Published: October 2022

The data on the growth of prices for Arctic fish species in 2015, 2018, compared to 2013, the period of the relatively “hard” ruble, are presented. The reasons for the price increase are shown. An important one is the replacement of the “historical” method of providing biological resources to fishermen with the “auction” one, since it is associated with payment for the right to harvest. This leads to an increase in production costs and prices for fish products, as well as to a decrease in fish consumption by the popula-tion. Objectives of the article: to develop proposals to increase the supply of products from Arctic fish to Russian markets (primarily to the markets of the North-West of the country) and to reduce their prices. The relevance of the article is due to the lack of practical measures to reduce the prices of Arctic fish products and increase consumption. The most important results: the author's proposals to stimulate increased sales of fish products in Russia provided by the fish products of the Northern basin are substantiated. Practical significance: it is shown that the use of the developed proposals will reduce consumer prices for fish products, an increase in visits of fishing vessels to Arctic ports and unloading of fish products will lead to a multiplier effect by improving the activities of fish processing enterprises and servicing the fishing fleet.

The article analyzes the possibilities for prospecting, evaluation, exploration and extraction of zinc and lead deposits in the Arctic. The reserves and resources of zinc and lead deposits and ore occurrences on the Novaya Zemlya archipelago, on Vaygach Island, in the Polar Urals and in the Northern Timan are cal-culated on the territory of the Russian Arctic. The predominant reserves are represented by the Pavlovskoye deposit, which is being prepared for development by JSC First Mining Company of the Rosatom State Corporation. In 2019, the design of a mining enterprise was initiated, no lead and zinc mining has been carried out within the Arctic zone. A promising object is the Saureyskoye deposit in the Polar Urals. The problem is the remoteness of the site from transport highways. It is necessary to plan the construction of a dirt road from the deposit to the railway. Cargo can then be sent to the ports of the Gulf of Ob or to the port of Indiga when it is put into operation. Lead and zinc deposits on the island of Vaygach and on the Arctic coast near Amderma were previously developed. It is necessary to reassess their reserves and to determine possible development options. The extracted ore will be transported through the port of Amderma. In the Northern Timan, reassessment of non-ferrous metal ores should be carried out in a complex (lead, zinc, molybdenum, copper, nickel). Ore mining may be appropriate in connection with the construction of the deep-water seaport of Indiga. The purpose of this article is to study the mining, geological and economic characteristics of lead-zinc ore deposits and the spatial organization of marine communications for the development of the mineral resource complex of the Arctic zone of Russia. Mining facilities in the Arctic have an important strategic importance for strengthening national security of the country.

The article considers the state of industrial policy in the subjects of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation both in terms of the status and dynamics of the regional consumer market and the mechanisms of state regulation and support. In the current situation of economic sanctions and external threats, the main problems of the consumer market are the following: rising prices, transformation of transport and logistics schemes, declining quality of goods and services, reduction of their assortment. Opportunities for solving them could include: location of production sites closer to the end consumer, inter-production and interregional cooperation and specialization, state regulation and compensation of fuel, energy and transport tariffs, infrastructure development. The article considers a number of generalized cases of consumer preferences formation depending on the goods belonging of local producers to this or that sector of the “Price x Quality” matrix. A number of systemic problems associated with the need for local producers to respond to the transformational changes to which the regional consumer market is exposed today has been identified. In order to create a set of support measures and effective tools, it is necessary to develop a system of long–term guidelines and strategizing in the field of regional industrial policy: on the one hand, it is integrated into the state vertical of industrial management, on the other hand, it takes into account territorial features, industrial potential and consumer expectations of the population in the regions. Based on the analysis, the authors propose to create a single document in each region of the Russian Federation with the working title “Fundamentals of regional industrial policy and consumer market development”.
Arctic Military Posturing and Its Influence on the Development of the Northern Sea Route
Authors:   Northern (Arctic) Federal University named after M.V. Lomonosov, Bhagwat Jawahar V.
Published: October 2022

The author traces the evolution of military presence in the Arctic by Russia and NATO in the article. He analyses the impact of military posturing on Arctic geopolitics. The author advocates that while military capabilities are essential for deterrence, unnecessary military rhetoric by NATO and Russia is detrimental to peace and security in the Arctic. Arctic geopolitics is fraught with tensions due to regular highly publicized military exercises and posturing in the area. The new Arctic Cold War is likely to affect Russia more adversely due to Western sanctions post-2014 and the requirement to develop the NSR as an inter-nationally competitive transport corridor. Russia has a legitimate right to protect its security in the Arctic. However, the author argues it is unnecessary to highlight such events regularly, and it may be more useful to focus on the economy and rationalize military spending. Russia needs to focus on its relationship with the Nordic countries and reemphasize its peaceful and cooperative engagement in the Arctic. Its leadership of the Arctic Council is crucial to reducing tensions in the Arctic.

MFPE: A Loss Function based on Multi-task Autonomous Driving
Authors: Li Youwei , Qu Jian
Published: October 2022

Road tracking, traffic sign recognition, obstacle avoidance, and real-time acceleration and deceleration are some critical sub-tasks in autonomous driving. This research proposed to use a single-sensor (camera) based intelligent driving platform to achieve multi-task (four subtasks) autonomous driving. We adjusted the function combinations and hyperparameters of the model to improve the model training and model testing performance. The experiments showed that the existing function combinations could not significantly improve the autonomous driving performance, and the loss function had a significant impact on the autonomous driving performance of the model. Therefore, we designed a novel loss function (MFPE) based on multi-task autonomous driving. The models with the MFPE loss function outperformed the original and existing models in model training and actual multi-task autonomous driving performance. Meanwhile, the model with the MFPE loss function achieved multi-task autonomous driving under different lighting conditions, untrained routes, and different static obstacles, which indicates that the MFPE loss function enhances the robustness of the model. In addition, the speed of the intelligent driving platform can reach up to 5.4 Km/h.

Bencana banjir yang terjadi di Desa Botumoito Kecamatan Botumoito Kabupaten Boalemo berakibat pada terendamnya rumah masyarakat dan terganggungnya akses jalan Trans Sulawesi. Akan tetapi penanganannya masih kurang maksimal. Hal ini diakibatkan salah satunya karena minimnya mitigasi bencana banjir. Permasalahan ini seharusnya melahirkan kebijakanyang seharusnya diambil oleh pemrintah desa setempat. Melalui pengabdian yang dilakukan dengan mmelibatkan pihak-pihak terkait dengan waktu serta sasaran yang jelas, maka hasil pengabdian menunjukan bahwa mitigasi bencana banjir merupakan salah satu hal yang penting dalam meminimalisir dampak yang ditimbulkan dari bencana banjir. Kendati pentingnya mitigasi bencana banjir namun masih kurang maksimal dilakukan, padahal salah satu priritas penggunaan dana desa adalah untuk mitigasi bencana. Salah satu hal yang mempengaruhi kurang maksimalnya mitigasi bencana banjir di desa Botumoito adalah minimnya dana desa yang dialokasikan untuk mitigasi banjir tersebut. Hal ini disebabkan karena dana desa lebih difokuskan pada penanganan pandemik Covid-19 sebagai bencana non-alam. Akan tetapi, terhadap pertanggungjawaban dana desa tersebut telah dilakukan sesuai dengan model publikasi yang ditetapkan oleh Permendesa Nomor 7 tahun 2021.

Menurunnya kunjungan wisatawan akibat pandemik covid-19 menjadikan promosi wisata menjadi langkah konkrit dalam memulihkan kembali sektor kepariwisataan. Promosi tersebut dapat dilakukan melalui media sosial yang dapat menjangkau seluruh pihak. Akan tetapi, penggunaaan media sosial justru dapat beribas pada hal-hal negatif ketika promosi yang dilakukan tidak sesuai dengan etika dan tanggungjawab dalam menggunakan media sosial. Persoalan minimnya pengetahun masyarakat di desa Patoameme terhadap etika penggunaan media sosial untuk promosi destinasi wisata harus diijawab dengan berbagai langkah, salah satunya adalah melakukan pengabdian masyarakat sebagai tanggungjawab dari perguruan tinggi sekaligus mengamalkan tridarma perguruan tinggi. Hasil pengabdian menunjukan bahwa promosi destinasi wisata merupakan hal yang sangat penting dilakukan dalam pengembangan suatu destinasi wisata. Melalui promosi tersebut maka kunjungan wisatawan akan meningkat dan akan berimbas pada peningkatan pendapatan dari aktifitas wisatawan yang dilakukan pada destinasi wisata. Salah satu bentuk promosi destinasi wisata ialah melalui media sosial. Akan tetapi, perkembangan media sosial yang begitu pesat harus diimbangi dengan etika hukum dalam penggunaan media sosial. Hal ini dimaksudkan agar promosi destinasi wisata yang dilakukan tidak bertentangan dengan kaedah hukum yang berlaku.

Decision-Making and Implications of Sex-Reassignment Surgery in Intersex Individuals in the Arab World: A Case Series
Authors: Chabbouh Alfred , Chehab Rim , Charro Elie
Published: October 2022

Background: Knowledge, clinical guidelines, and medicolegal frameworks regarding intersex individuals are inexistent in the Arab world. Some medical professionals view intersexuality as a disorder of sexual development that often needs sex-reassignment surgery to correct while others view intersexuality as a natural variation along the sex spectrum. No study to date addresses the vast gap in the literature. 
Methods: We contacted eleven non-governmental and civil society organizations involved in matters of sexuality and gender in the Arab world through email. Eight organizations answered but only one, Helem, had been directly involved in supporting intersex individuals and agreed to an interview. We conducted a semi-structured interview with Helem after consent was taken from intersex individuals or their legal guardians to share their experiences.
Results: We studied three cases of intersex individuals, of which two underwent sex-reassignment surgery at a young age. The surgeries were experimental in nature and had negative health consequences. Decision-making is influenced by physician factors, notably lack of knowledge, and parental factors, like stigma. Sociocultural reasons factor in the decision more than scientific evidence. Physicians, in the cases presented, dealt with intersexuality as a rare pathology requiring urgent surgical intervention. Parents of intersex individuals suffer significant psychosocial stressors.
Conclusion: Medical professionals are ill-equipped to deal with intersex individuals in the Arab world, often performing unethical and abusive practices for which they are not held accountable. Parent education and referral to intersex-knowledgeable physicians seem to deter parents from opting for SRS. Intersexuality is severely understudied and ignored in the medical field. Guidelines and medicolegal frameworks are required to address this issue.
