Published: May 2021

There is a relationship between the economic requirements for the development of oil and gas facilities in the oil-producing regions of the North and the environmental problems of sustainable development. One of the ways to solve this problem is the wider use of underground gas storage facilities both for reducing peak loads in the Unified Gas Supply System by collecting and storing previously flared associated petroleum gas, and for burying a large volume of industrial emissions that are harmful to the environment. We have considered a mathematical model of an automated control system for the creation and operation of underground gas storage in the horizons of a depleted oil and gas condensate field with its subsequent use for disposal of industrial emissions. To ensure the stability of the functioning of objects of accumulation and consumption, it is necessary to calculate the depth of feedback for each component of the component: proportional, integral, differential.

Pakistan being an important ally of the war against terror paying huge price of not merely of innocent lives of people but huge monetary losses in many sectors of economy, one lucrative sector is international trade. Pakistan’s export potential has undergone strenuous pressures to perform according to the past performance. There was a need to reveal new export potential and lucrative sectors of economy with recommended policy changes so that new paradigm change in international trade can be initiated. This empirical study carried to meet the objective in which gravity model is used for investigating the bilateral trade between Pakistan and China. This model is being used extensively by the researchers worldwide to make predictions about volume of international trade to suggest the policy changes in international trade management. The findings confirm that the tariff rates significantly and negatively affects the Export Volume from Pakistan to China as t-stats > 1.5 which results the trade deficit to be increased, while the affinity (i.e. bilateral visits of people of Pakistan and China to each other countries, bilateral dialogues between China and Pakistan, Social integrations programs between China and Pakistan etc.) between China and Pakistan and Geography (i.e. the trading countries are both in Asia with the connected borders) significantly and positively affects the Export Volume from Pakistan to China as t-stats > 1.5, thus the trade deficit is reduced due to stated affinity and geography. The large value of F-stats also reports that the relationships of export volume from Pakistan to China with all outlined stated explanatory variables/ predictors (i.e. the gravity model for bilateral trade between Pakistan and China) will remain alive for longer period of time in future.

Authors: Mamaev Enver , Mikhaylyuk Mikhail
Published: May 2021

The scientific paper is devoted to the analysis of problems and ways of sales system development in the conditions of deformation of commodity distribution of large manufacturers of vibro-pressed products in the market of the Russian south. The result of the study is the scientific and practical substantiation of decisions to rebalance sales channels in the face of a continuous increase in demand constraints and destabilization of the consumer base of the industry market. The authors outline the limits and specifics of the directed competitive transformation of modern sales systems of large brand suppliers of paving slabs and concrete products against the backdrop of a disruptive growth in the supply of cheap products, as well as the continuous flow of a part of consumer demand to the lower sectors of the market. This made it possible to form a strategic vector for improving the performance of modern distribution systems, the macro-factor of the imbalance of which in 2019-2020 was the chronic deformation of the market consumer base, which disrupts market stability and the potential for competitive differentiation of the product offer in the field of large-scale production of vibro-pressed products in the south of Russia.

Authors: Kovalenko Artoym , Okolnishnikova Irina , Kuzmenko Yulia
Published: May 2021

Modern online marketing consists of a variety of interacting methods and tools. The consumer exists in the flows of marketing information. The consumer’s value acquisition process is not linear. Financial constraints at the marketing budget level for small business enterprises require reducing the uncertainty of results from the applied online marketing methods. In this paper, we look into the properties of gap analysis to study the discrepancies between the current and planned results of online marketing activities of small business enterprises. The research methodology is based on the gap analysis method, which is complemented by the methods of content analysis, cvp analysis, graphical methods, and special methods of online marketing. The study examines the properties of gaps in the transformation of online marketing informational flows. A mathematical description and graphic interpretation of the gap in the transformation of the informational flow of online marketing is proposed. The results of the study show that the use of gap analysis methods makes it possible to detail the phenomenon of consumer proactivity, reduce the uncertainty from the use of online marketing methods and improve the quality of marketing information about the consumer for small business enterprises.

Authors: Shemyakin Alexandr , Lyashchuk Yuliya , Martynushkin Alexey , Ivanishchev Konstantin , Strokova Elena , Krasnikov Alexandr
Published: May 2021

The article discusses the relevance of analyzing the level of biological risks from the point of view of activities of enterprises of the agro-industrial complex. Agro-industrial complex enterprises deal with living organisms (plants and animals), characterized by a development cycle closely related to natural and climatic conditions, and subordination to the biological laws of the functioning of living things. This is the reason for risks being specific only to this industry (biological, climatic, risks of seasonality of production, etc.). Biological risks are the undisputed leaders in this list, since they pose a threat to the life and health of people when using the products of agricultural enterprises. The authors consider biological threats of human infection when eating livestock products, since (unlike plants) humans and animals have a common group of diseases called zooanthroponosis. The analysis of studies and opinions of specialists in veterinary and sanitary examination, microbiology, epizootology, infectious diseases and epidemiology allowed to compile a list of biological risk factors, identify criteria for assessing the degree of risk, and conduct their quantitative and qualitative assessment at the regional level.

Published: May 2021

For a more successful formation of industrial production systems, an effective system for managing intellectual capital, knowledge and information is needed. An indispensable condition for the development of modern industry is the creation and use of information and knowledge. Industrial modernization requires an organizational and economic mechanism for resource management. When solving the problems of improving and technological development of production systems of industrial enterprises or business groups, a method for selecting a strategy for managing corporate information resources was developed. It is based on the consequences of economic monitoring of the state of the production system, which provides for the primary processing and assessment of the reliability of the results, creation of alternative predictive scenarios for changes in the state of the external and internal environment of the production system, expression of strategic goals and objectives of modernization, development of target criteria for achieving the results of modernization, alternative competing strategies for information and knowledge management, checking competing strategies against the target criterion, choosing a strategy to be applied in the improvement process. The transition to promising paths is permissible only under the condition of intensive modernization of industrial enterprises, carried out on the basis of those technical and economic decisions that will lead to the development and use of the latest NBIC technologies.

Anthropological foundation of environmental science
Authors: Rupova Rozaliya
Published: May 2021

The author of the article notes the obvious contradiction of our time, which consists in the fact that the rapid development of technology is combined with an increase in political tension, escalation of violence, and an eschatological feeling of extreme depletion of environmental and civilizational resources. This testifies to the crisis state of civilization, which can be more accurately described as a crisis of man himself. Based on the principle of the interdependence of anthropology and culture, the author proposes to include in the orbit of theological understanding not only the social and humanitarian sphere of civilization life, but also natural science, as well as the technosphere. The article proposes a variant of the classification of traditions and methods of broadcasting their content, which makes it possible to look at science as part of a cultural tradition that builds relationships with a spiritual tradition as a core one. But, first of all, the structuring of traditions in society makes it possible to clearly see their hierarchy and mutual influences. Especially valuable is the isolation of the spiritual tradition and the separation of the religious from it. This provides a key to understanding many processes in the history of civilization - in the sphere of religious life, in culture, in socio-political processes. Traditions such as religious, cultural and social build their own relationships with spiritual tradition. The forms of these relations create a multidimensional characteristic of the state of society in a given historical period.
Age characteristics of the working memory
Authors: Nikolaeva Elena , Dunaevskaya Elvira , Burkova Svetlana , Nikiforova Svetlana , Merenkova Vera
Published: May 2021

This paper raises the question of the relationship between two mechanisms of working memory - Retrieval-Induced Forgetting (RIF) and Retrieval-Based Learning (RBL) in ontogenesis. Working memory is an element of executive functions, the effectiveness of which predetermines the success of learning, which determines the importance of studying the mechanisms of its implementation. RIF is a deterioration in the reproduction of subsequent stimuli as a result of reproduction of previous stimuli that are similar in some parameter. RBL is the reverse process, in which each subsequent reproduction in the working memory leads to better memorization of information when the memory is repeatedly tested. Comparison of works representing specific ages of the subjects does not allow us to imagine the complete change in the interaction of the two mechanisms with age. This is what became the task of this study. An original computerized technique was used (Razumnikova et al., 2016) which had been designed to memorize visual objects presented on a computer screen. The technique included three series, during which the same set of simple objects were presented, but the order of the presentation varied from series to series. The study involved 201 children: 17 children who were 3-4 years old, 90 children who were 5-7 years old, 47 children 10-11 who were years old and 47 children who were 12-14 years old. It is shown that RIF processes are mostly formed in children 3-4 years old. The effectiveness of RBL increases with age and reaches its greatest values by adolescence.
Being-understanding as the basis for the possibility of human essence in the modern environment
Authors: Torubarova Tatyana , Dyachenko Olga
Published: May 2021

The article analyzes the understanding of being in the metaphysical experience of man. It is shown that having in us being-understanding is a fundamental experience in comprehension of the possibility of human essence, for it turns us to the origins of the rootedness of man in his own foundational content. It is argued that the understanding of being and the question of the essence of time constitute together the questioning about man, about the basis of his essence. In this respect the specificity of comprehension of man as a being present in the world is revealed. The position of human existence in the contemporary world is revealed, where the humanitas of man, that is being fulfilled, deprives him of any essence. The being of all things existent is understood as nothingness that man has to fill up with his knowledge, and the unity of human essence with the being of all things existent is rejected. This actualizes and makes urgent the targeted problem.

Value-driven fears of modern information generations
Authors: Pishchik Vlada I.
Published: May 2021

Today, the problem of formation and life of generations is becoming very relevant. Many researchers in different countries note that representatives of the information younger generations have an increased risk of depression, anxiety and fears. In the study, we note the manifestations of modernity: transitivity of society, fluidity, “uncertainty” and etc. In this regard, young people face fluid socialization, a delay in the period of growing up and excessive parental care. There is a tendency of replacement of real contacts of young people with virtual ones, which can increase the level of anxiety. The trends of changing values in Russia in the direction of survival established earlier by Inglehart and Baker (2000) may have different prospects today. Some researchers show a high level of anxiety among young Russians. The situation with COVID-19 may aggravate these manifestations. Illusory correlations, false representations in the beliefs of young people also increase social anxiety. These realities determined the purpose of the study: to determine the value bases of young generations fears of the modern South of Russia. The sample included: schoolchildren (born in 2004-2005) - 150 people, schoolchildren of the 9th grade and 10th grade, information generation (born in 1995-1999) - 210 people, students, young workers, transition generation (born in 1965-1982) - 245 people, working adults of Rostov-on-Don. We used the following techniques: values were measured by S. Schwartz method, to determine fears we used the V. Pishchik method of determining values through actualized fears. The results of the study showed that the values of preservation and self-affirmation are more pronounced in the “Transition” and “Information” generations. The values of transcendence are expressed in all the studied generations with a greater extent in the “New” generation. The loss of culture scares the “Transitional” generation, the loss of oneself scares the “Information” generation, the information overload scares the “New” generation. We defined the value bases of the fears of the young generations of the modern South of Russia.

The article is devoted to the study of the association of genotypes of genes of monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) and catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) with emotional intelligence and personality traits of young people, such as extraversion-introversion, empathy, and alexithymia. The work was attended by students-psychologists, in the amount of 100 people. The following methods were used: Test of emotional intelligence (D.V. Lyusin); Emotional Empathy Questionnaire (A. Mehrabian, N. Epstein); «Big five» test; Toronto Alexithymia Scale. For statistical processing of the results obtained, we used multivariate analysis of variance ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc analysis for non-equilibrium sample sizes. As a result, it was found that the genes of the monoaminergic system COMT and MAOA are associated with the general level of emotional intelligence. Women, in general, showed a lower level of emotional intelligence. The Met/Met genotype of the COMT gene is associated with a higher level of emotional intelligence and high extraversion. The Val/Met genotype of the COMT gene in women is associated with low emotional intelligence and low empathy. The Val/Val genotype of the COMT gene in men is associated with extraversion. In the work, no associations were found between the genotypes of the MAOA, COMT genes, and the level of alexithymia.

Published: May 2021

The purpose of this study is to examine the gender characteristics and structure of men’s and women’s economic activity. By taking the social and psychological differences between women and men into consideration, regional and state programs designed to promote sustainable development can be implemented more effectively. We conducted a study among young people in order to assess their economic activity and to identify the structure of economic activity (n=192). The questionnaire of economic activity (Zabelina E.V., Chestyunina Y.V.) was employed for the study. As a result, we found that the economic activity of young people has a gender-specific structure. Men have greater economic ambitions, they seek economic independence, dominance, and profit from economic activity. Women have a more distinct behavioral component – the desire to be active in daily activities. Women are as much interested in economic success as men, but not in being dominant, yet they want to have a financial “safety cushion”.

Authors: Kuznetsova Svetlana , Voytyuk Margarita , Marinchenko Tatiana , Voytyuk Vyacheslav , Sypok Sofia
Published: May 2021

In recent years, the number of unemployed persons, low-income families, refugees and families in difficult life situations has increased, which has led to a decrease in the standard of living. The paper is devoted to the problem of poverty in the aspect of the analysis of rural areas and the quality of life of the rural population. The population of rural areas is more vulnerable and often lacks the factors necessary to improve the quality of life. Social problems in rural areas and factors of decreasing the quality of life and their consequences are shown. The analysis has showed that the main source of income for the able-bodied rural population is labor activity, including personal subsidiary farming. The poverty rate varies across the constituent entities of the Russian Federation from 3.8% to 43.3%. In general, the poverty level increased by 38% of the total number of constituent entities of the Russian Federation in 2019.Despite the relative progress in solving social problems in rural areas in recent years, including that thanks to the implementation of measures of state programs, the quality of life of the rural population not only remains low level, but also tend to decrease. In this regard, the study of poverty as the main factor in reducing the quality of life of the rural population becomes relevant. In order to solve more effective the poverty problems, it is necessary to revise the principles of budgeting at different levels and introduce tools that have shown high efficiency in foreign countries.

Published: May 2021

The relevance of the presented article is determined by the widespread use of online distance learning technologies in the educational space of higher education in Russia. This process is supported and initiated, among other things, by the modern Russian authorities, whose actions are based on the presumption of the ability of online education to provide the same quality of the educational process that takes place in the classroom-contact format. The authors ‘ hypothesis is based on the fact that the widespread introduction of online education cannot be evaluated positively, since its quality has not been tested empirically. Institutionalization should be carried out only after it is scientifically confirmed “where”,” for whom”,” by whom “ online education can be implemented. For this purpose, the authors study the types of online education, its content, and assess the readiness of students to study online. The goal is formulated as determining the segments of the educational process in higher education in which online education will improve the quality of training of qualified specialists.

Authors: Kriulina Alexandra
Published: May 2021

The author summarizes the author’s techniques used in psychology classes with the aim of meaningfully transforming educational information by bachelors into their personal knowledge. The methodology for developing techniques was based on idiographic and qualitative approaches. The productive ideas of V.P. Zinchenko about “living” knowledge and the fundamental difference between information and knowledge, his original and fruitful metaphor about the fifth dimension of being, which he associated with meaning; a consequence of this metaphor about the difficulties of the process of generating an affectively colored space of meanings by a person turned out to be useful. The procedural aspect and content of four specific techniques for transforming educational psychological information are described. Examples of the use of techniques in the study of specific psychological disciplines are given. A special technique of creating and accumulating knowledge about his person by transforming educational psychological information into verbal self-portraits is highlighted. The question is raised about the correspondence of the knowledge obtained by bachelors as a result of the application of the proposed techniques to the content of the concept of “living” knowledge in the understanding of V.P. Zinchenko. The author’s version of the answer to this question is offered. A hypothesis is formulated about the possible mechanisms of transformation of educational psychological information into meaningful knowledge of bachelors. Two promising directions for the continuation of the empirical research pre sented in the article are highlighted.
New estimates of eco-intensity considering the hazardous industrial pollution accumulation
Authors: Glazyrina Irina , Chavkin Andrey
Published: May 2021

The paper proposes a new approach to environmental and economic assessments based on the author’s economic and mathematical model that takes into account the accumulation of hazardous pollutants in natural environments. It also presents the results of calculations showing the dynamics of the increase in the negative impact depending on the natural assimilation of pollutants. This data can be considered as a quantitative assessment of the “environmental cost” that society pays by consuming goods the production of which is accompanied by the accumulation of long-lived pollutants. It is shown that this “price” can very significantly exceed the eco-intensity calculated without taking into account the accumulation of pollutants. Thus, the accumulation of pollutants as a result of economic activity is an important factor in the context of the impact on the ecological and economic balance. The implementation of the results obtained in the adjustment of the calculations of payments for negative environmental impact is proposed: to set payments per unit of production which are not proportional to emissions, but proportional to the eco-intensity calculated according to the proposed methodology. In this case, the accumulation of harmful substances in natural environments, the added value of production and the timing of project implementation will be taken into account. This corresponds to the concept of “green” economy, which provides the growth of well-being and quality of life with the maximum possible reduction of the negative anthropogenic pressure and improvement of the quality of the environment.

Environmental protection is now becoming one of the economic problems and is an extremely urgent task of humanity. The purpose of this article is to present the main results of the study and analysis of atmospheric air pollution by the asphalt plant, which is located almost in the center of Yekaterinburg; to investigate the compliance of the existing hazard class of the enterprise, which increases its production volumes, to correct the size and location of the sanitary protection zone of the plant, taking into account the wind rose, and to try to propose a number of measures to reduce the negative impact of the plants in this industry. In considering the impact of anthropogenic activities on nature, attention should be paid to the concept of sustainable development, which carries principles based on the satisfaction of human needs, with a focus on caring for the well-being of future generations. If we consider the issue from the perspective of this concept, then the asphalt plant, in order to prevent possible environmental damage, should invest material and money to further minimize the amount of pollutants.
Environmental justification of the distribution of pressure drop in a dead-end low-pressure gas network
Authors: Malysheva Anna
Published: May 2021

The gas supply system is determined by the classes of the elements of the gas transmission network associated with the pressure of the pumped natural gas. Laying gas pipelines in urban areas requires sufficient space around the pipes as a safety zone. The gas pipelines of the first level include gas communications in which the methane pressure is high or medium. To eliminate dead-end sections, gas pipelines are backed up (duplicating individual segments or ringing). The creation of a dead-end network is allowed only in small settlements. Dead-end network is a gas pipeline branching in various directions to gas consumers. Each section of the branched network has a one-way power supply.

The relevance of the study of soils polluted with solutions of acids and alkalis is given in the article. The main theoretical dependences of the electrical conductive properties on the parameters of the soil body are considered. The database of the values of the parameters of the pore space of soils of the Kemerovo region - Kuzbass is given. The electrical properties of water with different salt content, water solutions with different content of acids and alkalis have been determined. A database for interpreting the results of experimental sounding when monitoring changes in the ratio of the pollutant content to the volume of the pore space, depending on the electrical resistivity, has been formed. The relationship between the electrical conductive properties of solutions of acids and alkalis and their content has been established. It was found that with an increase in the content of acids and alkalis in the solution, a monotonic increase in the electric resistivity occurs. It was found that with an increase in the content of acids and alkalis in the solution, a monotonic decrease in the resistivity occurs; this regularity is the physical basis of the method for diagnosing contaminated zones and monitoring the processes of their decontamination.

We describe in this article the developed software package. This software package improves the efficiency of the non-destructive quality control system for monolithic structures. The need to create a comprehensive tool was justified. This tool is capable of solving complex problems, both at the stage of technological design and during construction production. In construction, atypical heterogeneous tasks often arise that must be solved in conditions of financial, labor and time constraints. This is due to the specifics of the construction industry. A new direction - “the potential for the effectiveness of organizational and technological solutions” can solve this problem. Earlier studies of the potential for using non-destructive testing methods made it possible to form a scientific base for the formation of a comprehensive program program. The methodology for calculating the potential for using non-destructive testing methods in organizing the construction of residential buildings has been described. An algorithm for determining the qualitative characteristics of the potential during the implementation of the construction project was also developed. This algorithm includes 4 stages: comparative analysis of the existing situation at the facility; selection and establishment of levels of values of the parameters of ATM calculation of organizational and technical potential; calculation of a psychophysical assessment corresponding to the value of the potential.

Published: May 2021

Subject of research is analysis of the possibilities for the development of integrated management systems for construction production using BIM technologies in the field of resource provision of the construction site. Objectives: study the features and problems of the modern approach to control over the distribution of material resources and construction management in terms of the implementation of design solutions. Research into the implementation and use of information technologies to improve the organization of construction production at the construction site of an industrial facility, preparation for construction at the design stages and before design. Results: the obsolescence of the classical approaches and methods of construction control and the effectiveness of the use of complex programs that combine all the tools for effective construction management have been proved. The main directions in the field of improving the tools for monitoring the resource provision of construction are identified. A methodology for organizing a calendar schedule and monitoring the sufficiency of materials and resources through the concept of “ assignment ” for a construction contractor is proposed . Conclusions: using of integrated computer systems already in 2020 allows for effective construction control, especially in matters of accurate, correct and timely provision of the construction site with the necessary materials. An important conclusion that was obtained as a result of the research is that the creation of a unified software system for the control system for construction production is a priority task in the field of organizing construction production. Simplicity, comfort of use even in the most remote areas of construction makes such systems indispensable and greatly facilitate the work of construction management.
A new approach to project planning under uncertainty
Authors: Dayoub Nbras , Fakhratov Muhammad
Published: May 2021

This research paper aims to present a dynamic model in the project planning process that is characterized by simplicity and effectiveness, taking into account the internal and external conditions of the project, storing the practical experience and using it later in the subsequent planning processes. The proposed model consists of several entities that have their own independent properties. These entities are linked with each other by bilateral relationships that measure the effect of each one on the other. The proposed model takes into account the different working conditions that may arise during the implementation process. The model has demonstrated possibilities for resource allocation, risk management, forecasting, dynamic planning based on different scenarios, and studying the effectiveness of implementation and the resources usage.
