Предварительный нормоконтроль конституционных поправок в конституционных (уставных) советах субъектов РФ

The 2020 amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation significantly expanded the competence of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation. The Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation received the right to carry out preliminary normative control of constitutional amendments. This caused active scientific discussions. However, the issue of preliminary constitutional normative control of amendments to the constitutions and charters of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation has not been studied by legal science. At the same time, the constituent entities of the Russian Federation endowed their constitutional (statutory) councils with the right to preliminary normative control of constitutional amendments. The article analyzes the experience of three constituent entities of the Russian Federation (the Republic of Adygea, the Republic of Bashkortostan and the Republic of Yakutia), which have established constitutional councils. Based on the results of the analysis, it is concluded that the constitutional councils of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation are endowed with the right to preliminary normative control of constitutional amendments, but the procedure for such verification and its limits are not regulated, and the results are advisory in nature.

Оптимизация эксплуатации газобаллонного оборудования технологического транспорта АК «АЛРОСА», использующего компримированный природный газ в качестве моторного топлива в условиях Якутии

The paper justifies the relevance of using compressed natural gas as the motor fuel for utility vehicles in conditions of the high north and the Republic of Yakutia. Natural gas as an alternative energy carrier is stated to have a number of advantages over diesel fuel, however, its use in extremely low temperatures, in particular, in Yakutia, is associated with some challenges. A number of technical solutions are proposed to maintain a constant temperature of compressed natural gas contained in the gas cylinders onboard of the utility vehicles. The paper provides a detailed description of the methods to maintain the required temperature of the compressed natural gas in the gas cylinders using heat from the exhaust gases of the combustion engine, as well as by means of flexible electric strip heaters. One of the possible ways to separate heavy hydrocarbons (C5-C7) that negatively affect the performance characteristics of the combustion engines and the operation efficiency of the gas cylinder equipment is described for production of the compressed natural gas for utility vehicles. Technical requirements are determined for rubber products of the gas cylinder equipment that operate at low ambient temperatures. The article suggests the optimal quality characteristics of the frost-resistant rubbers and sealing materials that are most suitable for application in conditions of Yakutia.

Siberia: Dissolving Earths

Abstract The processes of colonization often feature campaigns to decouple indigenous inhabitants from their relationship with the land. This practice has a particularly violent history in the Russian republic of Yakutia and across wider Siberia; indeed, systemic oppression and exploitation continues there to this day. While the international art world has turned its attention towards indigenous futures and forms of knowledge, it has focused primarily on the Americas as well as the Nordic and Oceania regions. “Siberia: Dissolving Earths” discusses the need for developing an international platform for Siberia and its indigenous cultural, ecological, and scientific communities, especially in a time when ties with the region are being severed given its “Russian” identity, a categorization so few of the region's inhabitants want.

Analysis of the applicability of correlation and regression models to assess the factors of aviation fuel supply to the remote Arctic regions of the Far North

Air transport for the Far East and the Far North is a strategically important mode of transport for most of its part and especially in the Arctic regions. Air transportation plays the most important social and economic role, providing the fastest connection with the rest of Russia and vital transport accessibility of the population of a strategically important region of the Russian Federation. Air transport plays a special role in the largest region of the Russian Federation, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), which remains the most isolated and inaccessible region of the country. In the republic, aviation is the only year-round means of transport communication on 85% of the territory. At the same time, the most important factor affecting the year-round provision of transport accessibility for the vast majority of airports in the republic, and especially in the Arctic zone, is the delivery of the required amount of aviation fuel, provided that its consumer properties are preserved. The unique and complex scheme of aviation fuel delivery to the Arctic and remote areas of Yakutia, with up to nine transshipments, leads to the loss of some important parameters of aviation fuel, such as electrical conductivity, and forces airlines flying to the Arctic and remote areas of Yakutia to look for more optimal logistics ways of delivery, storage, ensuring the safety of properties and parameters of aviation fuel. Another factor that directly affects the year-round provision of transport accessibility of the population is the cost of jet fuel, which is about 30 % of the costs of base airlines, such as Yakutia Airlines, where at the base airport Yakutsk the cost of jet fuel in 2021 reached 88 thousand rubles per ton, provided refueling in the wing, with an average value for all airports Russia has about 58 thousand rubles per ton. At the same time, the cost of jet fuel at Arctic airports has approached or has already reached 100 thousand per ton. In order, to find solutions, the authors of this article used a research methodology based on factor analysis using the apparatus of economic and mathematical modeling of the problem of jet fuel delivery due to optimization of the logistics scheme of delivery to remote regions of the Arctic zone. By applying capability assessments correlation and regression analysis, estimation factors for the jet fuel supply chain optimization by optimizing the logistics scheme were carried out. As a result of the research and along with the proposed solutions of practical, technological and economic nature, a regression model is considered on the basis of which the most optimal options for the development of fuel supply of the Republic of Yakutia for air transport in the coming period can be suggested.

ЛОГИСТИЧЕСКИЕ ВОЗМОЖНОСТИ ДОСТАВКИ ГРУЗОВ В РЕСПУБЛИКУ САХА (ЯКУТИЯ)

The paper considers the main ways of cargo delivery to the northern territories of the Irkutsk region and the Republic of Yakutia. The authors substantiate the relevance and significance of the research topic. The main transport artery within the framework of the northern delivery is the Lena River, along which, during the summer river navigation, most of the cargo is delivered from the port of Osetrovo (Ust-Kut) to the ports of Yakutsk and Tiksi. However, due to the completion of the Amur-Yakutsk Mainline, the role of the Yakutsk river port as a logistics hub for cargo delivery to remote and northern areas of the Arctic zone is increasing. The authors of the paper clearly prove the advantages of the new cargo delivery route under the scheme: "railway -river" via Yakutsk in comparison with the traditional delivery route from the port of Osetrovo. Promising areas for the development of freight transportation in Yakutia are associated with the implementation of projects for the construction of a railway bridge across the Lena River in Yakutsk and the modernization of the seaport of Tiksi, which serves as a reference point in the Arctic zone of Yakutia in the framework of the transport corridor "Northern Sea Route".

The problem of coordinated optimization of average monthly regimes of the design year is considered, including taking into account the features of hydroelectric power plants with reservoirs of multi-year regulation when optimizing long-term operating regimes of electric power systems. The features of the stepped optimization method are given. As an example of optimization of long-term modes of the electric power system, the electric power system of the Yakutia Republic is considered.

ИСТОРИЯ СТАНОВЛЕНИЯ ФТИЗИАТРИИ В РЕСПУБЛИКЕ САХА (ЯКУТИЯ)

Abstract. The article is devoted to the 100th anniversary of the formation of the Yakut ASSR, the formation of the phthisiological service in Yakutia. Professor M.A. Tyrilgin wrote a lot about tuberculosis in Yakutia: "Tuberculosis has been known to the indigenous inhabitants of Yakutia for a long time…Because the pathology existing on Earth has been the "heritage" of all mankind since time immemorial." As you know, in the fight against tuberculosis, it is very important for the government to have the political will and political commitment to organize the fight against tuberculosis. This was also the case in the young Soviet Republic of Yakutia in the early 1920s, where the leaders were sincerely concerned about the state of the problem of tuberculosis infection of the population of Yakutia. On June 29, 1950, the Yakut branch of the Institute of Tuberculosis of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences was opened. The first director was appointed health organizer E.N. Andreev.A lot of organizational work was carried out to invite doctors and scientists to YAFIT, search and construction of houses for invited doctors. Five stages of the development of the TB service are considered. For the first time in the country, an expeditionary method of examining the population of the republic for tuberculosis was developed. The composition of the expedition group included: bacteriologist for laboratory examination on MBT, radiologist with fluorograph, specialists for tuberculin diagnostics. All remote areas were covered, special attention was paid to the Far North. Methods of anti-tuberculosis measures in urban and rural areas were also developed, which served as the basis for several government initiatives. Overcoming all difficulties and periods of recession in the country and the republic, the republican tuberculosis service became centralized with the main institution - the E.N. Andreev Phthisiology Research Center, develops and continues the traditions laid down in the early 1920s.

The charophytes (Characeae, Charophyceae) from the Yenisey Siberia (Russia)

The records of new localities of charophytes from the Yenisey Siberia and confirmations for the ones known before were summarized as a result of study both available herbarium collections and field studies during 2007–2021. The twenty species, including one novel genus and five novel species records, 59 new localities (67 % of its total number), 127 new populations (83 % of its total number) were found in this region. In particular, 12 species (incl. 3 novel ones for the region) are known from the Republic of Khakassia, 17 (7) – from the Krasnoyarsk Territory, 12 (7) – from the Tuva Republic. The genus Chara is the most species-rich and frequent in the area of study. The taxonomic rank of C. arcuatifolia sensu Hollerb. et Krassavina is discussed. It seems to be a morphotype of C. globularis having clearly arcuate branchlets. Nitella tenuissima is a novel species record for Asian Russia. The charophyte northernmost locality on the continent was revealed. It belongs to C. virgata collected at Southern Taymyr. The novel locality of circumpolar species Tolypella canadensis, far distant from ones known before from Komi Republic and Republic of Yakutia, was found in this region too. The species occurrence in different ecoregions was estimated. The contemporary presence of some species after long intervals between observations from their first records was confirmed. The persistence of the same species in the same water bodies after a long period was revealed as evidence of stability of their populations, important for species protection. The loss of charophyte localities as a result of construction of large Krasnoyarskoe and Sayano-Shushenskoe water reservoirs is remarkable. The red lists for the regions studied were compiled and some species were suggested for protection. The important charophyte areas enabling protection of some species were revealed.

ВЕТЕРИНАРНО-САНИТАРНЫЕ АСПЕКТЫ АККЛИМАТИЗАЦИИ ЛЕСНОГО БИЗОНА В УСЛОВИЯХ ЯКУТИИ

Veterinary sanitary and helminthological aspects of the distribution of forest bison on the territory of the Republic of Yakutia are considered to assess the restoration of the number of the Yakut range of the bison population, which are currently listed in the Red Book of Yakutia. Despite the fact that the forest bison has been listed in the "Red Book" of the republic since 2019, the international project "Reaclimatization of the forest bison in the taiga zone of Central Yakutia" has been operating on the territory of Yakutia since 2006, the purpose of which is aimed at restoring its natural range and preserving it as a species. To implement the international project, natural parks have been created in the territories of the Lena Pillars and Blue national parks, in which forest bison annually give offspring. To date, the adaptation of forest bison to the conditions of Central Yakutia is going well, so the dynamics of population growth averages 12-14% annually. Thanks to the implementation of this project, more than 120 calves were received on the territory of Yakutia. Since 2017, the final stage of the implementation of the international project, namely the repatriation of the species to the natural environment, has been taking place. In the course of the study, data on the full ecological compliance of natural and climatic conditions and the feed base of nurseries located on the territory of Central Yakutia were confirmed. The processes of introduction and acclimatization negatively affect the adaptation to new living conditions of wild animals as well. At the same time, there is an increased level of invasion by helminths of various origins. Therefore, in imported wild ungulates, the death of parasites developing in the gastrointestinal tract and infection with local helminths is noted, which contributes to the maintenance of foci of the spread of local parasitic diseases in animals during their acclimatization. New parasites can be brought with imported animals, which develop new hosts for them and cause significant damage to agriculture and hunting. Accordingly, the study of the degree of helminth invasion of forest bison during their acclimatization in Yakutia is not only relevant, but also quite in demand for both researchers and employees of hunting farms.

Regional features of occupational pathology in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation (2007–2018)

The purpose of the study was a comparative investigation of working conditions, prevalence and structure of occupational pathology in the subjects of the Russian Arctic in 2007-2018. Material and methods. The analysis of data on socio-hygienic monitoring in the section “Working conditions and occupational morbidity” of the population in the Russian Arctic in 2007-2018 was carried out. Results. The development risks, prevalence and structure of occupational pathology in the subjects of the Russian Arctic were established to have significant differences. The most common factor causing the development of occupational pathology (32.8% of all cases) was the increased severity of labour. In three regions of the Russian Arctic, the seriousness of work was a leading risk factor: Arctic zones of the Republics of Komi and Karelia, the Murmansk region. The most unfavourable working conditions and a high level of occupational morbidity are observed in Arctic zones of the Republic of Komi (207.44 per 10,000 employees) and Krasnoyarsk Territory (20.65), the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug (12.69). The basis of the economy of these entities is formed by the mining and metallurgical industries. On the contrary, the least harmful working conditions and a low level of occupational pathology are characteristic of the gas and oil producers of the Yamalo-Nenets (1.29) and the Nenets Autonomous Okrugs (3.45). Over the analyzed period, the level of occupational morbidity in five subjects of the Russian Arctic (Arctic zones of the Krasnoyarsk Territory and the Republic of Komi, the Nenets and Chukotka Autonomous Okrugs, the Murmansk Region) tended to increase, while in other three (Arctic zones of the Arkhangelsk Region and the Republic of Yakutia, the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug) - to decrease. Conclusion. Modern targeted programs for the prevention of occupational pathology should consider the characteristics of the formation of health disorders both in general in the Russian Arctic and in its subjects.

Industrial and wildfire aerosol pollution over world heritage Lake Baikal

Lake Baikal is the biggest reservoir of fresh water with unique flora and fauna; presently it is negatively affected by climate change, water warming, industrial emissions, shipping, touristic activities, and Siberian forest fires. The assessment of air pollution - related Baikal's ecosystem damage is an unsolved problem. Ship, based expedition exploring the Baikal atmospheric aerosol loading, was performed over the lake area in July 2018. We combine the aerosol near - water and vertical distributions over the Lake Baikal basin with meteorological observations and air mass transportation simulations. Lidar sounding of aerosol fields in the troposphere assesses the atmospheric background in the pristine areas and the pollution during fire-affected periods. Aerosol optical properties (scattering and spectral absorption) converted to the particle number size, black carbon (BC) mass, and Absorption Angstrom Exponent (AAE) provide the inside into aerosol characterization. Transport of industrial emissions from Krasnoyarsk and Irkutsk regions, and wildfire plumes from Republic of Yakutia relates the pollution sources to the increased concentrations of fine particle numbers, PM10 and BC mass over Southern and Northern/Central Baikal, respectively. The highest PM10 and BC are associated to the harbor and touristic areas of intensive shipping and residential biomass burning. Deposition estimates applied to aerosol data exhibit the pollution fluxes to water surface over the whole Baikal area. AAE marks the impact of coal combustion, residential biomass burning, and wildfires indicating the high pollution level of the Lake Baikal ecological system .

Циркуляционные факторы возникновения лесных пожаров на территории Сибири и Дальнего Востока летом 2019 и 2021 гг.

The article is devoted to the analysis of forest fires in Siberia. Particular attention is paid to three regions: Krasnoyarsk Territory, Irkutsk Region and the Republic of Yakutia. The causes of forest fires, weather and circulation conditions were analyzed as key natural factors of a high level of fire hazard in the boreal forests of the northern regions of the Asian part of Russia using the example of the territories of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Irkutsk Region and Yakutia. The typification of synoptic processes in the middle and lower troposphere is carried out, reflecting the prevailing contribution of blocking and mobile cyclogenesis processes to an increase in the area of distribution and the lifetime of forest fires. The long-term dynamics of temperature and humidity characteristics was estimated through the calculated values of the hydrothermal coefficient, which indicate a tendency to an increase in the probabilistic criteria of “insufficient moisture”, and in some years of weak droughts, which should be taken into account when predicting forest fires in the boreal forests of Siberia and Yakutia. A comparative analysis of the advective-dynamic factors of the occurrence of forest fires was carried out using the example of large forest fires in Siberia, starting from 1897. Particular attention is paid to the causes of the occurrence of large forest fires in the summer of 2019 and 2021.

Reproductive compatibility of Sorbocotoneaster with mountain ash species and varieties that are promising for breeding in Siberia

In Russia, in the Republic of Yakutia, there is the only point in the world where natural intergeneric hybridization of species of the genera Sorbus and Cotoneaster is observed, resulting in the formation of a new hybridogenic genus ×Sorbocotoneaster with a rich polymorphism of parental genera traits. For the selection of mountain ash in Siberia, it is promising to involve Sorbocotoneaster genotypes in artificial hybridization as sources of a complex of economically valuable traits, including winter hardiness, short stature, and self-fertility. Artificial hybridization of the tetraploid selective form Sorbocotoneaster with selected forms and varieties of Sorbus sibirica, S. aucuparia, S. sambucifolia and their hybrids allows obtaining viable hybrid offspring in combinations where Sorbocotoneaster is used as a pollen donor.

Methodology for calculating the lifetime of storage batteries in autonomous energy systems with renewable power generation

This paper presents a versatile and simple methodology for calculating the lifetime of storage batteries in autonomous energy systems with renewable power generation. A description is given of battery categorization and its importance in establishing potential configuration options.Battery operating modes are modeled using the chronological modeling method which defines the mode indicators with respect to every hour of the period under consideration. The notions of partial cycle and local minimum state of battery charge are introduced. These indicators are necessary for the correct estimate of the number of battery cycles to failure. After identifying the number of cycles to failure and the average annual number of cycles, it is possible to calculate storage battery lifetime.This methodology was used in 2014 when designing and setting up Verkhnyaya Amga, a photovoltaic system in the Republic of Yakutia (Russia’s Far East). The results showed that it is best to use lead–carbon batteries with a total capacity of 144 kW h.

Modeling a Solar Power Plant with Regard to Changes in Environmental Parameters

An approach is described for modeling the operating parameters of photovoltaic converters with regard to changes in natural and climatic conditions. A review of frequently used approaches to modeling photovoltaic converters in problems of optimal unit commitment is presented. Based on the basic provisions of energy system studies, a number of requirements for the proposed approach were formed. An algorithm for calculating the operating parameters of photovoltaic converters, such as output current, voltage, active power, efficiency, and operating temperature, is described. In calculating the operating temperature of the converter, the Koehl correlation coefficients are used to account for additional cooling due to on-ground wind flow. The study also presents the numerical values of the necessary modeling coefficients. As an example, the village of Innyaly (Republic of Yakutia, Lensk raion) was chosen with a solar power plant of a 40-kW capacity planned for building by 2022. For the territory under consideration, a data set of a typical meteorological year was formed using the Local Analysis of Environmental Parameters and Solar Radiation software and computing complex developed at the ESI SB RAS. When forming a typical meteorological year, retrospective natural and climatic data of the FM 12 Synop format from the nearest weather station were used. The modeling results demonstrated the adequacy of the proposed approach. For example, when the level of solar radiation changes, the output current and active power change significantly, while no voltage change is practically observed. At the same time, a decrease in the operating temperature of the photovoltaic converter increases both efficiency and voltage. The modeled operating parameters are consistent with real data obtained by the Australian Solar Center at the power plant in the city of Alice Springs. The proposed approach can be applied to solve problems of optimal unit commitment, adequacy, calculation of economic efficiency, and other energy system parameters.

Evaluating the representativeness of the bentgrass (Agrostis L.) gene pool collected across the Russian Federation and neighboring countries in the VIR collection

Various species of bentgrass (Agrostis L.) are an important component of natural pastures. They are used to prepare forage grass mixtures or set up lawns; there are released cultivars. The collection of bentgrass held by VIR currently consists of 576 accessions. A. gigantea Roth is represented mainly by wild accessions; A. stolonifera L., A. canina L., and A. tenuis Sibth. by cultivars and breeding material of foreign origin. The representativeness of the gene pool and the distribution of germplasm collecting sites over the territory of the ex-USSR have been evaluated, and the species diversity has been analyzed within the collection. The regions have been identified that need to be addressed by collecting missions to fill ‘the gaps’ in the geographic, environmental and taxonomic range of bentgrass species. The passport database of VIR’s bentgrass collection and electronic maps of the ex-USSR administrative subdivisions served as the material for the research. A total of 176 administrative subdivisions were accepted as operational units and studied. For each of them, the total number of Agrostis spp. and the total number of accessions collected in its territory were taken into account. Among the eleven species collected, A. gigantea was analyzed in more detail. It appeared that the Northwest of the European part of Russia, Western Siberia, Sakhalin Province, and the Republic of Yakutia were most fully explored by collecting teams. However, the taxonomic and population diversity of bentgrass has not practically been mobilized so far in the southern parts of the Non-Black-Soil and Black-Soil zones, Middle and Lower Volga regions, North Caucasus, Eastern Siberia, and the Far East of Russia. Poorly represented in the collection is the taxonomic diversity of wild bentgrass accessions. The Russian Far East, mountainous areas of the Central Asian Republics, and the Northern and Central Urals are of the greatest interest for filling this gap.

Agro-Industrial Complex of the Russian Arctic: Research Contribution to the Value Added Areas

The article deals with the problems of assessing the contribution of the agro-industrial complex to the economy of the Arctic territories. An approach to the definition of the notion “agro-industrial complex” from the point of view of the System of National Accounts is highlighted. The author proposes a method of calculating the value added of economic activities at the municipal level. On this basis, formed a database of wages of all municipalities of the Arctic region of Russia. The author calculated the contribution of agro-industrial complex in gross value added Arctic municipalities in the context of the Russian Federation. The results obtained allow us to highlight the importance of the agro-industrial complex in the economy of municipalities in the Arctic zone of Russia. The agro-industrial complex is of the greatest importance in the economy of the Anabar national region of the Republic of Yakutia and the city of Murmansk. The calculations showed that the added value of the agro-industrial complex for the whole Arctic territories of Russia is 55,821.78 million rubles, and its contribution to the total value added is 1.56%.

ИЗУЧЕНИЕ РАЗНЫХ ДОЗ ВАКЦИНЫ ИЗ ШТАММА B. ABORTUS 82 ДЛЯ ВАКЦИНАЦИИ СЕВЕРНЫХ ОЛЕНЕЙ

According to the official data of the FSBU “ Center Of Veterinary Medicine”, brucellosis is still registered in reindeer herds of the Asian North of the Russian Federation as a whole in Russia in 2019. 48 sites of brucellosis-affected reindeer herds were registered, including 35 in the Sakha Yakutia Republic, 7 in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Region, one in the Taimyr Municipal District and 1 in the Chukchi Autonomous Region. It has been established that without the use of specific prevention measures anti-brucellisis measures in reindeer husbanding farms are not effective. Currently, a vaccine from the low-agglutinogenic strain “B.abortus 82 “is used to immunize reindeer. The purpose of our work is to clarify the optimal dose of the vaccine from the “B.abortus 82”strain based on experimental data on survival, reactogenity, agglutinogenity and duration of intense immunity,when administering different doses of immunopreparate. Based on two controlled experiments, it was established that the optimal dose of the vaccine from the strain “B.abortus 82” can be considered 10 billion m. In this dose, the deer do not have post-vaccination complications, the vaccine strain is well settled in the body of the vac cinated animal and eliminates 30-45 days after administration. The titer agglutinins and complementarity of binding antibodies reaches its maximum by 28 days after immunization and is gradually reduced; 180 days after vaccination agglutinins are registered in minimum credits. Tension of immunity in vaccinated animals was tested by direct infection with the virulent strain, the largest number of immune deer were recorded in 3 and 6 months. after vaccination (65,4 -86.7 % depending on the age group). Only regional infection was reported in infected deer, and the infection index did not exceed 12.8-15.4%.

Григорьев Н.А. Политическая идентичность молодежи в контексте российского федерализма (на материалах Республики Саха (Якутия))

The authors present the results of their research on the political identity of the youth of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in terms of the development of modern Russian federalism. The paper considers the main theoretical approaches to studying the es-sence of federalism, the impact of ethnic and cultur-al factors on it. The research describes the concept of federalism as an ideology having such an im-portant component as the establishment of a feder-alist political culture. To solve this problem, the au-thors investigate the inclusion of people in politics, namely, political socialization. The study identifies the development stages of federative relations in Russia and the role of ethnic republics in the system of relations between the center and the regions. It determines the context of political socialization and youth identity in the ethnic republic of Yakutia. The basic values of the youth political identity are re-viewed as an element of political consciousness. The researchers conclude that in the context of po-litical socialization and the lack of clear social and political guidelines, the youth of Yakutia focuses on the state paternalistic model of relations with the state awaiting help and support from it.
