Some Problems of Environmental Security of Territory of Oil and Gas Complex of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)

Oil and gas complexes sometimes use a method of cleaning soils from oil pollutions by covering polluted area with ground. An analysis of five years monitoring has shown that such method not only does not remove oil pollution, but also prevents further soil remediation using effective cleaning methods such as bioremediation, due to the absence at a depth of air oxygen and solar radiation which are necessary conditions for the life of hydrocarbon-oxidizing microorganisms. As a result oil pollution with thawed water annually seeps back to the soil surface, which leads to secondary environmental pollution by oil hydrocarbons.

Analysis of the Influence of Submarine Operational Capabilities on the State of Deterrence

Indonesia is an archipelagic state whose territory lies in a cross position between two continents and two oceans. So that Indonesia has the authority to maintain the security of its maritime territory, starting from regulating its shipping lanes to maintaining sovereignty in all of Indonesia's sea areas. Indonesia's threats have been identified as coming from neighboring countries, namely Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and China. Increasing escalation in the South China Sea area, Efforts to support Indonesian territorial security, submarines currently owned must be able to become a deterrent against potential threats both from within and from outside and be able to operate in all Indonesian waters. The hypothesis in this study is if the operational capability of the submarine increases the country's deterrence system. The methodology used is descriptive quantitative using software SPSS 25 and Microsoft Excel 2013 with data analysis techniques using multivariate correlation. The effect of submarine operational capability on the country's deterrence is 86.6% that implies submarine operational capability has strong influence.

An Intuitionistic Linguistic DEMATEL-Based Network Model for Effective National Defense and Force Innovative Project Planning

The COVID-19 pandemic will accelerate the shift toward multipolarity, and will have major long-term impacts on territorial security within the Indo-Pacific. In addition, COVID-19 is likely to have a long-term effect on risk evaluation in the Indo-Pacific states. Therefore, it is vital to oversee and execute remedial activities quickly and successfully, amid the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper proposes a national defense and military budget planning strategy. It applies a decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory linguistic data strategy for group decision-making, in order to collect group opinions and analyze the causal relationship of complicated social science issues in indistinct situations. These concepts are divided into causal and impact groups, to provide an improved understanding of the relationship among them, as well as making recommendations to improve their general execution. This paper employed the fuzzy DEMATEL method to analyze the model and considered suggestions as the key influencing factors in budget planning strategy. Through this well-constructed fuzzy DEMATEL approach our research results show that a proper operations strategy and management of both resource usage and task arrangement in accordance with policy making will accomplish excellent budget planning strategy results. The results reveal that the Mission Requirement is a major causal factor. The study can provide a successful national defense and military budget strategy assessment with satisfactory criteria that fit the decision-makers’ requirements, particularly when the assessment criteria are various and entwined. We offer recommendations for government authorities to plan national defense and military budget planning strategies.

СОВРЕМЕННЫЕ ПОДХОДЫ К ФОРМИРОВАНИЮ ЭКОЛОГО-ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКОЙ ТЕОРИИ

The transformation processes taking place in the economic and social spheres of society determine, on the one hand, the prospects for economic growth, and on the other, the prerequisites for the emergence of new risks associated with the environmental and social security of states and individual territories. Therefore, we believe that in the current conditions of socio-economic development of both individual territories and socio-economic spaces as a whole, one of the main imperatives for the economic growth of territorial systems should be considered the influence of the environmental factor that determines the possibility of full-fledged life activity of society taking into account the preservation and development of the gene pool of the nation and the rational use of natural resources.

Rational use of the natural potential of subarctic regions for sustainable territorial development

The issues of food security and sustainable development of territories are of particular relevance nowadays. From this perspective, analyzing the sustainable use of the natural potential of regions is a priority for the global scientific community. The challenges of improving food security and achieving sustainable territorial development in the subarctic regions are particularly significant against the backdrop of ongoing changes in the natural and climatic conditions. Sustainable development of the subarctic regions requires the sustainable use of natural resources, preservation of natural potential, access to natural and cultural treasures, and consideration of the interests and opinions of the population and businesses in the planning of the social and economic development of the territories. This paper presents a plan for the establishment of a peasant (farm) enterprise located in the subarctic region. The profitability of the peasant (farm) enterprise in question was 18%, with a payback period of 5.5 years. The results of the study can be used in the implementation of regional SME development programmes.

The species shows significant tolerance to adverse factors and tends to increase in number. It is satisfactorily provided with territorial security The data presented in the article fully justify the possibility of excluding the species Trifolium alpestre from the list of the Red Data Book of the Republic of Bashkortostan and including it in the regional list of species that need biomonitoring – «List of flora and fungi objects that are not included in the Red Book of the Republic of Bashkortostan, but need special attention on the territory of the republic to their state in the natural environment and monitoring».

Математические основы стохастического моделирования многокомпонентных рисков в системах обеспечения безопасности

Introduction. It is shown that the development of methods for modeling multicomponent risks is a promising direction for improving information and analytical support for control in security systems. The purpose of the study is to develop new approaches to the study of natural, technogenic and anthropogenic risks based on stochastic modeling of the structure of multicomponent risks in socio-technical systems. Methods of stochastic modeling are based on a matrix representation of risk components, detailing the states of the protected object and the probabilistic characteristics of the functioning of security systems. Results and discussion. A method for analyzing multicomponent risks is presented, reflecting in-depth detailing of the states of the protected object and the probabilistic characteristics of the functioning of security systems. A stochastic model has been built that describes the structure of risk as a result of the interaction of two components, a multiplier and an accelerator, associated with various elements of the model, which, respectively, determine the possibility of occurrence of dangerous events, as well as the degree of vulnerability of protected objects. A connection is established between the indicators of expected losses in a certain territory with the presence of forces, means and systems of protection against the effects of hazardous factors and their current state. The procedures for determining the main parameters of the proposed stochastic model based on statistical and expert methods are discussed. A mathematical toolkit has been created for comparative analysis of the effectiveness of measures to reduce risks in socio-technical systems. The problem of multicriteria combinatorial optimization of planned costs and distribution of financial, material, technical and labor resources in territorial security systems is formulated. Conclusions. Methods for modeling multicomponent risks can be used to create effective algorithms for supporting risk-oriented management in security systems. Key words: stochastic modeling, multicomponent risk, socio-technical system, risk management, security system.

CLIMATE CHANGE VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT FOR AMERICAN SAMOA: FOCUS ON TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE

Essential transportation infrastructure around the globe will be increasingly compromised by interrelated climate change impacts. Due to geographic isolation and limited natural resources, the economy and security of many Pacific territories and nations, including American Samoa, depend heavily on the resilience of these transportation infrastructure systems. Of particular relevance are the coastal impacts of climate changes such as sea level rise and storm surges which will threaten transportation infrastructure including both temporary and long-term flooding of airports, ports and harbors, and roads which are vital lifelines for trans-Pacific, interisland, and intra-island commerce and community services. The majority of the transportation assets in American Samoa are along a narrow coastal plain backed by steep topography, precluding relocation or retreat in response to increased coastal flooding accompanying a changing climate.Recorded Presentation from the vICCE (YouTube Link): https://youtu.be/k-qJPMVwvVc

Ensuring food security through the development of acreage in the northern regions of the Russian Federation

Agricultural development is a determining factor in ensuring food security in the territories in the context of the global pandemic and the winding up of globalization. A key factor in agricultural development, crop production, as well as related industries is the development of cultivated areas, especially in those regions that have poor climatic conditions. The use and expansion of sown areas is considered one of the factors of food security for the sustainable development of territories with a predominance of cold climate. The foundation is created for a stable agricultural market and less dependence on food products from other regions providing an increase in sown area. The development of this direction creates a certain control of the territories, the importance of which is significantly enhanced in the context of the ongoing processes of global warming and climate change. Sown area indicators, being the main production fund of the agrarian economy, contribute to the development of the entire agricultural sector of the country, providing crop products not only for the food industry, but also livestock, creating additional opportunities for agricultural growth in the region. The paper presents the results of the analysis of the Republic of Karelia, Komi and Murmansk region. The sown areas of regions of different sizes were studied not only by absolute growth indicators, but also relative and average indicators were calculated to improve coverage of the state of the areas. A forecast for the medium-term development perspective was proposed, recommendations were formulated to ensure sustained development for the medium-term prospect in order to ensure food security and economic development of relevant territories.

Conceptual Framework and Applicability of National Security: A Case Study of Pakistan

The first and foremost essential task for any state is to secure its national security and integrity. This paper explores the fundamental essentials of national security such as territorial integrity, internal and external sovereignty, socio-political stability, economic solidity, cultural cohesiveness, and national solidarity. The objectives of this research work are to investigate the significance and applicability of national security for any state. This research is based on content analysis. This case study of Pakistan is selected to investigate the essential elements, internal and external elements of security in Pakistan in the light of the framework of security at the global level. The current study indicated that the notion of National Security had reformed in the 21st century. Now National Security interpretation will be elaborated from different threats such as territorial security, sovereignty, and economic, social, political, and environmental security. The research explores that contrary to external threats, Pakistan is facing internal threats such as political contradictions, ethnic origins, sectarianism, and militant organizations that also troubled the security situation.

Changing Priorities for Strategic Planning from National to Territorial Levels

This article deals with new aspects of Competitive and Strategic Intelligence applied to territorial development. Priority is given to the epigenetic role of information in enabling institutions and people to move toward new visions and new methods of thinking. Territorial security is also examined as well as different examples and how they might be implemented. Competitive and Strategic Intelligence at the territorial level must be added to already well-known methods and tools, which are all ways to develop projects linked to the ‘commons’ and well-perceived by residents. This study also emphasizes the need to explain, demonstrate, and openly present the options for territorial development to reach the widest possible consensus. A special note has been added to the introduction, since during the writing of this paper the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak has exposed details about the economic, social, and political life and challenges that the actors of Competitive and Strategic Intelligence face while seeking new approaches and a new vision of its role.

Модели окупаемости субсидий в аграрном бизнесе

The problem of payback of subsidies in agricultural industry due to obligatory payments in the budgetary system of the country rises. It is shown that the minority of this problem for the state is caused by the social and economic importance of the industry for society and inaccuracy of opinion on low budgetary efficiency of allocations in agricultural production. The technique of assessment of efficiency of use of funds of state support from a position of the state financial system is proved. On the basis of the analysis it is revealed that at creating favorable conditions of development of producers not only prerequisites of ensuring food security and preservation of rural territories, but recoverability of means due to obligatory payments in the budget and off-budget funds are formed. By means of the constructed models the optimum ratio of payback of subsidies and profitability of costs of production taking into account conditions of simple and expanded reproduction of resources without loss of cost of the budgetary investments is revealed. The importance of results of a research consists in the revealing opportunities of planning of efficiency of use of the raised funds in production of agricultural products both for agrarian business, and for the state.

Обеспечение экономической безопасности территорий в контексте оценки рыночного потенциала развития предпринимательских сегментов «зеленой» экономики

The article proposes a methodological approach to assessing and ensuring the economic security of the federal districts of the Russian Federation by stimulating the growth of market potential for the development of entrepreneurial segments of the green economy. The aim of the work is to substantiate the place and role of instruments of the "green" economy in ensuring the economic security of territories. The original system of indicators for assessing the market potential for the development of entrepreneurial segments of the green economy has been substantiated. Based on the method of integral analysis, the values of the integral indicators of the development potential of entrepreneurial segments of the green economy and economic security of each federal district of the Russian Federation were obtained, the rating of districts was compiled, and a comparative analysis of the assessment of their positions in the corresponding matrix space was performed. In conclusion, it was noted that the proposed methodological approach to assessing and ensuring the economic security of federal districts by stimulating the growth of market potential for the development of entrepreneurial segments of the green economy allows us to identify stimulating and disincentive factors for the sustainable development of territories to develop targeted measures to support the green economy, taking into account the existing regional differentiation. The recommendations presented in this work can be used in developing directions for stimulating the development of a green economy in order to ensure the economic security of territories.
