucasian Federal District will remain tense in the Stavropol Territory; in the Volga Federal District – in the territories of the Saratov Region, as well as in the Kirov Region and the Republic of Mordovia; Ural Federal District – in Khanty-Mansi and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Districts; Siberian Federal District – in certain territories of Omsk, Kemerovo, Tomsk, Novosibirsk, Irkutsk Regions, Altai, Krasnoyarsk Territories; in the Far Eastern Federal District, the most intense epizootic activity of natural tularemia foci is in Primorsky Krai.
