Authors: Pryalukhina A , Trotsenko A , Khrapenko I 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
The paper is devoted to the development of addictive behavior in adolescents and the possibilities of its prevention. The authors presented a theoretical analysis of alcoholism in general and identified the main issues on the example of adolescents of the Kola Peninsula. This paper focuses on the environmental peculiarities of the problem, since living conditions in the polar region contribute to the development of addictive behavior. The study involved 539 respondents of both sexes, with an average age of 15 years, who formed two groups: deviant and standardized adolescents. Considering that subjects with addictions could modify their answers to be more socially desirable, the deviant group was formed based on the data provided by organizations working with them. The empirical research identified the psychological factors of alcohol addiction of adolescents, determined and analyzed their manifestations specific for this age group. It presented detailed prescription of mental states, alcohol consumption motives, communication and organizational skills, specificity of responsible behavior, locus control, style of family education and relations. The research also revealed the relationship between these indicators. It was found that adolescents with alcohol addiction had problems with somatic and mental health; the motives for alcohol consumption included social, pseudo-cultural and hedonistic motives. The mental state of adolescents affected the alcohol addiction and depended on their communication skills. The study of the locus control in both groups revealed no significant differences. Both groups had the prevalence of the external locus control and the low level of responsible behavior. The research showed that the preferences of a specific paternalism leaded to the formation of a propensity for alcohol consumption. The paper identified the key aspects of adolescent alcoholism in Kola Peninsula region, which could be used as basis for prevention activities.

Authors: Kikkas K N , Kulik S V , Krepkaia T N , Mokhorov D A 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
The article analyzes the relationship of the circumpolar countries in the framework of the sustainable development concept. The hypothesis of the interdependence of the development of circumpolar countries is considered. Interdependence in the development of the Arctic territories of the circumpolar countries has two conditions. The first condition means that it is obligatory to coordinate the policies of the circumpolar countries, aimed at developing the links between the circumpolar countries. The second condition means that income growth in the Arctic territory in one country stimulates income growth in the Arctic territory of the other countries. Foreign trade turnover is adopted as an indicator for assessing the volume and dynamics of trade cooperation among the countries. External debt and the volume of foreign direct investment in the circumpolar countries are adopted as indicators for the analysis of investment interaction and credit-and-financial interaction of the countries. The analysis of interaction in the field of ecology and environmental management was based on the study of the treaties regulating the issues of international interaction and legal regulation of ensuring the environmental safety of the Arctic region. The analysis of the cooperation among the countries does not demonstrate interdependence in the development of the Arctic territories of the circumpolar countries. The cooperation among the circumpolar countries exists, but the hypothesis of interdependence in the development is rejected.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
The paper considers the possibility to use neural network modeling for assessing the economic development of regions exemplified by the Arctic region of the Russian Federation – Murmansk region. The paper presents assessing and reasoning of this usage, describes its opportunities and threats. The author analyzes four indicators as main economic characteristics: gross regional product, an amount of investments into the fixed capital, retail turnover, foreign trade turnover. The study shows which factors have the most significant effect on these characteristics and comments on the obtained results. The author describes methodology of building the model and checks it empirically. In order to assess the model more accurately, it includes autoregression elements, which allows estimating not only direct interaction, but monitoring possible temporary inertia. Assessment results based on neural network modeling are compared with the results obtained on the basis of ADL equations (autoregressive distributed lag model). Accuracy of the final calculations is analyzed with using the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) in further preference to the model of neural networks.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
The paper deals with issues related to the assessment of the Arctic regions: it is currently considered a major strategic development priority warranting some study. Innovative potential is taken to mean the readiness and ability of regional business organizations to exploit innovative capacities. The article considers methods for assessing the innovative potential of the Arctic regions and proposes an algorithm for the assessment of the innovative potential level of the Arctic regions. This assessment makes it possible to determine a strategy for managing innovations in the regions and to identify the needs for resourcing innovations. Continuous monitoring of innovative potential and its components will contribute towards a more pertinent design and implementation of a regional policy for the innovative development of the Arctic regions. Further research is intended to utilize the proposed algorithm to make forecast calculations on the basis of statistical data with the aim of determining prospects for the development of the innovative potential of the Arctic regions with due account for main resource categories.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
This article considers the socio-economic development of the Arctic regions of Russia, using the example of some areas of the North-West Federal District. As part of the study the socio-economic development of the Arkhangelsk Region, the bordering Republic of Komi, and the Murmansk Region was assessed and analyzed. The analysis was carried out by studying the interaction of variables characterizing the social and economic spheres of human activity in the Arctic zone of Russia. In order to do it a system of indicators was formed. The gross regional product was chosen as a dependent indicator. The main indicators of the economic and social sphere were considered as influencing factors. The assessment was carried out by means of studying interrelations of variables and a comparative analysis of factors affecting the Arctic region. The article provides a literature review on the topic. Besides, the given study describes a methodology for conducting a comparative analysis of the socio-economic development of regions. The methodology includes: goal setting, collecting statistical data, analyzing the dynamics of the estimated indicators, primary processing of time series, bringing them to a normalized form, checking for stationarity using two criteria, bringing them to stationary form, the correlation analysis of the studied parameters, the construction of a regression model for the analysis of each region. In order to compare the socio-economic development of the Arctic regions three independent equations were compiled and the coefficients of equations were determined. The article provides general conclusions on the analysis of the identified interrelations. In the future, the model can be expanded in order to obtain more accurate results and to make the most accurate forecast of the socio-economic development of the analyzed regions.
Logistics in the Arctic Region through the example of cargo transportation in Murmansk Oblast by railway transport
Authors: Khrapov V , Yushchenko V 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
The economy of Murmansk Oblast retains its focus on raw materials. Extraction of mineral raw materials by virtue of geological and economic characteristics as well as natural and climatic features peculiar to the area will remain the dominant sector of regional economics for a long time. Extraction industry of the region is formed by extraction plants dealing with mineral raw materials, ferrous and nonferrous metal ores. The transport system plays the key role in the economy of Murmansk region. It is linked with the prevalence of industry sectors oriented toward production and distribution of considerable amounts of raw materials and metals in the region, but also with its advantageous geographical location suitable for year-round navigation and access to international maritime trade routes. Under these circumstances, each plant utilizes optimal logistical technologies of freight transportation, which provides the basis for the transportation network. Development of each plant dealing with raw mineral material extraction and processing is impossible without the development of the transport component, which in its turn requires its own development, and if realized, it will allow to increase the amount of cargo transportation in the region and will create new jobs, ensure the socio-economic development of the region. Consequently, the subject of logistics in the Arctic Region is indeed highly demanded and relevant.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
The goal of the study was to analyze the impact that innovative transformation of industry has on the socio-economic development of the Russian Arctic and to formulate proposals for accelerating and enhancing innovative processes in the industrial sector of the country’s Northern territories. We have established that, given the internal and external threats, challenges, restrictions and sanctions of Western countries, innovations and R&D should be stimulated, as these activities, primarily connected to impact of industrial transformation on socio-economic development of the Arctic, are particularly important not only from a scientific but also from a practical standpoint. We have considered the external and internal challenges and restrictions that hinder innovative development in the Arctic. We have confirmed that while growth of industrial production in the Arctic is ahead of the average indicators in the Russian Federation, it is largely due to extensive factors connected to intensified development of natural resources, rather than to generating and implementing innovative technological projects and usage of information technologies.
We have analyzed the potential to increase the number of organizations implementing technological innovations to 50% by 2024 (as established by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 204 of May 7, 2018), confirming that it would be difficult to achieve the target indicators without special policies and measures, given the current trends and rates of innovative development of the Arctic regions. Considering the integral estimate, we have found that the Arctic regions have low susceptibility to innovation. We have established that the financial capabilities of Arctic enterprises for generating and implementing innovative projects are limited. For example, only one of the thirteen enterprises studied is capable of technological innovation.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
The study conducted the impact of innovative activity on the economic development of the Russian Arctic. The methodology of the study envisaged the ranking of four regions that are fully included in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation by indicator «Innovative products production as a percentage of the total volume of products shipped ». The analysis of innovative activities level of the Russian Arctic in comparison with the average indicators of the country was carried out. It is shown that the Murmansk region is characterized by the highest volume of innovative products produced respectively, the Nenets Autonomous District - by the lowest. The direct impact of the production and sale of innovative products on economic indicators primarily due to an increase in gross regional product (GRP), fixed assets and the number of employed people is shown. In this case the Murmansk region having a high level of innovative activities showed an excess of the values of the Nenets Autonomous District by twelve of the nineteen indicators. In addition by GRP, fixed capital investments, fixed assets wear level and average monetary incomes per capita the Murmansk region showed an excess of average Russian values. It should be noted that the Nenets Autonomous District which produces the smallest amount of innovative products is ahead of the Murmansk region by GRP and investments in fixed assets mainly due to the exploitation of oil and gas resources. Performed correlation analysis confirmed the influence of innovative activities on the economic development of the Arctic. High correlation of the innovative products volume with significant economic indicators is shown.The study confirmed the hypothesis of the influence of innovative activities on the economic indicators of the Arctic regions.

Authors: Suleimankadieva A E , Kravtsova A Y 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
The Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District is a stable, dynamically developing region, where a solid foundation for further socio-economic development is laid, which allows building large-scale plans for the future. In this article, the authors, based on published sources and the regulatory framework of the Russian Federation, consider the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District, as one of the largest regions of the Russian Arctic, and the strategy of its socio-economic development. Through a detailed SWOT analysis of strengths and weaknesses, identifying opportunities and threats, studying statistical data, measures are proposed to improve the socio-economic development strategy of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District. The analysis revealed a number of problems in the socio-economic development of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District, namely: a significant predominance of the extractive industry over the processing industry, poorly developed transport infrastructure, the outflow of young people and problems of higher education, lack of accessibility and low quality of health services in remote and hard-to-reach areas of the region. To solve the problems identified during the analysis and strengthen the strengths, as well as improve the existing strategy of the socio-economic development of the region, the authors developed a number of strategic measures that will improve the quality of life in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District, its investment attractiveness, sufficient development not only in the production sector, but also the infrastructure of the region. The authors draw attention to the fact that all the identified problems and their solutions are interconnected. Consequently, the improvement of the proposed directions for the development of the YNAO must be comprehensive, which will make it possible to increase the effectiveness of the implementation of strategic measures for the socio-economic development of the YNAO.
Comprehensive assessment of consumer properties on bakery products with functional additives sold in Murmansk
Authors: Sokolova O A , Alloyarov K V , Baranova T A 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
Due to the economic recession resulting from low labor efficiency, a reduction in the number of the employable population and sanctions, constantly sending shock waves throughout the world community, Russian consumers have enhanced their consumption of staple foods, bakery products included. Overall production of bakery goods with a three-day shelf life has decreased, since neither minimum income consumers, that is, most of the population, nor retirement-age people can afford them. Conversely, production of shelf-stable low-moisture bakery goods has been increasing. (Crumb moistness is a regulated physicochemical parameter.) Bakery products are everyday goods. Being critical to the food sovereignty and security of the country, they are considered strategic goods. In view of this, the marketing activities of bakery goods manufacturers must accommodate state interests and be consistent with welfare policies. It is of particular importance today as the socio-economic and demographic conditions in Russia remain dire. According to the State Committee on Statistics of the Russian Federation (Goskomstat), about 40% of the country’s population have income that is less than the minimum subsistence level, while the annual natural population decline amounted to 218,000 people. The current situation requires that the population be provided with affordable, high-quality bakery products and the interests of manufactures (i.e., profit-making) and society at large be factored in and balanced out. These challenges are met both abroad and somewhat in Russia by applying a concept of enlightened, socially responsible and ethical marketing on a large scale.
Murmansk is the capital of the Arctic
Authors: Mitroshina M 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
The mastering of the Arctic is one of key priorities at the present stage of development of Russia. The Arctic region extremely rich with resources having great transit and military meaning is considered as the most important driver of strengthening of economic and geopolitical positions of the country. The Arctic zone of the Russian Federation (further AZRF) is conglomerate of separate administrative formations with the different status among which both the whole regions, and certain municipal districts, and the cities. At the same time the Arctic territory has no uniform office of management and, as a result, tools for central planning and control over execution of the made decisions. Besides, the majority of strategically important projects in our country are supervised by central office of the power, but not on places. And despite the general nature of problems of development of regions of the AZRF, each of them goes the way of overcoming difficulties and, without waiting for adoption of the basic “Arctic” law, develops regional legal acts and forms the administrative structures. But the governing body of the Arctic has to be one and be located in the Arctic zone – in its capital. According to the explanatory dictionary by S.I. Ojegov, the capital - the main town of the state, as a rule, the place of stay of the government and government institutions. Proceeding from this definition, the option of the organization of management process of the AZRF is presented in article and justification of a possibility of placement of governing bodies in Murmansk region is given.
Developing Gas Fields in the Yamal Peninsula as a Factor of Economic Development of the Arctic Zone of Russia
Authors: Katysheva E G 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
Currently, one of the main gas-producing regions in Russia is the Yamalo-Nenets autonomous district. Obviously, the efficiency of hydrocarbon fields development will affect the rate of the social-economic development of the entire region. In this article, we point out that surveying the detected gas deposits in the territory of the Yamal peninsula, as well as detailed field appraisal of those fields that have been discovered already can be important stages in developing the hydrocarbon potential of this region. We also point out that, during the detailed survey of a deposit field in the Tambey suite, a unique gas deposit was discovered. As one of the most important strategic directions in developing the resource base of the Yamal peninsula, there is an integrated investment project “Yamal-LNG”, which implies production of natural gas in the South-Tambey field, with subsequent liquefying and transporting to the consumers. In this article, we characterize the production capacity of the plant for producing liquefied natural gas (LNG), as well as logistic schemes to deliver LNG to the consumers. We point out that transporting LNG via the Northern sea rout has a number of sufficient advantages. Due to presence of some unique deposits of natural gas in the territory of the Yamal peninsula, we investigate the issue of plausibility of creating high-tech manufacturing plants in this region. We characterize special features of the technological complex currently under construction in the territory of the district. We mark that the level of development of the gas-producing and gas-processing plants directly depends on the positioning of the transport network for delivering hydrocarbons and cargo to world markets. We point out that large infrastructural objects we created for transporting products and cargo in the Yamal peninsula – such as the multifunctional year-round sea port Sabetta, the international airport Sabetta; also, a new transport project “The Northern Latitudinal Railway” is now being designed; it implies constructing some railway infrastructure. We make a conclusion about the significance of the project “Yamal-LNG” for economic development of not only the Yamal peninsula but also of the entire Arctic zone of Russia.
