Urban reorganization and development of Baikal macro-region

One of the most important areas of spatial development of Russia is the innovative development of the territories of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, which is reflected in the main documents of strategic planning - the forecast of socio-economic development of the Russian Federation for the period until 2030 [1]; Strategies for the innovative development of the Russian Federation for the period until 2020 [2]; Federal Law “On Territories of Advancement of Socio-Economic Development in the Russian Federation” [3].With the formation of the Baikal macro-region, which includes the Irkutsk region, the Republic of Buryatia and the Trans-Baikal Territory, the role of the natural territory of Lake Baikal becomes the cornerstone. Without understanding the resettlement tasks in this area of Lake Baikal, it is impossible to implement the package of measures provided for by the Law on the Protection of Lake Baikal of May 1, 1992 No. 94-ΦD3 [4] and the Federal Target Program “Protection of Lake Baikal and the Socio-Economic Development of the Baikal Natural Territory for 2012-2020” [5]. Determination of the basic principles of the organization of urban planning systems in the Baikal and Trans-Baikal regions, and, above all, in their systemic core, the Baikal Natural Territory, is an extremely urgent urban planning problem..

Line breeding of sheep when creating a new type of Transbaikal breed

The role of line breeding in fine-wool sheep husbandry is shown. Productivity indicators of fine-wool sheep of Transbaikal breed of Khangil type, in the conditions of Trans-Baikal Territory are presented. Four inbred lines were created in the Khangil type of Transbaikal breed, which are distinguished by increased indicators of wool and meat productivity, as well as high wool indicators. These are lines No 616, 8351, 8099, 8349. The positive effect of the new lines on the improvement of productive qualities in the herd of fine-wool sheep of Transbaikal breed of Khangil type was revealed. Line-bred rams exceeded their peers in live weight by 0.5–3.5%, amount of washed wool shorn – 7.2–23.8% (p ˂ 0.01), yield of washed wool – 2.2–6.5 abs.%, wool length – 1.0–8.0%, wool coefficient – 1.7–11.5 g per 1 kg of live weight. Moreover, animals of line No 8351 differ from individuals of other lines in the increased density of wool fibers and significantly finer wool (p ˂ 0.05), corresponding to the 64th quality. Lines No 8099 and 8349 are represented by large individuals with high indicators of live weight and wool productivity, lines No 616 and 8351 are characterized by an increased amount of wool shorn combined with good growth and development indicators. Line-bred ewes exceed the breed standard in live weight by 12.5–24.3%, and the amount of shorn washed wool by 33.8– 40.7%. The length of hair was 9.3–9.6 cm, the proportion of animals with fine wool of 64th quality was 80.1–86.0%. The lines are maintained by selection of ewes both related and unrelated to the ram (line extension) that meet the requirements of the desired type and characteristics of the line.

Oilseed radish in single- and multi-crop sowings with poaceous crops

The results of field and laboratory research for 2015–2017 are presented and analyzed on the cultivation of traditional and uncommon poaceous crops. Recognized varieties of barley, oats, and millet were studied in single-crop sowings and intercropped with a high-protein cabbage crop – oilseed radish. The research was conducted on meadow chernozem mealy-carbonate soil in the forest-steppe zone of Trans-Baikal Territory. Agricultural technology used for fodder crop cultivation was common for this area. The objects of the research were the following varieties: barley Anna, oats Metis, millet Bystroe, oilseed radish Tambovchanka. The experimental work was carried out in accordance with the generally accepted guidelines for field experiments. Poaceous crops and oilseed radish were assessed in terms of their adaptability to growing conditions and their economically valuable characteristics that ensure sustainable production of high-energy feed. In multi-crop agrocenoses of poaceous crops and oilseed radish, the yield increased and the quality of feed raw material improved. The best results of multi-crop sowings were achieved by oats and millet intercropped with oilseed radish. The yield of green mass was 38.8-39.7 t/ha, dry matter content – 4.88-4.90 t/ha, digestible protein – 810820 kg/ha, and gross energy – 46.3-52.2 GJ/ha with availability of digestible protein – 180-186 g per one feed unit. Multi-crop sowings of oats and millet with radish oilseed are more productive than single-crop poaceous agrocenoses in feed units by 1.5-1.7 times, digestible protein by 2.9-3.3 times, gross energy by 1.2-1.6 times, with 10.5-10.7 MJ of exchangeable energy in one kilogram of dry matter.

Demographic Behavior of the Population of the Trans-Baikal Territory

The article introduces the results of the study of selected aspects of the reproductive behavior of the population of the Trans-Baikal Territory at the current stage. The objective of the study is to analyze the trends in the border region in population reproduction, age-related structural changes, issues of transformation in the institution of family and marriage.The novelty of this research work is in the performed regional demographic analysis of the reproductive behavior of Trans-Baikal Territory residents compared to all-Russian indicators and data by the federal districts. The authors revealed the fact that the reproductive indicators as applied to the population in the Trans-Baikal Territory are characterized by the best values, however, this level is reached mainly through the Buryat and Tatar ethnic groups. The Slavic ethnic group, though most numerous in the region, has the lowest potential for the expanded reproduction of the population. Depopulation processes in the Territory are less pronounced, however, a decrease in the proportion of young people and an increase in older able-bodied ages are already evident in 1/4 of the Trans-Baikal Territory. Seemingly high fertility rates in the region are associated with the realization of reproductive potentials in the population born in the 1970s and 1980s and have a short-term effect.The authors established that the observed trends in the age structure of the female population of the fertile age of the Trans-Baikal Territory are similar to transformations in the country, but with a lesser regression degree. At the present stage, they cause a shift in the main demographic burden on a group of women aged 25 to 29 years, whose share in the total female population of reproductive age is declining. Concerning the matrimonial (marriage) behavior of the population in the Trans-Baikal Territory, a greater regression of family-marriage relations is observed. The transformation of family values has recently been reflected in an increasing number of divorces in the region.It is the authors’ opinion, that the depletion of demographic resources of the border region reduces the level of its demographic security and makes the regions’ border space more «permeable», which also affects the countries’ economic security.

The social hygienic evaluation of condition of system of maternity and childhood care at the regional level

The maternal and child welfare system development is the priority target for state social policy. The strategic objectives of health care are targeted to preserving health of mother and child and are implemented through complex activities of various state institutions of maternity and childhood protection system with predominant focus on medical social and economic efficiency. The purpose of study is sociological hygienic evaluation of actual state of maternity and childhood health protection system at the Trans-Baikal Territory. The study used sanitary-statistical, sociological, structural, organizational, expert methods. The estimation of reliability of difference of dependent samples with qualitative indicators was carried out on the basis of the calculation of the non-parametric Cochran test. According to the results of expert assessment, the most significant problem areas in the system of maternity and childhood health protection at the regional level were identified: material and technical equipment of medical organizations, scarce staffing of medical organizations, lack of legal regulation, inadequate organization of medical care of children within the framework of implementation of procedures of provision of medical care, limited availability of medical care, declarative nature of the order of interdepartmental interaction of medical organizations with state social institutions in the system of maternal and child health protection. The established problem areas have negative impact on medical and demographic indicators, coefficients of health of the population in the region and result in decreasing in medical, social and economic efficiency of health care system. The current situation requires adoption of organizational and managerial decisions by executive authorities.

Epidemiological Situation on Tick-Borne Rickettsioses in the Russian Federation in 2010–2019 and Prognosis for 2020

Objective of the study was to analyze the incidence of Siberian tick-borne typhus (STBT) in the Russian Federation between 2010 and 2019, Astrakhan spotted fever (ASF) and Mediterranean fever (MF) since official registration, and forecast the development of the epidemic process for endemic rickettsioses for 2020. Materials and methods. The analysis of the incidence of STBT, ASF and MF in the Russian Federation over the period of 2010–2019, 2013–2019 and 2014–2019, respectively, in relation to the results of zoological-entomological monitoring. Results and discussion. The average long-term incidence rate of STBT for 2010–2019 in the Russian Federation on the whole was 1.1 0 /0000 (DI95 1.05÷1.08) without trends towards change. The maximum relative incidence of STBT is typical for the Siberian Federal District (SFD) where the average long-term incidence rate for 2010–2019 amounted to 6.28 per 100 thousand of the population. In the second place is the Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD) – 5.17 0 /0000, in third – the Ural Federal District (UFD) – 0.1 0 /0000. When assessing the 10‑year dynamics of the relative incidence of STBT, we have revealed a significant tendency to increase in the FEFD, a tendency to stabilize in the SFD and a significant downward trend – in the UFD. A reliable increasing trend in STBT incidence was detected in the Altai Republic and in the Khabarovsk Territory. Major decline in STBT incidence was observed in the Trans-Baikal territory, Krasnoyarsk territory, Kurgan Region and the Republic of Khakassia. There is a marked tendency to increase in the incidence of MF in the Republic of Crimea. In the Astrakhan Region and the Republic of Kalmykia, there is an expressed tendency towards the reduction in the ASF morbidity rates.

INSTITUTIONAL CHANGES IN THE ECONOMY OF THE FAR EAST: IMITATION OF A NEW STAGE

The manifestations and consequences of the search for new impulses of the socio-economic development of the Russian Far East, confirming the invariability of the course towards the creation of new development institutions have been considered. The management decisions made in terms of their economic efficiency and implementation prospects have been evaluated. The actions of the transfer of the «capital» of the Far East from Khabarovsk to Vladivostok, the development of a national program for the development of the Far East until 2025 and for the future until 2035, as well as the expansion of the Far Eastern Federal District through the annexation of the Trans-Baikal Territory and the Republic of Buryatia, have been considered in detail.

Polymorphism in folate cycle genes in patients with gout in the Russian population of Trans-Baikal Territory

Objective. To study the frequency distribution of genotypes and alleles of polymorphic loci of folate cycle genes ( MTHFR C677T, MTHFR A1298G, MTR A2756G, MTRR A66G) in patients with gout and to evaluate their association with the risk of the disease. Material and Methods. 80 patients (69 men and 11 women) with gout were examined. The diagnosis of gout was made according to the classification criteria ACR/EULAR, 2015. DNA isolated from white blood cells of whole peripheral blood was the material used in the genetic analyses. All patients were genotyped to detect polymorphisms of the MTHFR C677T, MTHFR A1298G, MTR A2756G, MTRR A66G gene loci. Statistical data processing was performed using the software package Statistiсa 10.0. Results. Genetic polymorphisms of the MTHFR C677T and MTR A2756G genes are involved in the development of gout in individuals of Russian ethnicity in the population of the Trans-Baikal Territory. Minor T allele (χ 2 = 4.65, p = 0.03, OR = 1.83, CI95% = 1.05–3.17) and the T/T genotype (χ 2 = 6.5, p = 0.01, OR = 5.94, CI95% = 1.3–27.00) of the C677T locus of the MTHFR gene, minor G allele (χ 2 = 6.46, p = 0.01, OR = 2.38, CI95% = 1.2–4.69) and the A/G genotype of the MTR A2756G gene (χ 2 = 5.78, p = 0.01, OR = 2.66, CI95% = 1.18–5.98 ) were identified as alleles and genotypes having increased risk for developing gout. While the C allele (χ 2 = 4.65, p = 0.03, OR = 0.55, CI95% = 0.31–0.94) of the MTHFR C677T gene, and allele A (χ 2 = 6.46, p = 0.01, OR = 0.42, CI95% = 0.21–0.83) and genotype A/A (χ 2 = 7.58, p = 0.006, OR = 0.33, CI95% = 0.15–0.74) of the A2756G locus of the MTR gene were determined as genotypes and alleles having a protective effect. Conclusion. Significant differences were found in the frequency distribution of genotypes and alleles of the MTHFR C677T and MTR A2756G genes in gout patients compared with the control group. The presence of minor T allele and the T/T genotype of MTHFR C677T gene, the minor G allele and the A/G genotype of MTR A2756G gene was associated with an increased risk of gout. In contrast, the carriage of the C allele of MTHFR C677T gene, allele A and the genotype A/A of MTR A2756G gene had a potentially protective effect.

Учреждения для подготовки сотрудников милиции в 20-е гг. XХ века - начале XXI века (на материалах Забайкальского края, Республики Бурятия и Иркутской области)

The author summarizes historical experience of formation and development of militia/police training institutions. The paper focuses on studying initial (professional) training of police/militia officers in three Russian Federation subjects (the Republic of Buryatia, the Trans-Baikal territory and Irkutsk region). The conducted research allows concluding that the issues of police/ militia officers’ professionalism remained relevant over a long period. The researcher emphasizes the necessity to take into account the existing experience when reforming the sphere of law-enforcement activity.

Лекарственные растения Байкальской природной территории, входящие в состав адаптогенного средства «Центафит»

In many countries, a new direction of pharmacology is actively developing – stimulating therapy, the purpose of which is to create drugs that do not treat, but preserve and strengthen health. Adaptogenic drugs are such drugs aimed at treating and preventing diseases associated with increased fatigue, stress, anorexia, colds, and also to speed up the healing process after the acute phase of the disease. This work presents the results of the distribution of medicinal plants growing on the Baikal natural territory (the Republic of Buryatia, the Irkutsk region and the Trans-Baikal Territory) and which are part of the complex plant-based adaptogenic remedy «Tsentofit». The composition of this product includes the herb Serratula centauroides L., the fruits of Rosa davurica Pallas, the rhizomes with roots of Inula helenium L., the herb Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench and the leaves of Bergenia crassifolia (L.) Fritsch. Among these plants, the leaves of Bergenia crassifolia, the aerial part of Serratula centauroides, and the fruits of Rosa davurica in various plant communities were studied. A commodity analysis was carried out for the raw materials of Bergenia crassifolia, Serratula centauroides and Rosa davurica. The phytomass, biological and exploitation resources of raw materials of these plants are determined.

Evenki of River Basin Olyokma: Resettlement and Land Use in the XXI Century

The relevance of the study is due to the need to study the characteristics of the resettlement of the local Evenki group of the Olekma River Basin, which influenced the modern land use and economic and cultural relations of Evenki living now in the Olekminsky District of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), the Kalarsky and Tungiro-Olekminsky Districts of the Trans-Baikal Territory and the Tyndinsky District of Amur region. The article focuses on the study of the Evenki population dynamics based on a comparative analysis of the materials of the censuses of the 20th century. For comparison, current data on the number of Evenks in their areas of residence according to the 2010 census are given. An analysis of archival sources showed that changes in the resettlement of Evenk clans occurred simultaneously with changes in the administrative-territorial division. Factographic materials found in the National Archives of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) confirm that when deciding on the administrative-territorial structure, the opinions and proposals of the local population were taken into account. Author’s maps were compiled, which allowed a spatial analysis of the distribution of the population and the forms of organization of the Evenki economy. It was found out that each region has its own specific land use determined by administrative decisions and regional policies.

FORMATION OF SUMMER RAIN FLOODS ON THE CHITA RIVER (TRANSBAIKALIA)

Floods caused by rain floods in flood-hazardous regions, which include the Trans-Baikal Territory, lead to significant socio-economic and environmental consequences, especially for settlements located in floodplains. In the Trans-Baikal Territory, its administrative center, the city of Chita, located on the banks of the Chita River, is suffering the greatest economic damage. Therefore, the identification of the patterns of formation of floods on this river determines the relevance of this work, the task of which is to analyze the rain floods on the Chita River – the city Chita for the period from 1988 to 2017 during years of extremely high water consumption, as well as the amount of precipitation due to which they were caused. The work uses the observational data of the Trans-Baikal Administration for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring at the hydrological post of the Chita River – the city Chita and the Chita weather station. As a result of the analysis, it was revealed that the most significant floods were re-corded in the last high-water phase of the cycle from 1988 to 1998. Water consumption in 1991 was the first among the observed maximum values on the Chita – Chita River for the entire observation period, 1988 – the third, 1990 – the fifth and 1998 – the seventh. The main factor in the formation of flood waves during these years was precipitation, which in the months of recorded maximum water discharge was 50-165% more than normal, while the daily amount in the period before the flood reached 30-62 mm. A characteristic feature of the formation of floods in the Trans-Baikal Territory, in particular, on the Chita River, is the deep southern or south-western cyclones emerging on its territory. Long-term active cyclonic activity over the Trans-Baikal Territory in the summer leads to rainfall, which cause a sharp increase in water discharge to extreme values.

Лесной комплекс ДФО в «новом формате»: возможности и проблемы присоединённых территорий

The article analyzes the change in the parameters of the forest complex of the Far Eastern Federal District after the affiliation of the Republic of Buryatia and the Transbaikal Territory. Positive changes were revealed: an increase in forest resource potential, the appearance of a third redistribution of the complex, and an increase in the volume of export of processed products. The situation in the forest complexes of the Republic of Buryatia and the Trans-Baikal Territory is investigated. It was revealed that, despite the high quantitative indicators of production and export of woodworking products, its quality is generally low, while there is a high percentage of unaccounted production of forest products, illegal forest use, which leads to a decrease in returns on the forest complex for the national and regional economies

ИСТОРИЯ И СОВРЕМЕННОЕ СОСТОЯНИЕ МУЗЕЙНЫХ ИНСТИТУЦИЙ ОСОБО ОХРАНЯЕМЫХ ПРИРОДНЫХ ТЕРРИТОРИЙ ЗАБАЙКАЛЬСКОГО КРАЯ

The article is devoted to the history of the establishment of museum institutions of specially pro-tected natural territories in the Trans-Baikal Territory. At the beginning of the article the author notes that the museum business for specially protected natural areas is a traditional direction of educational work in Russia, including in the Trans-Baikal Territory. On the basis of field materials, the author gives the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of these institutions in the special natural territo-ries of the Trans-Baikal Territory, determine the purpose, tasks and the special role of the museums and visiting centers of the nature reserves in preserving, interpreting and popularizing also historical sites, the cultural material heritage. Moreover, the article presents information about the peculiarities of the organization of museum institutions of nature reserves and national parks of this region. In addi-tion, the authors use specific examples of actualizing the natural heritage through its museumification. Besides, the author emphasizes that the uniqueness of the museum business of the reserved areas of the Trans-Baikal Territory is expressed in the unified information visit center “Specially Protected Natural Territories of Transbaikalia”, established in 2012, located in Chita. It provides all information to tou-rists about all nature protection zones of the region, as well as conducts various activities for the for-mation of ecological culture. The author draws our attention to the fact that today many exhibits of specially protected natural areas have stopped demonstrating taxidermy exhibits, because stuffed animals have a negative impact on people, causing negative associations related to the killing of the animal, so many visitor centers replaced with mock-ups. One of the important positive qualities of museums and visiting centers of specially protected natural territories is their ability not only to satisfy the recreational needs of visi-tors, but also to have a significant educational potential. Despite the fact that today the protected natu-ral areas of the region under discussion do not have museums recreating or creating new ones, they suggest perspective plans for the departments of environmental education. In conclusion, the nature of museums and visiting centers in nature reserves are presented, both positive and problematic moments in their formation and activities are indicated.

Три новых клейстокарпных вида родов Tortula и Microbryum (Pottiaceae, Bryophyta)

Three new cleistocarpous species belonging to the genera Tortula and Microbryum were found among specimens in herbaria LE and MHA identified as Pterygoneurum kozlovii (redefined as Pterygoneurum sibiricum), Tortula acaulon, Microbryum vlassovii and Microbryum curvicollum. The new species Tortula arenaria found in collections from the Republic of Dagestan is similar to M. curvicollum in having curved costa but differs in large and roughly papillose spores (vs. smal ler and smooth in M. curvicollum), branched papillae (vs. simple papillae in M. curvicollum). The new species Microbryum lydiae found in collections from the Republic of Armenia is similar to M. vlassovii in having ventral outgrowths of costa presented as elongated parenchymatous cells but differs in long-mammillose leaf lamina and costa cells (long-mammillose-papillose in M. vlassovii); smaller, warty papillose spores (vs. larger, streaky papillose in M. vlassovii). The new species Tortula irinae is similar to cleistocarpous species of the genus Pterygoneurum in having ventral outgrowths of costa, but differs in outgrowths presented as a pad of large, elongated parenchymatous cells (vs. as low lamellae of several rows of small cells in height in P. kozlovii and high lamellae in P. sibiricum). By ventral outgrowths of costa presented as elongated parenchymatous cells it is also similar to some species of the genus Microbryum, from which it differs in leaf lamina and costa cells with several branched papillae (vs. long-mammillose-papillose leaf lamina and costa cells with one branched papilla in M. vlassovii and long-mammillose leaf lamina and costa cells with one large mammilla in M. lydiae). Tortula irinae resembles T. acaulon in having cleistocarpous immersed capsule. Tortula acaulon is a highly variable species represented by several morphotypes of uncertain taxonomic status but strongly differing in many characters of sporophytes and gametophytes. The most important diagnostic characters are the degree of papillae expression and the shape of leaf and costa papillae. By the degree of papillae expression and the shape of papillae, several morphotypes of T. acaulon were revealed: 1 – morphotype without papillae, 2 – morphotype with simple papillae, 3 – morphotype with branched papillae. Tortula irinae differs from T. acaulon morphotypes in having ventral outgrowths of costa lacking in T. acaulon morphotypes. How ever, of all T. acaulon morphotypes studied, T. irinae can be most probably confused with T. acaulon “branched papillae morphotype” in having strongly branched papillae of costa and leaf cells but easily differing in shape of ventral costa cells protruding as a pad of large, elongated parenchymatous cells in T. irinae vs. ventral costa cells smaller, not protruding in T. acaulon “branched papillae morphotype”. Tortula irinae is widespread in Asian part of Russia [Chukotka Autonomous Area, Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), Trans-Baikal Territory]. It was also found in kept in LE moss collections from Asia (Khazakhtan, Mongolia) and Europe (Ukraine).

Новый клейстокарпный вид из рода Pterygoneurum (Pottiaceae, Bryophyta) с остепненных склонов Сибири (Россия)

On the steppe slopes in the Yenisey River Basin in the vicinity of the City of Krasnoyarsk a new cleistocarpous species of the genus Pterygoneurum was found. The new species Pterygoneurum sibiricum is characterized by sessile cleistocarpous capsule, short triangular-cucullate calyptrae, and leaves loosely appressed and somewhat slightly twisted when dry, as well as papillose leaves and lamellae. It differs from all stegocarpous species of Pterygoneurum in a cleistocarpous capsule. It also differs from the cleistocarpous Pterygoneurum kozlovii in having high lamellae of 4–10(15) rows of cells in height (vs. low lamellae of 1–4 rows of cells in height in P. kozlovii); papillae of lamellae located on both sides of the lamellae, branched or sometimes simple (vs. simple to hardly branched or absent in P. kozlovii); papillae of the leaf lamina located on the dorsal side of the lamina, branched or sometimes simple (vs. mostly simple to hardly branched or absent in P. kozlovii). It is known from the steppe slopes in Siberia (Republic Sakha (Yakutia), Indigirka River Basin; Trans-Baikal Territory; Republic of Buryatia; Krasnoyarsk Territory, near the City of Krasnoyarsk).

ОЦЕНКА ЭПИДЕМИОЛОГИЧЕСКОЙ ОБСТАНОВКИ ПО ТУБЕРКУЛЕЗУ НА УРОВНЕ СУБЪЕКТА

Significance. The current epidemiological situation of tuberculosis in Russia has a negative trend. It is influenced not only by medical, but also by demographic, socio-economic, environmental and other factors. Purpose. Identify the most important socio-economic and environmental factors of organization and effectiveness of anti-tuberculosis measures, which influence the main epidemiological indicators of tuberculosis. Material and methods. The study was conducted by processing and analyzing materials of the state statistical reporting of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation for the period 2016-2018. The method of Pearson correlation analysis with matrix construction was used. Calculations were performed using Statistica 6.0 package. Significance of differences was determined by Student's criterion. Differences were considered statistically significant at p ˂ 0.05. Results. The epidemiological situation of tuberculosis in the Trans-Baikal Territory has a positive trend. Quality indicators of detection, diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis in the region are characterized by improvements. The study has identified: a strong direct correlation between the share of areas not equipped with water supply and sewage and such indicators as: incidence of tuberculosis among adults, tuberculosis prevalence, and feedback on coverage of children aged 1-14 with immunodiagnostics; a direct correlation between the share of housing without central heating and prevalence of tuberculosis; an inverse correlation between the number of sports facilities and the level of tuberculosis incidence and tuberculosis prevalence among adults; and a strong direct correlation between air pollution emissions and incidence of tuberculosis among adolescents. Conclusion. The correlations identified confirm that tuberculosis is socially and economically determined, making it possible to identify risk factors for deteriorating epidemiological indicators of tuberculosis and substantiating a system of measures aimed at improving organization of TB care delivery to the population of the Trans-Baikal territory.

On the power quality of electrical energy supplied to joint stock company “Aleksandrovsky mine”

Joint Stock Company (JSC) “Mine Aleksandrovsky” is located in the Mogochinsky district of the Trans-Baikal Territory. “Mine Aleksandrovsky” concluded an energy supply agreement with JSC “Chitaenergosbyt” for the purchase of electric energy from it. In accordance with the contract, the electric energy supplier undertakes to supply electric energy that meets the requirements of the current legislation of the Russian Federation. The power quality in the Trans-Baikal Territory in most regions does not meet the requirements of State Standard 32144-2013. Suppliers and the network organization are responsible to consumers for the reliability of its electric energy supply and its quality within the boundaries of their electric networks. Despite the obligations of the contract, the electric energy supplied to “Mine Alexandrovsky” does not meet the requirements. In 2017 the ball mill engine in the shredding department of the gold recovery factory failed as a result of power outages and the supply of low power quality through the 6 kV line. The article provides information on interruptions in power supply over the years of operation of the enterprise, the results of analysis of the power quality, information on damage to electrical equipment caused by low power quality, and economic damage.

Английский язык и тренды англоязычных стран в глобальных процессах межкультурного и межъязыкового взаимодействия в России

We consider the phenomenon of global processes arising as a result of the English language popularity growing in Russian reality and linguoculture. Using the studying the linguistic landscape method, the penetration of English-speaking countries’ cultural elements into media landscape and everyday life in the Far East of Russia is analyzed. To study the contact of the languages on the subject of crosscultural and interlinguistic interaction, the languages of the peoples of a certain territory of Russia and foreign languages are taken into account. As a result of the observations and analysis of the linguistic landscape obtained factual material in Russia’s eastern cities, the study proves the interaction of languages and cultures, shows the tendency of the English language dominance and the trends of the English-speaking countries. Moreover, the phenomenon of the Glocal English has been observed and confirmed by the unique combination of the global and local in the studied territories, while national and territorial (ethnical) peculiarities are taken into account. In addition to interlanguage, the crosscultural interaction have been studied, namely, the elements of western cultures and customs are investigated. Due to globalization a lot of western cultural and business traditions have been incorporated into the Russian reality (ways of spending free time, holding events, holidays, ways of running business or trade). To prove the global character of the current trends, the study provides the examples of these phenomena in the remote regions from the European and English-speaking countries – in the Far East of Russia (Baikal and Transbaikal Territory).
