Рискогенные факторы избирательного процесса в современной России

Relevance of the research topic is based on the change of the focus of development of electoral law and procedure towards creation of reliable guarantees of security of electoral rights of citizens in the conditions of the special military operation, informational and ideological war and sanctions pressure of the West on the Russian Federation. The article reviews risk-posing factors of the electoral procedure, suggests ways to minimize them, to create a legal mechanism to regulate them and to manage such risks with the help of cutting-edge scientific research results. Realities of the elections of the President of the Russian Federation in March 2024 gave birth to new legal regimes for holding thereof: regime of high alert to a situation of emergency and even the state of martial law. However, the applicable laws fail to transform in due time to keep pace with the rapidly changing circumstances, so legal gaps are filled in by election commissions. Arising problems in the border territories were solved quickly thanks in large part to the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation, election commissions of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, supreme officials of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

Observatório territorial em Bahía Blanca e Punta Alta, Argentina, como instrumento para la sustentabilidade

Bahía Blanca and Punta Alta are the most important urban agglomeration in the south of the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, with 300 extensive farmers in their area of influence. In this semi-arid region, wind erosion affects human health in the city, due to suspended dust, and the sustainability of agricultural production, due to soil loss. Faced with this critical territorial problem, the Rural Extension Agency of the National Institute of Agricultural Technology Bahía Blanca has conducted out surveys and interacted with different actors to set up a Territorial Observatory of Local Sustainable Practices. This article aims to describe the levels of information generated in this process, which is still under development, and to assess its usefulness in recognizing transformations towards the use of sustainable practices in the territory. The study adopts an exploratory-descriptive design. Geographic Information Systems maps and the MESMIS method generated information layers. These were socialized and disseminated to contribute to understanding the territorial dynamics in the adoption of sustainable innovations and to reduce the margin of error in the decisions of public-private actors in the territory for its development and sustainability.

Экологический аспект устойчивого развития высокогорных регионов в условиях формирования инновационной экономики

Sustainable development of high-mountain regions is one of the key tasks of the modern world in the context of growing environmental problems and the need to transition to an innovative economy. High-mountain regions, such as the territories of the North Caucasus Federal District (NCFD), are characterized by unique natural conditions, but at the same time they face many environmental challenges associated with active economic activity, climate change and anthropogenic impact. These territories are particularly vulnerable to environmental risks, which requires the development of integrated approaches for their sustainable development. The formation of an innovative economy provides new opportunities for achieving environmental sustainability in high-mountain regions. Innovative technologies and environmentally friendly approaches to production can help reduce the negative impact on the environment, improve the quality of life of the local population and increase the competitiveness of the region. However, the transition to such a development model requires a comprehensive assessment of environmental aspects, which will take into account the specifics of natural conditions, socio-economic factors and the characteristics of the economic activity of these territories. The objective of the study is to analyze current environmental problems of mountainous territories and improve initiatives taken to ensure environmental safety in the context of transition to an economy of advanced scientific and technological development. Research methods. The study was conducted on the basis of dialectical cognition, system and comparative approaches, forecasting, classification, induction and deduction, the method of processing statistical and empirical data. Research results: 1) the state of the territories of the North Caucasus Federal District was analyzed from the point of view of environmental safety; 2) world experience was studied using the example of innovation-oriented countries regarding issues of environmental conservation in the process of increasing production capacities; 3) an analysis of the tools used by government bodies was carried out in order to maintain consensus between the ongoing environmental and innovation policies; 4) innovative ways to solve the problem of ensuring environmental safety in the studied mountainous regions of the country are presented. Conclusion. The study provided a comprehensive analysis of the environmental aspects of sustainable development of the highland regions of the North Caucasus Federal District (NCFD) in the context of the formation of an innovative economy. It was revealed that the environmental situation in most regions of the North Caucasus Federal District remains unfavorable, despite significant investments in improving infrastructure and modernizing production. The main problems are air and water pollution, degradation of agricultural land, accumulation of waste and deterioration of forests. High emissions of pollutants from mobile and stationary sources, discharge of contaminated wastewater and growth in the volume of municipal solid waste have a negative impact on the environmental situation. As a result, the quality of life of the population deteriorates, health risks increase, and the productivity of agricultural land decreases, which has a negative impact on the economy of the region. To solve these problems, it is necessary to implement a comprehensive approach, including the introduction of innovative technologies in industry and agriculture, improving the waste management system, developing environmental monitoring and modernizing production. An important role should be played by government support measures aimed at stimulating environmentally oriented investments and reducing the man-made burden on the environment. China, which is actively developing “green” investments and reducing the negative impact of industrial enterprises, can serve as an example of a successful environmental policy. China’s experience can be useful for Russia in developing long-term environmental safety strategies. Thus, to ensure sustainable development of high-mountain regions in the context of an innovative economy, it is necessary to form a comprehensive system of measures aimed at protecting the environment, improving public health and increasing the competitiveness of the region.

The Problem of Consent with Teledildonics and Adult Webcam Platforms

In this article, I examine some of the dangers that are associated with sex toys known as teledildonics. Unlike more conventional sex toys, teledildonics connect to the internet and allow their users and others to control these devices remotely and often through a Bluetooth connection. While teledildonics introduce new ways of engaging and experiencing sexual pleasure, they do so by risking the personal and sensitive data that such devices transmit and collect from their users. Moreover, I consider the risk that teledildonics pose as connected technologies that can be hacked and controlled, scrutinizing what this means in terms of consent and sexual assault in intimate relationships and on a live adult webcam platform like Chaturbate. I investigate how current legal definitions of consent and sexual assault neglect online sex workers, and especially those who work within a tip and token system like Chaturbate, and question how legal protections can be enforced amidst the jurisdictional and territorial problems that plague cyberspace more broadly. With these lack of protections in place, I build on scholarly research that identifies some of the risks that are associated with teledildonics as technologies of potential sexual assault (Nixon 2018; Sparrow and Karas 2020; Arrell 2022). In specific, I study how Canadian laws are ill-equipped to address the more obscure nature of consent and sexual assault as they pertain to Chaturbate and Lovense devices, a leading teledildonics company.

Alter_azioni: Designing Between Biological and Artifactual. Scenarios for a Short-Term Future

The contribution describes the activities of a teaching and research experience, named Alter_Azioni. It consists of three main parts. Firstly, it introduces the lagoon context as the reference framework used to experiment with a design local based to address the problems of the local territory and the environment. The paper moves on to discuss the design approach proposed to the students, contextualizing research and experiences based on the needs of the region and its inhabitants, through the exploration of a possible balance between the biological approach and the artifactual one. Furthermore, it summarizes some references about these issues, in order to gain a deeper insight into the chances or the pitfalls of this project. The second part provides an overview of the possible design range of concerns scenarios for a short-term future, focusing on the design projects developed and mapping them following three paths. Finally, in the third part, a look back points out what has been experienced as possible alternative scenarios.

Ecocriminological analysis of brine in aquatic ecosystems: impacts on Posidonia oceanica and the search for restorative justice solutions.

The consumption of fresh water has generated additional problems in certain territories, along with the consequences of global warming. This has meant that in the most vulnerable areas, such as the Balearic archipelago in the Mediterranean, alternative water supply systems have been established: desalination plants. However, the ecological impact of these infrastructures is great, mainly affecting aquatic ecosystems. In light of the above, this paper addresses the ecological harm caused by desalination and brine discharges on a protected and priority species, P. Oceanica. Taking as ethico-legal foundation the theory of ecological justice, a multilevel analysis was carried out from an ecocriminology perspective on the impacts of this authorized practice on P. Oceanica and other species. Finally, a restorative justice view will allow us to understand and envision possible solutions to this ecological harm.

Світовий досвід використання інструментарію для реалізації проєктної діяльності в публічному управлінні просторовим розвитком територій

The spatial development of territories in Ukraine, in particular in the context of the introduction of decentralization principles into the public administration system, is characterized by the identification of an additional wide range of internal and external factors and problems of functioning in various spheres of society, as well as the actuation of issues regarding the need to find and implement more effective instruments that can solve them. Domestic experience in overcoming various kinds of territorial problems is limited and insufficient, therefore, the study of the best foreign theories and practices in this regard, including the use of instruments for the implementation of project activities, as well as the analysis of opportunities for their implementation, remains relevant. In the context of the spatial development of territories, project activities can be considered as a purposeful system of actions organized by any public governance entities or established in the process of their interaction with each other, aimed both at solving a specific territorial problem and at stimulating the development of various spheres of community life, involving a wide range of mechanisms and instruments for managing spatial development based on planning, financing and implementation of a specific project in order to achieve the final result. The article provides an analysis of the global and European experiences in the use of an instrumentarium for the implementation of project activities in public management of spatial development of territories; approaches are generalized and features of the use of projects depending on the priorities of spatial development, individual characteristics and the presence of territorial problems within each country are determined; the possibilities and relevance of using positive examples of the implementation of multidirectional project activities in the process of managing the spatial development of territories in Ukraine, which is expedient in the period of their post-war recovery, are considered. Acquaintance with the global and European experiences of formation by individual countries, in accordance with national characteristics and the chosen model of development, of priority goals, objectives, mechanisms and instruments of territorial management will allow using positive achievements and, on the basis of the formed strategic directions, introducing effective instruments, in particular for the implementation of project activities, support and stimulation of the development of their own territories, taking into account the characteristics inherent in Ukraine.

Methods. When preparing the article, general and special methods of scientific research are used, in particular, the method of retrospective analysis and synthesis - to generalize the main theoretical approaches to the formation and implementation of the local socio-economic development program and the order of its development; dialectical method - for a comprehensive study of relations between state administrations and local authorities; graphoanalytical – for a schematic representation of the theoretical and practical provisions of the research; method of system analysis - to determine the priority directions of reforming the socio-economic development program by the local authorities of a specific territorial community. Results. The definition of «local program of economic and social development» is studied, in particular according to the term, as well as the concepts of «regional development program» and «budget programs», which are closely related to the local program of socio-economic development. It is proved that the principles of development of local socio-economic development programs are defined as the expected achievements based on the results of the implementation of a complex of interrelated tasks and measures aimed at solving the most important issues of the development of the united territorial community. Analytical studies of the results of the implementation of the Social Protection Program for certain categories of Kryvyi Rih residents and the dynamics of the total amount of funding under this program for 2018-2022 are out. It is determined that in order to implement the measures of the Program for the Perspective Development of Education in Kryvyi Rih for 2019-2024, free meals are provided to pupils and children from large families in general education institutions of the city, children from student families in preschool institutions of the city, children whose parents were involved or killed or went missing as a result of the events in the East of Ukraine. It is noted that culture, the financing of which is provided for by the legislation of Ukraine from the local budget, is of no less importance for the development of Kryvyi Rih in the humanitarian sphere.. Special attention is paid to the Program for the reimbursement of part of the loans provided by the association of co-owners of apartment buildings and housing and construction cooperatives for the implementation of energy-efficient measures in the housing sector for 2016-2023. It is emphasized that for the purpose of social support of all categories of citizens of Ukraine who are in the territory of the Kryvyi Rih urban territorial community, during the period of martial law in Ukraine, and to increase their social security, free travel in public municipal public transport is introduced in the city.

It is emphasized that the chosen Strategy provides for the provision of coordinated joint actions of local executive bodies and local self-government bodies in the conditions of a military/post-war state in order to implement a unified state policy for the development of Ukraine at the district level. The authors formulate strategic directions for effective and efficient implementation of Kryvyi Rih Socio-Economic Development Program for 2023-2025 based on the principles of developing local socio-economic development programs, namely: decentralization of management; development of interregional cooperation; implementation of a system for identifying and assessing priority social problems of a certain territory; optimization of state management structures and procedures; implementation of an active resource strategy by bodies of executive power and local self-government; promotion of public activity and development of various forms of self-organization of the population; raising the level of social culture and education of employees of state administration and local authorities, deputies of all levels.

ДАЛЬНИЙ ВОСТОК КАК ОБЪЕКТ РЕГИОНАЛЬНОЙ ПОЛИТИКИ В СОВРЕМЕННОЙ РОССИИ

The regional policy of modern Russia is a special area, which is influenced by the processes taking place in the international arena. Economic flows, trade agreements, deliveries of various goods and materials were reoriented to Asian countries, which determined the special attention of the government to the development of the Far Eastern territory. The relevance of the topic is due to the modern orientation of the economy towards Asian countries, which makes the Far East a key region in the system of trade and partnership relations. The purpose of the work is to consider the features of conducting regional policy in the Far Eastern Federal District. At the same time, it should be taken into account that, in general, the Far East is one of the key and at the same time problematic regions of the country. The Government of the Russian Federation seeks to increase the population of the region, solves its economic and territorial problems and conducts various programs to optimize the development of the region. However, problems persist. The article will consider the key guidelines for the policy of the Russian government in the development of the Far Eastern territory. In conclusion, the areas of economic activity of interest to the government are presented, as well as promising areas for further development of the regional economy in accordance with trade relations with the countries of Asia and the Middle East.

GÜRCİSTAN EKONOMİSİNİN TEMEL ZORLUKLARI VE GÜRCİSTAN-AB İLİŞKİLERİNİN GENİŞLEMESİ ÜZERİNE BEKLENTİLER

The association agreement between the EU and Georgia (the country) was signed as early as 2014 and this agreement fully entered into force in July 2016. The agreement represents the foundation for political association and economic integration. Just now, Georgia made one more step towards Europe. On November 8, 2023, the European Commission gave the recommendation on granting Georgia the status of candidate. Besides the fact that it is an important event of political significance, the economic benefits also should be mentioned. Many economists in Georgia mention this in their assessments though there are the opposite views. Some of the Georgian economists consider this opinion as excessive. The European Union, based on common values, supports the peace and stability for Georgia, as well as the necessity of the programs for the political and economic reforms needed for social and economic development of the country. Granting the status of the candidate is a guarantee for the well-being of the country. It will have positive influences on investments, exports, and broader marketing between the European countries and Georgia. This is the aim for Georgia to which the country has been aspiring for several years. Besides the above-mentioned, we see that the EU firmly supports Georgia, in its territorial integrity. The EU is involved in the solution of the territorial problems existing with the self-announced regions of Abkhazia and so-called South Ossetia. Georgia has prolonged territorial conflicts with the mentioned regions. Beginning in the year 2008, the monitoring process is working on the territory near the administrative borders. The 1st of October 2023, was the date of the 15th anniversary of the European mission working in the region.

Digital Technologies in the Tourism Economy: Project “The Lomonosov Way”

The most important task of the modern Russian economy is the transition to new principles of work, digital platforms and technologies that can provide a comprehensive, complete and efficient relationship between market participants, the state and society. The purpose of this work is to develop a universal digital platform for working in the field of tourism on the example of the tourist project “The Lomonosov Way”. The work uses the methods of the digital economy, the original digital platform NBICS.NET, which makes it possible to systematize the solution of social, environmental and economic problems of the territories, the provision of tourism services in digital and analog, online and offline formats. NBICS.NET tools make it possible to apply AI, IoT and VR/AR/MR technologies, create a set of requirements and professional standards for the sustainable and high-quality provision of tourism services, and provide green technologies at all stages and processes of tourism projects. This ensures respect for people and the natural environment, the solution of social, environmental and economic problems of deep territories, stimulating the impact on the transformation of villages, towns and cities participating in the project and included in the digital platform. The presented project, associated with the great Russian thinker Mikhail Lomonosov, combines the history of science and education in Russia over the past 300 years in conjunction with the life of the peoples of the country, thereby realizing a conceptually new form of education for the younger generation. The platform can become a basis and a digital universal solution for creating similar tourism products in other regions and countries, uniting peoples with a humanitarian meaning.

This article analyzes the economic and organizational measures to support entrepreneurship in Uzbekistan in recent years, the benefits granted by the state to small businesses and private entrepreneurs, and their results.

Sovereignty as an environmental practice: the problem of territoriality and anthropocentrism

The article is a theoretical study of state sovereignty. By looking at the concept in a different way from traditional methods, it tries to discern whether sovereignty is necessarily antithetical to a sustainable world. Emphasis is put on its territoriality and anthropocentrism – both of which make it into a major obstacle when tackling global and transnational environmental problems. State sovereignty is analyzed as an environmental practice of the state, which allows for the control of resources to be used by capital. The analysis is conducted using theoretical and conceptual critique as the main method. It is based on various sources ranging from critical geopolitics and critical geography to political science and political ecology, including the concept of Capitalocene. As long as sovereignty remains utilized by the state in service to capital, it will be used to cement its ability to control space and extract resources. However, a different kind of sovereignty is imaginable and therefore the institution itself is neither friend nor enemy to environmental politics. This new understanding of sovereignty opens up new avenues for theoretical research in political ecology and International Relations, bridging the gap between traditional state-centric approaches and the transboundary nature of ecological problems.

Consideration of analytics of city brand modeling in the context of post-war development of Ukrainian territories

The object of the article is the formation of marketing priorities for the successful development of a domestic city. The subject of the article is analytical tools for modeling the city brand. The article analyzes the current problems of branding territories in the context of intensified competition for resources and factors of production in postwar Ukraine. The authors consider the city's brand to be a kind of unique resource that will play an important role in the competition of territories. That is why, in the process of post-war development of domestic cities, the strategic vision of which should be formed now, even before the end of the war, it is necessary to identify the elements of the urban environment that will form the basis of the city's brand. The need to develop a city's (territory's) brand, taking into account the new reality, actualizes the scientific search in this direction. The research methodology is based on the fundamental provisions of the theory of branding and spatial identification, as well as the theory of stakeholders and its working tool – stakeholder analysis. The peculiarities of identifying stakeholders in the city development, their systematization and assessment using the tools of stakeholder analysis are determined. The approaches to the formation, definition and organization of the needs of the territory, taking into account the strategic context, are substantiated. The formalization of stakeholder behavior practices through the use of theoretical game models is recommended. The results of the analysis of the possibilities of using international ratings for the development of territorial (primarily urban) branding strategies are presented. The main trends in urban innovation, which focus on the creation of «smart» cities in post-war Ukraine, are outlined. The results obtained outline a set of complementary analytical methods and tools, the practical use of which will make it possible to modernize the branding of domestic territories. The proposed approach to the formation of a city brand based on the introduction of stakeholder analysis with appropriate tools can play an important role as a basis for creating effective methods of territory brand management. As well as the formation of strategies for their development, taking into account the strengths and weaknesses and development potential for the growth of the welfare of the population of the territory and Ukraine as a whole.

Initiative budgeting as a mechanism for raising the quality of life of the population

The sufficiency of social infrastructure facilities and their effective functioning in a particular area is one of the conditions for improving the quality of life of the population. The financial insufficiency of regional and local budgets actualizes the search for new tools to raise funds for the development of territorial infrastructure that ensures creation of decent living conditions for the population. One of these tools is mechanism of initiative budgeting. The results of the study showed a contradiction between the recognition of the undoubted advantages of this mechanism (solving acute territorial problems, leverage on the authorities, creating a platform for dialogue) in the assessments of the population and the lack of readiness of residents to be included in new financial initiatives. The key limitations to the implementation of initiative budgeting projects are the following: lack of information support, low level of awareness of residents about the problems of territorial development, distancing from local self-government practices. The results of the study showed that the majority of respondents are ready to get involved in solving the socio-economic problems of the territory if they affect the personal interests of individuals. Under the current conditions, it seems necessary to improve information and communication activities aimed at popularizing the mechanism of initiative budgeting, building social cohesion of local communities, developing the territorial identity of citizens, integrating the efforts of the authorities and the population in solving socially significant problems of the territory.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Territory and Demographic Processes: A View from Spanish Rural and Urban Areas

The current physiognomy and problems of rural and urban territories in Spain are directly related to the demographic processes linked to the rural exodus of the 1960s. In the year 2020, a new problem and/or conditioning factor arose, COVID-19, which has modified dynamics, routines, and aspects of the daily life of the population. The objectives of this research are to check whether there are differences in the effect of COVID-19 between urban and rural municipalities and, in turn, to analyse the demographic dynamics of the population between 2020 and 2022, as well as territorial distribution patterns. To this end, population data were extracted from the Population Register and Residential Variation data for the period 2010 and 2022 and demographic and statistical calculations (Student’s t-test and Pearson’s correlation) were carried out. Among the main results, it is observed that COVID-19 has less of an effect in Spanish rural areas. Moreover, these areas show a positive demographic trend for the period 2020–2022. Population growth has had a direct influence on the improvement of demographic data, although with differences according to autonomous communities. This fact represents a break in the trend in rural areas, but is beginning to show signs of exhaustion and a return to the pre-pandemic trend.

ПРОБЛЕМИ АДАПТАЦІЇ ПРОМИСЛОВИХ БУДІВЕЛЬ ПІД НОВІ ФУНКЦІЇ (ГОТЕЛІ)

n accordance with the socio-economic processes that preceded the reconsideration of urban spaces associated with the formation of a post-industrial society, destructive non-functional areas were formed in the structure of modern cities. The loss of primary production function by industrial enterprises has led to a significant deterioration of the architectural and urban planning, ecological and social situation in our cities in general. Therefore, the renovation problem of industrial territories has become an thorny issue, in particular, the identification of ways to harmonize these territories by rethinking and updating industrial buildings. The term renovation refers to the adaptive use of buildings, structures, facilities and changes in their functional purpose.The subject is the hotel function in industrial buildings, realized as a result of the change of the original purpose of the building, like a sign of continuity and functional diversity. The article pays attention to both the favorable conditions and positive consequences of the operation of hotels in industrialbuildings, as well as the negative aspects and threats that arise in connection with the use of industrial areas in general.The city of Vinnytsia has great potential for renovation measures of industrial facilities, which today has in its structure a significant amount of the territory of former enterprises that have lost their original function. One of these places is the former factory of tractor units on the street Batozkiy. Therefore, the issue of responsive use and refunctionalization, in particular to the hotel, of former industrial buildings is a priority

Introduction. T he sphere of ski tourism is one of the priorities of state policy, which is expressed in the following factors: comprehensive restructuring of the tourism sector; development of large infrastructure projects; introduction of a mandatory system of classification of tourist facilities by location; formation of new ski trails and beaches. The strategic direction of the development of the ski tourism sector within the framework of the development of internal and external travel is the growth of consolidation of all territories of the Russian Federation, based on the development of transport infrastructure, purposeful activity of the state, establishing the principles and amounts of fees for various services, transportation of passengers and cargo, export and import of goods, subsidizing interregional transportation. The purpose of the study is to determine the strategic priorities for the development of ski tourism in the world and Russia. Materials and methods of research. Theoretical foundations of the Russian school of strategizing, general logical research methods, system and situational approaches, modeling of economic processes. Research results and discussion. The study identified the main problems and ways to solve them within the framework of sustainable development of the mountainous territories of Russia. It is determined that with global transformation processes, the country has a wide range of opportunities for the development of tourist territories, while it is necessary to develop comprehensive programs for the development of the tourism industry, effective marketing solutions in the context of strengthening the interaction of the country's tourist facilities with international tourist markets. Conclusion. Comprehensive solutions to the key problems of mountain territories require the development of a unified system of classification and accessibility of tourist information, the creation of a modern regulatory framework for tourism development, the formation of large ski complexes and territories that operate all year round and are accessible to the average citizen, the development of environmental aspects in the tourism sector.
