Published: April 2021

Insufficient rainfall results in water shortage and eventually leads to drought. This research has investigated drought by utilizing standardize precipitation index in monthly mean rainfall data for 30 years from 1988 to 2017 in Rajshahi division, a region in the northwestern part of Bangladesh. Estimated indices have identified that the years 1992, 1994, 2006, and 2012 experienced moderate to severe droughts, and the year 2010 suffered from extreme drought. Non-parametric and linear trend analyses have shown that the number of draughts in the study area has been growing. The study area is thus judged as moving forward to experience more droughts from lack of water due to rainfall deficit, especially during monsoon. This region has already started to experience a shortage of rainwater, approximately 18%, in the monsoon season. This shortage is likely to affect the volume of surface water and thus the groundwater recharging, which would distort irrigation for agriculture in the region. This work would therefore assist in policy-making addressing the watering system of the region to ensure smooth agricultural production.

Published: April 2021

For the first time, the wet deposition and washout rates of soluble forms of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) were estimated in rains during the spring AeroRadCity experiment in Moscow. Rains are an important factor in reducing atmospheric pollution with PTEs in Moscow. Due to the resuspension of contaminated particles of road dust and urban soils, industrial and traffic impact, waste and biomass burning, rainwater is highly enriched in Sb, Pb, Se, Cd, and S, and less enriched in P, Ba, As, W, Mn, Sn, Na, Co, Ni, and Be. Significant wet deposition (μg/m2 per event) and washout rates (μg/m2 per hour) of PTEs were revealed during the public holidays in May which corresponded to the elevated aerosol content due to predominant air advection from southern and south-western regions in this period. During continuous rains, the level of PTEs wet deposition sharply decreases on the second and subsequent days due to the active below-cloud washout of aerosols during the initial precipitation events. We show that the length of the dry period and aerosol content before the onset of rain determines the amount of solid particles in rainwater, which leads to an increase in rainwater pH, and strongly affects wet deposition and washout rates of PTEs of mainly anthropogenic origin (W, Zn, Bi, Cd, Sb, Ni, B, S, K, and Cu). At the same time rainfall intensity contributes to an increase in wet deposition and washout rates of Se, As, B, Cu, Sb, S, Cd, Ba, Rb, and K. The obtained results provide a better understanding of atmospheric deposition processes and can be useful in assessing the urban environmental quality.
Long-Term Studies Of Surface-Sediment Diatom Assemblages In Assessing The Ecological State Of Lake Ladoga, The Largest European Lake
Authors: Ludikova Anna V.
Published: April 2021

The study continues a series of observations started in the late 1950s, aimed at inferring changes in the Lake Ladoga ecosystem state recorded in the surface-sediment diatom assemblages. At the pre-anthropogenic stage (prior to the 1960s), the composition of the surface-sediment diatom assemblages indicated an oligotrophic state of Lake Ladoga. With the increased P load to the lake (late 1960s–1980s), the transition to a mesotrophic state was recorded via increased proportions of eutrophic species and decreased abundances of the taxa typical of the pre-anthropogenic stage. In the early 1990s, the composition of the surface-sediment diatom assemblages still indicated a mesotrophic state despite a decreased external P load. At the present de-eutrophication stage of Lake Ladoga (the 2000s), the abundances of eutrophic taxa steadily decrease while some taxa typical of the pre-anthropogenic period return to their dominating position in the surface-sediment diatom assemblages. However, despite the decreased P concentrations, the Lake Ladoga ecosystem has not returned to its pre-anthropogenic state as indicated by the present-day composition of the surface-sediment diatom assemblages. This suggests a delayed ecosystem response to the decreased anthropogenic pressure, and possibly some irreversible changes resulting from the eutrophication. At present, de-eutrophication processes and ecosystem recovery are superimposed upon the recent climatic changes that govern the onset and duration of the vegetative seasons for the phytoplankton communities in Lake Ladoga. The diatom-inferred changes in the ecological state of Lake Ladoga are in agreement with the results of longterm hydrochemical and hydrobiological studies.
Sustainable Development Goals Against Covid-19: The Performance Of Brazilian Cities In Sdgs 3 And 6 And Their Reflection On The Pandemic
Authors: Da Silva Felipe R. , Câmara Samuel F. , Pinto Francisco R. , Soares Marcelo , Viana Michael B. , De Paula Thiago M.
Published: April 2021

The aim of this article is to understand the relationship between two of the Sustainable Development Goals (UN Agenda 2030) – Good health and well-being (SDG 3) and Clean water and sanitation (SDG 6) – and the statistics of the COVID-19 pandemic (number of cases and deaths) in Brazilian cities. To analyze this relationship, we used secondary data from public organizations on the SDG panorama by city and conducted a moderated regression analysis. The sample was composed of 649 cities with a population exceeding 50 thousand inhabitants. The results show that the higher were the indicators used to measure SDGs, the lower was the number of cases and deaths from the disease. We have also proved that cities’ population density and their distance from the pandemic epicenter moderate this relationship, since a higher level of these moderation variables increases the impact of a lower level of SDGs 3 and 6 coverage in society on the number of cases and deaths from COVID-19. Thus, the efficient and effective investment to reach SDGs 3 and 6 is directly associated with cities’ ability to successfully deal with infectious diseases and the resulting number of deaths. As for its contribution, this research innovates by establishing a model for analyzing the impact of compliance with SDGs on cities’ performance in their fight against COVID-19, which may also suit other nations.

Published: April 2021

In view of the vital significance of water resources and issues emerging from their temporal and spatial distribution and utilization posing serious problems to the land resources and to the society United Nations has identified sustainable management of water resources (SDG 6) as one of the seventeen major Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this perspective, the purpose of the study is to identify the groundwater potential zones in the hard rock terrain of Betul-Chhindwara Region, Madhya Pradesh, India, using AHP technique. The study area comprises the sub-watersheds of Tawa river (Narmada basin), Tapi river (Tapi basin), Kanhan and Pench rivers (Godavari basin). Various thematic layers such as geomorphology, geology, physiography, rainfall, soil, slope, lineament, drainage density, groundwater depth, and land use/ land cover were developed. The analytical hierarchy process helps to delineate groundwater prospect zones, which are categorized into five classes, i.e. very poor, poor, moderate, good, and very good based on objective, criteria, and preference. The good, moderate, and poor groundwater potential zones cover 4815 sq. km., 6423 sq. km, and 4857 sq. km, respectively, comprising 22.46%, 29.96%, and 22.65% of the entire region under study. The result indicates that 15.22% of the area comprising 3262.10 sq. km have very good groundwater potential whereas 9.71% (2080 sq. km) has very poor groundwater potential. The obtained result has been verified through field check based on the yield data collected from 16 bore wells in the study area. The accuracy of the results was 75% that proves the efficiency of the adopted techniques. Thus, this study will be efficient for the sustainable development and management of groundwater in the study area.

Published: April 2021

Despite the achieved success in the fight against tuberculosis, the disease remains an immediate problem for a number of countries including Russia. To a large extent, the reasons for the high incidence and mortality of the population are not only medical but also social in nature, which leads to the emergence of geographical patterns in the spread of the disease. The purpose of the study is to identify the spatio-temporal conditions that shape the epidemiological situation of tuberculosis in Russia at both the national and regional levels. Using GIS technologies, an analysis of the current spread of the infection in the Russian Federation was carried out based on data for the period from 2006 through 2017. Typological classification of regions according to the dynamics and magnitude of the incidence rate has been developed. Based on the cartographic analysis that was carried out, regions with the most unfavorable tuberculosis situation in the Russian Federation were identified for a more detailed study at the municipal level.

Authors: Fardin Sara Carolina Soares Guerra , Do Nascimento Talita Jardim , Fardin Henrique Delboni
Published: April 2021

Urban growth is often accompanied by significant environmental changes, which include modification of the natural landscape and the problems related to it, such as real estate speculation, marginalization of the population, landslide risks, flooding, as well as pressure on environmentally protected areas. Therefore, it is necessary to understand how will new urban development affect the already modified space without generating further environmental problems. The research aimed to analyse five projects of allotments in Governador Valadares/Brazil between 2015 and 2017. Besides the information on the projects themselves, geographic information systems (GIS) were used along with laws and bibliography. The biggest obstacle observed was the lack of standardization in the process required by the City Hall, which culminated in projects with different characteristics, including those that did not present important analyzes, such as the Civil Construction Waste Management Plan. It is necessary to move forward in discussions related to urban environmental sustainability, standardizing the possible actions, not only in the municipality of Governador Valadares.

Stylistic Features of Diplomatic Texts in Czech
Authors: Davletshina N. V.
Published: April 2021

The current article is devoted to the analysis and description of the language of a modern diplomatic text, which represents a diplomatic substyle of a business style. In the Czech language, which possesses a wide stylistic differentiation, a diplomatic substyle remains insufficiently studied. A diplomatic substyle is an integral part of the language of diplomatic communication, in which the Heads of the State and the Government, the ministers of foreign affairs, and representative institutions are involved. This fact brings it closer to the language of political communication.For this reason, the author aims at characterizing the stylistic features of traditional text types in the diplomatic correspondence between the Czech Republic and the Russian Federation, and highlighting their similarities and differences in form as well as in content. By the example of original texts the structure of a diplomatic document is represented: a form of address, protocol forms of courtesy and compliments, its semantic core and the argumentation part as essential parts of a document.The fore cited analysis of the functional-communicative features of the diplomatic texts lexical composition shows the presence of professional names and terms, idioms and cliché, as well as new lexical units and terms that reflect socio-political changes in the Czech Republic and new geopolitical realities.
Sense Perception of Creolized Text

Published: April 2021

The article deals with the problem of semantic perception of a creolized text consisting of an image and a word denoting the depicted cultural object. The experiment is aimed at solving the problem of the influence of the non-speech component on the understanding of a speech message. In the course of the experiment carried out using Ch. Osgood’s method of semantic differential, the subjects recorded the results of the experiment using questionnaires, in which they reflected their mental images formed during the semantic perception of the creolized text. The study showed that the content of the creolized text differs from the content of both the image and the word denoting it. These differences arise due to the functional and substantial qualities of the depicted cultural objects, since the content of these objects is the content of the words themselves that denote them. Consequently, CT has an enriched content that is different from the content of the object’s image and its verbal designation.
The Syntactic and Semantiс Properties of Modal Words in German
Authors: Averina A.
Published: April 2021

The aim of the article is to examine the semantic and syntactic properties of modal words inGerman. The paper analyzes the types of modal semantics which are encoded in modal words; the peculiarities of the syntactic use of modal words are shown; the relationship between the type of modal semantics and their syntactic use is revealed, and the question which words with evaluative semantics can beclassified as modal is considered. The relevance of this kind of work is determined by the following circumstances: firstly, it is necessary to describe the syntax and the semantics of modal words and their grammarfeatures; secondly, it is important to reveal the relationship between modality and evaluativity and, thirdly,to define the conditions under which modal words can encode not one but several modal meanings. Byusing the transformation method and the method of component analysis the following groups of modalwords were identified: modal words with alethic semantics; modal words with epistemic semantics; modalwords with evidential semantics. Some modal words build separate groups: The modal word angeblichhas evidential semantics, because it indicates the third person as a source of information; the modal wordwahrscheinlich can have epistemic or evidential or alethic and evidential semantics; the modal word leideris able to express an emotional attitude of the speaker. The identification of different types of modal words is possible through the research of their syntactic properties, namely: the usage in dependent object clauseswith the epistemic and factive predicate in the matrix clause; in conditional sentences as well as the abilityto have independent usage as an answer to a question without a question word.
Image as a Model in the German Language: Practices of Definitional Analyses
Authors: Printsipalova O. V.
Published: April 2021

The paper considers the semantic structure of the concept IMAGE in the German language. The article presents the results of the definitional analysis of the lexeme “Image”. The procedure of the definitional analysis, which enabled us to identify cognitive integral elements in order to objectify the concept of IMAGE, is specified. The classification of all identified semes is given in accordance with the activity-based approach; and the dominants of the ideal cognitive model of IMAGE are singled out, which include SUBJECT, OBJECT, MOTIVES, RESULTATIVE, and PROCEDURAL-SUBSTANTIVE SIDES of the concept. The structure of the idealized cognitive model of IMAGE is constructed of the units identified at the three stages of componential analysis. It is argued that the idealized conceptual model is associated with positive characteristics of an individual or a group of people in the eyes of others. At the same time the terminals included in the slots of the cognitive model are attacked in order to discredit a political opponent or to indicate the negative consequences of the politics conducted by the members of the outgroup. The author comes to the conclusion that the speaker purposefully tries to present his political opponents as inconsistent with the idealized cognitive model of IMAGE, discrediting their positive image in the eyes of others.

Authors: Livingston David , Kirubakaran Ezra , David Eben Priya
Published: April 2021

Cloud Computing is an excellent technology for Micro Medium and Small Enterprises, which operate under budget shortage for setting up their own Information Technology infrastructure that requires capital investment on resources such as computers, storage and networking devices.  Now-a-days, major Cloud Providers like Google and Amazon provide cloud services to its customers for managing their email, contact list, calendar, documents, and their own websites.  MSME can take advantage of the cloud-based solutions offered by various Cloud Service Providers for equipping their own employees in doing their day to day activities more effectively and on the cloud.  Though cloud computing promotes less expensive and collaborative work environment among a group of employees, it involves risks in keeping the resources such as computing and data secured.  Different mechanisms are available for securing the data on the cloud among which encryption of data using cryptographic algorithm is the widely used one.  Among various encryption symmetric algorithms, Advanced Encryption Standard is the more secured symmetric encryption algorithm for implementing data privacy on the cloud.  In this paper, the authors have discussed some of the issues involved in adopting the cloud in an organization and proposed solutions that will benefit an organization while uploading and managing data in files and databases on the cloud.

COUNTERFEIT GOODS IN THE MARKETPLACE ON THE EXAMPLE OF WILDBERRIES: PROBLEM STATEMENT
Authors: Sal’nikova A. V. , Kudimova Yu. A.
Published: April 2021

The article analyses the distribution of counterfeit products through marketplaces in Russia in the context of the rapid growth of e-commerce, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the analysis of statistical data of reports and reports of companies and organizations specializing in research of the counterfeit market in Russia, the paper concludes that marketplaces are one of the channels for the distribution of counterfeit goods. The consequences of selling counterfeit goods online have a negative impact on the state, which does not receive tax revenues to the budget, rights holders who lose their profits and reputation, as well as on consumers in the form of harm to health and threat to life. The study of the work of one of the popular marketplaces Wildberries allows us to speak about the lack of interest of the marketplace as an online trading platform in monitoring sellers (suppliers) of goods for violation of intellectual property rights. The authors of the article made a number of proposals to improve measures to counter the appearance and spread of counterfeit goods through marketplaces. The paper determines that the fight against counterfeiting should be carried out in a complex and only with the interested participation of the state, copyright holders, buyers and marketplaces.
THE MECHANISM OF CURRENCY REGULATION IN MODERN CONDITIONS: THEORETICAL ASPECT
Authors: Bunevich K. G. , Gorbacheva T. A.
Published: April 2021

One of the important factors for improving the economic situation in the Russian Federation is the optimization of the mechanism of currency regulation. Its role as the main means of implementing monetary policy is of particular importance in countries where the national currency has limited convertibility, since it is not in stable demand in the global financial markets. The purpose of this article is to summarize existing theoretical approaches to the problem of formation and regulation of the exchange rate based on the study of the evolution of relevant theories and concepts, as well as the definition of their scope of application and the conditions of validity.

ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT SYSTEM
Authors: Matveevskii S. S.
Published: April 2021

The paper considers the content and features of the efficiency assessment system of the Asian Development Bank. The article presents the basic requirements for the creation of reliable systems for assessing the activities of development banks, based on foreign experience. The author gives a brief description of Asian Development Bank’s activities, emphasizes the importance of Asian Development Bank’s Independent Evaluation Department. The author’s analysis of the Asian Development Bank performance assessment system showed that the bank uses both classical financial indicators and specialized generalized economic indicators that are quantitatively measurable. The entire system of economic indicators is divided into 4 levels, which makes it possible to separately assess both the development in the Asian Pacific Region, the contribution of Asian Development Bank to this development, and the quality of management in the Asian Development Bank itself; for each level of assessment the author used its own set of indicators (indicators). Asian Development Bank’s corporate performance cascade system ensures that all staff are engaged in achieving set goals. It is important that Asian Development Bank uses the transition from quantitative data to qualitative characteristics, which solves the problem of inaccurate data: clusters of indicators are formed. Asian Development Bank’s performance assessment system is not linked to the use of a single performance criterion.

TRANSFORMATION LEADERSHIP IN VIRTUAL TEAMS
Authors: Kozhevnikova L. V. , Starovoytova I. E.
Published: April 2021

The article is devoted to a new model for organizing production activities that is adequate to the challenges of digitalization – virtual organizations. The authors show that the widespread adoption of virtual organizations that have no clear boundaries in space and time over the past decade gives rise to new management problems. Old management models based on hierarchy, authoritarian approach, and punishment / reward as the main motivators are not effective in virtual teams. Traditional transactional leadership should be replaced by transformational leadership, which involves an individual approach, intellectual stimulation, idealized influence and inspiring motivation. The authors indicate the social and psychological difficulties of the spread of transformational leadership. The paper emphasizes the need for the formation of leadership, managerial and digital competencies for effective leadership in project virtual teams.

METHODOLOGICAL DIFFICULTIES OF STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF THE SCIENTIFIC POTENTIAL OF RUSSIAN REGIONS
Authors: Znamenskiy D. Yu.
Published: April 2021

The article considers the methodology of the analysis of the scientific potential of the regions. The paper notes the importance of an integrated, systemic approach to understanding of the category of scientific potential. The author emphasizes the importance of quantitative indicators of the scientific potential of the regions, amenable to statistical analysis. The study attempts to analyse the key statistical indicators of the development of science used to assess the scientific potential of the regions. As a rule, the list of such indicators is limited to the number of scientific organizations functioning in the region, the volume of their funding, as well as a number of personnel indicators. At the same time, the author notes the narrowness of the exclusively resource-based approach to the assessment of the scientific potential and the need to take into account its other factors: informational, social, financial, etc.

Parameters of equations for group growth of golden king crab Lithodes aequispinus in the northern Okhotsk Sea
Authors: Metelyov E. A. , Chernienko I. S.
Published: April 2021

Growth of golden king crab in the northern Okhotsk Sea is considered. Parameters of von Bertalanffy growth equation were estimated using SLCA method (Shepherd's length composition analysis): the asymptotic carapace widthW∞was 252.0 mm for males and 165.3 mm for females; the growth rate K was 0.081 and 0.130, respectively. Relative increment per molt for males with carapace width of 116-154 mm was estimated as 11.6 % for the carapace width and 10.9 % for the carapace length. Directly determined (by tagging) dependence of males molt frequency on their size was approximated by logistic curve of molting probability with the threshold of 164 mm carapace width for 50 % probability of annual molt. Mean probability of annual molt for recruits was estimated as 87 %, for pre-recruits — as 92 %. Taking into account the data on increment per molt and annual molt probability, the growth curve for males had the parameters:W∞= 296 mm andK= 0.073. The age of recruits was estimated as 9 years by SLCA approach and as 8 years on the results of tagging. The growth equations parameters were determined for the first time for golden king crab in natural habitat in the Russian waters. These results could be used in models and for theoretical studies of Crustacean life history.
Potential impact of harvesting on Tanner crab (Chionoecetes bairdi) on state of its commercial stock off the coast of Kamchatka
Authors: Mikhailova O. G. , Ivanov P. Yu.
Published: April 2021

Potential impact of landing on the stock and biological state of Tanner crab is analyzed for two fishery districts at Kamchatka in 2013-2020. In the Kamchatka-Kuril fishery subzone, the number of commercial males without limbs and with old shell increased in catches that may be associated with active operations of alive-crab vessels in 2015-2017. In the Petropavlovsk-Commander fishery subzone, cases of injured Tanner crabs catch became frequent after resumption of the crab harvesting in 2017, as well as the cases of commercial crabs with old shell, that also could be explained by operations of alive-crab vessels. The operations of such vessels are distinguished by strict sorting of caught crabs with removing the individuals of lower quality. As the result, the crabs without limbs and commercial males at late stages before molting were accumulated in the areas of sorting. The problem can be solved by measures for total registration (weighting) of catch before the start of sorting, concerning to all crabs with commercial size landed aboard. To avoid degradation of the Tanner crab population, development of catch processing aboard fishing vessels is recommended, with transportation of frozen products instead of live crabs.

Authors: Gorbatenko K. M.
Published: April 2021

Total biomass and production are evaluated for taxonomic groups of zooplankton sampled with Juday net (mesh size 0.168 mm) from the 0-200 m layer in the Bering Sea in 1986-2018. The annual mean stock of zooplankton is assessed as 245.1 . 106 t WW, or by taxonomic groups: copepods — 135.0 . 106 t (55.1 %), chaetognaths — 664.4 . 106 t (26.3 %), euphausiids — 30.8 . . 106 t (10.8 %), medusas — 7.9 . 106 t (3.2 %), and hyperiids — 7.0 . 106 t (2.9 %). The gross annual yield is estimated as 1378.6 . 106 t for copepods (P/B = 9.3), 422.5 . 106 t for chaetognaths (P/B = 6.0), 212.5 . 106 t for euphausiids (P/B = 9.0), 132.4 . 106 t for net medusas (P/B = 16.7), and 90.9 . 106 t for hyperiids (P/B = 12.3). The total annual yield of 2281.9 . 106 t, on average, was formed as a sum of 107.4 . 106 t produced in winter (P/B = 1.0), 889.6 . 106 t — in spring (P/B = 2.4), 755.2 . 106 t — in summer (P/B = 2.8), and 529.6 . 106 t — in autumn (P/B = 2.2). This annual yield was produced mostly by non-predatory zooplankton (1613.8 . 106 t), but also by predatory zooplankton (668.1 . 106 t). Mean annual P/B-ratio for the entire zooplankton in the Bering Sea was 8.5 that was in 1.4 times lower than in the Okhotsk Sea (P/B = 11.8), mainly because of predominance of less productive Copepoda species.
