A Starched Cotton Fluorescent-Yellow Saree, Khopa, Belly Button and Safety Pins: Decoding the ‘Dignified Indian Nurse-Midwife’
Authors: Mayra Kaveri
Published: October 2022

This article is a personal account of my experiences of nursing and midwifery education in India. I discuss scenarios of conditioning into a profession(s) that has to maintain a ‘dignified’ portrayal as per societal norms which is gender-based and heavily influenced by patriarchy and doctor domination. This conditioning starts early in the pre-service education, which had a key role in shaping my political activism, professional choices and my influence on policy-making and on young nurse-midwives around the world.
Working to Create an Oxytocin-rich Environment on a Busy Postnatal Ward
Authors: Fuller Emily
Published: October 2022

A busy, baby-friendly initiative (BFI)-accredited post-natal ward wanted to create a more oxytocin-rich environment to support mother-and-baby bonding and promote good infant feeding practices. Drawing on the known benefits of parental closeness and touch for babies in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), a programme to actively promote positive touch was established. This article describes this initiative whereby breastfeeding peer support volunteers (who already provided care on the ward), were felt to be best placed to initiate this programme.
Rising Freebirth: A Symptom of a Fractured Relationship Between Women and the Maternity Services in the UK
Authors: Edwards Emily
Published: October 2022

Breaking-free was inspired by an experience during my midwifery training. It is a reflection on the care of a woman who faced challenges regarding her choice to decline clinical recommendations. She found that risk-based language was coercively used by professionals for compliance with intervention, developing mistrust. The experience invoked reflection on the prevalent narrative in maternity care whereby medical hegemony has the potential to breed a dichotomous relationship of mistrust between women and maternity services. This is increasingly leading to ‘freebirthing’. Exploring this woman’s narrative helped me navigate the challenges of the maternity services from an alternative perspective.
Why Should We Care About Entonox? The Importance of Climate Change for Midwives
Authors: McGranahan Majel , Cartwright Angela
Published: October 2022

Increasing global temperatures due to climate change disproportionately affect women and children, and heatwaves have an adverse impact on pregnancy and childbirth. In the UK, healthcare makes up more than 5% of carbon emissions. As midwives, we can help reduce healthcare’s impact on climate change by encouraging breastfeeding, which is more environmentally friendly than formula feeding; raising awareness of the impact of pain relief options on the environment among colleagues and patients; and acting on a personal level by putting pressure on the government to act and changing how we travel, shop and eat.

Environmental degradation, loss of species, rising sea levels and increasing frequency of catastrophic weather events have become part of the ‘new normal’ of human life. With this, it is becoming increasingly clear that we need a new orientation and new ways of living in the world. If we want to reduce the trajectory towards climate breakdown, we need to find ways to lighten our impact on the natural world and each other. And this requires a paradigm shift.

Authors: Ramazanova Dzhavgarat , Barkhalov Ruslan , Vasilyeva Lidiya , Sudakova Natalia
Published: October 2022

The northern part of the Agrakhan Bay plays a major role in restoration of commercial fish stocks in the Tersko-Caspian region of the Republic of Dagestan. Here the natural bioresources of anadromous, semi-anadromous, non-migratory and lake-river fish species are being reproduced, and up to 600 million young fish species are being replenished annually. The article presents comparative data on the current state of natural reproduction of the main fish species, qualitative and quantitative changes in the structure of ichthyofauna that have occurred in this bay. As a result of this study, it has been determined that commercial species such as Caspian kutum, wels catfish, asp and vimba vimba have practically disappeared in the northern part of the bay, while the age and size-weight parameters of other fish species have increased. The reason for this situation is primarily the unfavourable hydrological regime during the spring-summer floods, which does not meet the necessary requirements for fish reproduction.
The geopolitical landscape of Eurasia in the XXI century: prospects for the development of Russian-Indian relations
Authors: Markelov Konstantin
Published: October 2022

In contemporary expert assessments, we can increasingly hear the idea that unipolar system that has been in place since the 1990s has begun to fail systematically and to increase the threat of global geopolitical chaos. The world is on the threshold of multipolarity and requires different methodological assessments and theoretical approaches. This paper analyses the prospects of the new global economic and political centres that have already declared their economic potential, but have not yet fully articulated their priority geopolitical interests. Especially Eurasia is becoming an area of heightened interest to the world's leading powers, an area of rapid economic and demographic growth, as well as a venue for the escalation of serious geopolitical conflicts. In these conditions, the problems of regional security and timely prevention of local and global challenges and threats with the potential for serious economic and political conflicts are growing.

Trends and prospects for further development of investment processes in Russia and its regions at the present stage
Authors: Sokolova Olga , Aleksandrov Ilya , Mityaeva Natalia , Zakharova Svetlana
Published: October 2022

The article attempts to assess the impact of investment processes on the development of the Russian economy at the present stage. The diversification of regions when it comes to economic growth rates is largely due to the dynamics of investment processes as well as the erratically characteristics of the investment climate. Investment-attractive regions, formed as an economic core, have all the prerequisites for further economic growth alongside attracting investment. The regions with the highest investment risk and low economic potential despite the support measures taken by the state, still remain at risk having a small amount of investment being attracted. To bridge the gap in investment processes between regions, the Government calls for paying thorough attention to the challenging aspects of each region and take an individual approach towards the formation of innovation and investment infrastructure in every region. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 led to an alteration in most forecasts alongside the conditions for investment activities and prospects for the development of investment processes. In the meantime, as far as the medium-term growth of the Russian economy is concerned, there are quite favorable conditions, regardless of the current economic sanctions and the consequences of the pandemic caused by the COVID-19 coronavirus infection. The key issue in terms of the investment area is the lack of readiness of most regions for large-scale investment projects and the low interest of private investors. This study shows the significance of a balanced development of investment processes, the necessity to provide targeted support to the least investment-attractive regions and the overall improvement of the investment climate. The core directions of investment processes and their impact on the economy are highlighted. The main problems alongside possible prospects for the development of investment processes in Russia taking into account the new realities are outlined. The improvement of the investment mechanism will contribute to the creation of competitive products, the development of production capacities and the increase of the country's economic potential amid coronavirus restrictions and in the post-pandemic period all in all.

Religious identity and confessional security through the eyes of student youth in the Russian part of the Caspian Sea region
Authors: Chernichkin Dmitriy , Topchiev Mikhail
Published: October 2022

The issues of collective, cultural or, in some cases, religious identity have become an important factor for both confessional and societal security since the end of the last century. Such studies focus on specific societal communities or specific social spaces. The present article studies the student youth of the Russian part of the Caspian Sea region and focuses on the influence of the level of religious identity on the confessional security of student youth in the Russian part of the Caspian Sea region. The starting point was regional studies of the past 10 years carried out by experts from the Republic of Kalmykia, Republic of Dagestan and Astrakhan Region. The purpose of this article is to identify the level of confessional security of the Russian student youth in the Caspian Sea region. For this purpose, sociological research was carried out in November and December 2020 among students of higher educational institutions in the Russian part of the Caspian Sea region (N – 732). Primary sociological information was obtained through a handout electronic questionnaire using the Survey Studio service. The sampling error was up to 3%. The research tools and matrix were developed by the authors. A fairly high level of students’ religiosity was revealed in the course of the study, mainly due to Dagestan and Kalmykia. The main factor in the formation of religious identity was the human and institutional factor, manifesting itself most clearly in Kalmykia, and the virtual one – in Dagestan. The study results showed that the youth of the Caspian Sea region is in tune for tolerance but does not feel sufficient reciprocal tolerance at both the national and regional levels. They consider their own educational institutions having the highest level of tolerance. Though they do not recognize the societal future of religion as a systemic regulator, the vast majority of students, both believers and non-believers, recognize it as a kind of guarantor of security.
Specifics of alimentary culture in the Russian part of the Caspian region as an important element of cultural security (on the example of the Astrakhan region)
Authors: Palatkin Vladimir
Published: October 2022

The article aims to reveal the specifics of the alimentary culture in the Russian part of the Caspian region on the example of the Astrakhan region, that was formed under the influence of various ethnic groups living on its territory. Another objective of the article is to determine the actual state of the alimentary culture in the region. The special attention was paid to the aspects of food production and procurement because traditionally the main part of the food products consumed by the society is produced on the territory where this society lives. Due to this fact some special cultural environment which we defined as “alimentary landscape” was being formed in certain regions. Alimentary landscape of the region made a long way of formation and transformation from a traditional culture to new sociocultural practices under the influence of objective and subjective factors. The objective factors include natural and climatic characteristics of the region, the subjective ones include multiculturalism and polyethnicity of the region. It can be affirmed that many regional food practices have been preserved up to nowadays, being slightly transformed under the influence of various factors.
Influence of Bacillus megaterium to promote growing of cotton (Gossypium Hirsutum L.)
Authors: Bataeva Yulya , Magzanova Damelya , Baimukhambetova Adelia , Grigoryan Lilit , Vilkova Daria
Published: October 2022

The article presents the results of studying the influence of Bacillus megaterium on the growth and development of Gossypium hirsutum cotton plant in the field conditions of the Astrakhan Region. In the wild plants have to cope with several adverse environmental conditions, such as water scarcity, high salt concentrations in the soil, extreme temperatures, nutrient deficiencies and pathogen attacks. However, plants can interact with several soil microorganisms, including plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, which make the plant more resistant to such stresses. Bacillus-based products represent the most important class of microbial products for phytosanitary use available on the market. Field studies and microbiological analysis of the soil were carried out on the basis of the All-Russian Research Institute of Irrigated Horticulture and Melon Growing (VNIIOB) and Astrakhan State University. To compare the results, in the experiment the chemical mineral fertilizer Amofoska was used in the concentration of the working solution. Distilled water was used as a control substance. The weight of the crop was calculated at the end of the vegetation season. The research revealed that Bacillus megaterium has growth-promoting effect on cotton culture. Germination of seeds treated with bacillus was 96%. Plant biometrics indicate that plants treated with bacillus show the highest values in terms of leaf weight, leaf area and root length relative to the control. Thus, the number of buds and flowers increased by 5.1 and 3.1 pieces in comparison to the control sample and the one treated with mineral fertilizer, respectively. The length of the root also increased by 9.8 and 2.4 cm. The weight of cotton treated with bacillus exceeds the control variant by 46 g. and mineral fertilizer by 48.4 g, respectively. When abundantly poured for the second time, this indicator exceeded the weight of the control sample by 8 g and after treatment with mineral fertilizer - by 32 g.
Factors and prospects for the development of geostrategic territories in contemporary geopolitical processes of the Greater Caspian Region (the case of Astrakhan region)
Authors: Usmanov Rafik , Golovin Vyacheslav , Urazgalieva Maia , Kondratiev Vladislav
Published: October 2022

Russia's spatial development strategy has a geopolitical dimension and aims to streamline it, accelerate socio-economic development of regions, and integrate them more closely, defining a list of macro-regions and their composition, and identifying priority geostrategic areas and cross-border geostrategic areas of the country. However, the status of these territories is not filled with real geopolitical content as a major transport hub, which determines their geostrategic character in matters of national security. On the example of the Astrakhan region, we studied the peculiarities and prospects of development of geostrategic territories in modern geopolitical processes of the Greater Caspian Region. The methodological basis of the study is a comparative analysis of the adopted legislative documents "Strategies of Socio-Economic Development of Regions of the Russian Federation" in 2005, the Spatial Development Strategy of Russia until 2030 (from 2016) and the Spatial Development Strategy of Russia until 2025. A number of criteria have been identified as essential: "borderland", concentration of socio-economic development efforts in a particular region, ensuring Russia's national security. The Astrakhan region represents the middle priority geostrategic transboundary territory of the Russian Federation and the world at large. In the framework of the implementation of the Convention on the Legal Status of the Caspian Sea of 12.08.2018, the Astrakhan region may be granted certain priority competences deriving from the provisions of the Convention and defining the status of the Caspian Sea. In modern geopolitical conditions the Astrakhan region acts as a kind of buffer of national security in the South of Russia, providing geostrategic and political interests of the country, which allow fully vesting the studied region with a special geostrategic status "a priority geostrategic territory of the Russian Federation".

Russian diasporas of the Caspian region countries in the implementation of the "Russian world" project
Authors: Bedaev Aleksandr , Mikhailova Elena , Tikhonova Valentina
Published: October 2022

A number of state and public organizations take part in pursuing cultural policy and protection of rights of compatriots in the countries of the Caspian region. Russian-speaking communities abroad are regarded as components of " the Russian World" - a civilizational community that unites them around Russia as a historical and cultural centre. The preservation of the Russian language in the post-Soviet states is focused on the studying of the language by the titular peoples of sovereign states as the language of interstate communication with Russia and to ensure favourable conditions for labour migration to Russia. In the Caspian states the status of the Russian-speaking community is constantly declining and decreasing, as well as its cultural role in the life of the independent national states. In a long run, this reduces the base of the functioning of the Russian language in the Caspian countries. The Russian World state project is officially presented as a project on preserving the Russian language in the countries where Russian communities exist. At the same time the analysis of documents and information portals, related to the Russian World program, demonstrates that the policy of the Russian Federation focused on the repatriation of ethnic Russians and Russian-speaking people to Russia lines up with their migration activity.

Authors: Palatkina Galina , Gorina Inessa , Simonova Tatiana , Palatkina Alyona
Published: October 2022

Contemporary modernization of education takes place on the one hand under the influence of the evolution of society's expectations of its results, and on the other - the rapid spread of new technologies, the implementation of which would ensure the achievement of clear didactic results.

The global economic crisis of 2020, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, affected all areas of the economies of different countries and led to complete transformation of economic systems, including the soaring digitalization, and demonstrated an extreme need for revising many existing approaches to defining economic categories. Given the rapid development of the digital economy, the issue of defining the concept of competitiveness under such conditions is seen particularly topical. The paper aims to conduct a detailed analysis of the approaches of various researchers to the definition of competition and competitiveness both in Russian and international practice, to identify their strengths and weaknesses, to develop necessary criteria for this category and to present a definition of competitiveness relevant in the digital economy era. Within the framework of this paper, an effort was made to collect the existing notions of digital economy and digitalization, competition and competitiveness, to systematize them and analyse them in their entirety. The study resulted in a conclusion that there is no generally accepted definition of competitiveness that would correspond to the current digital realities of the 21st century among both Russian and foreign scientists, who define competitiveness on the basis of the specificity of their countries’ economic development. Findings were also made regarding the existing interpretations of this concept, the main aspects, which are typical to the digital age, were highlighted and a definition of competitiveness, reflecting the main properties in the digital economy, was given.

The Caspian region having cross-boundary specifics is now a center of attraction for various countries and powers that are interested in hydrocarbon reserves of the region, its geopolitical location and political impact on the Caspian countries that include former Soviet states in order to achieve their own geopolitical goals. Under these circumstances, the Russian Federation needs to choose the dominant strategy of action in the region that will enable to activate the relations between Russia and the Caspian states in various spheres including cultural and humanitarian cooperation. A cultural diplomacy can and must become such a strategy in a New Great Game for the Caspian region. Its effective component includes support of the compatriots, offer of educational programs at Russian universities and other educational institutions, promotion of the Russian language and literature. In the future all this will allow to achieve better results in the spread of the Russian soft power in the countries of “the Caspian four”, provided that this geopolitical resource is conceptualized, and active, not discreet steps, are made. To define effective strategy for soft power implementation in the Caspian region the game theory and the so-called Prisoner’s dilemma can be used. The latter has long been used for assessment and forecast the effectiveness of the international cooperation.
