Authors: Mishvelov E. G. , Ataev Z. V. , Kornienko A. I. 
Published: December 2022

Aim. In this work, the main aim was a retrospective analysis of the geo‐ecological state and problems of natural territorial complexes (NTC) of the valley of the plains area of the Kuma River in the context of hydrological and morphological dynamics for the period from the 18th century to the present.Material and Methods. The paper analyses the state of the landscape’s natural components in the region, for which topographic, sectoral and cadastral maps, digital relief model, satellite images were used. Openly available data of ministries, departments, archival and stock materials were used. The degree of anthropogenic transformation of the natural‐territorial complexes was calculated based on the coefficient of ecological stability of landscapes.Result. Using the example of the plains area of the Kuma River for the period of the 18th‐21st centuries, the geo‐ecological features of valley NTC were analysed. Studies have shown that at the present stage meandering remains an important condition for land use in the Kuma River valley in terms of both agricultural land and residential areas. Cartographic schemes of land use of a modelled plot in the valley of the Kuma River were constructed, allowing the assessment of the efficiency of the economic use of the fields of oxbow lakes.Conclusion. For the last two hundred years, valley NTC have remained significant for settlement purposes and related economic activities. The modern meandering belt together with the fields of the older such features create special environment forming conditions for the functioning of the stabilising components of the landscape, floodplain forest being a basic integral factor in the preservation of regional biodiversity. It is recommended that when organising the sustainable use of the land resources of river valleys for the purposes of territorial planning, the regional features of placement of meanders and oxbow lakes be taken into account.
Landscape‐hydrological phenomenon of the formation of floating islands on Lake Chebarkul (Davletovo) in the Ural River basin, Russia

Published: December 2022

Aim. To record factually the development of floating islands on Lake Chebarkul (Davletovo) as a landscape‐hydrological phenomenon in the Ural River basin and in the Southern Trans‐Urals, to determine the mechanisms of formation and to identify the specific features of their morphostructure, intra‐annual movements and long‐term dynamics.Materials and Methods. Based on images of high (2003–2020) and medium (1972–2020) spatial resolution, an analysis was made of qualitative and quantitative indicators reflecting the long‐term and intra‐ annual dynamics of the state of floating islands (mats) and coastal thickets of macrophytes («splavina» or «labza» in Russian).Results. It was established that the main source of material for the islands were the coastal thickets of macrophytes at the site of the confluence of watercourses into the lake (Yangelka River and Mogak Crrek), which periodically (during periods of extreme spring floods) lose contact with coastal shallow waters and are carried into the lake. The high variability of the states and the dynamism of the displacement of the islands, as well as the tendency to reduce the number and area of the islands and coastal thickets of macrophytes, caused, among other factors, by the consequences of the anomalous summer flood of 2013, were revealed. Being in an unfixed state, floating islands drift along the water area of the lake for considerable distances, reaching 10–15 km or more during the ice‐ free period of the year. The main driving force is the wind, which causes prevailing alongshore displacements of the islands: as a result of collisions, they are reduced in size and acquire a rounded shape in plan.Conclusion. Throughout the historical period, floating islands around the world have been perceived as a landscape phenomenon that deserves protection and rational use. Lake Chebarkul with floating islands is of undoubted interest as an object of geographical, hydrological, ecological and biological research.

Published: December 2022

Aim. Evaluation of the possibilities of mathematical logic and logical‐mathematical methods in the description of complex natural systems in simple and clear constructions, as they act as a language, special research methods, a source of ideas and concepts in natural science.Discussion. The article discusses the possibilities and advantages of logical and mathematical methods in the analysis of natural science information, and, in particular, environmental data. It gives a comparative overview of logical and mathematical constructions in the formation of scientific thinking. The list of the most common mathematical and logical symbols for the formalised recording of complex ecological systems is provided, together with examples of the use of logical and mathematical formulas as formal and implicative statements in the brief recording of natural science information.Conclusion. The research conducted does not convincingly indicate unambiguous advantages of using the symbols of mathematical logic rather than verbal presentation. However, since ecology deals with the description of arch‐complex systems, including operations of formalised problem statement, the formalised structuring of ecosystems, the grouping of ecosystems according to measures of their similarity‐difference or inclusion–intersection, and the classification of selected ecosystems in a certain specified group, the need for widespread application of logical and mathematical research is indisputable.

Aim. On the basis of factual material, an assessment was made of the state of land previously (more than 15 years ago) developed as arable land and "abandoned" to date.Material and Methods. Control plots located in different landscape provinces of the Volga‐Oka interfluve were compared in terms of the state of the vegetation cover, as well as the type of overgrowth.Results. Three types of overgrowing of postagrogenic lands characteristic of the initial and intermediate stages of overgrowing of pre‐climax communities have been identified: overgrowing of fields associated with a change in land use; overgrowing of fields with a nearby forest; and overgrowing of fields without a closely located forest.Conclusion. It was shown that as a result of the overgrowing of agricultural lands, the species diversity of plant communities is sharply reduced, the restoration of which is very problematic in the foreseeable future. While postagrogenic phytocenoses are able to gradually restore their production potential to the level of natural phytocenoses, however, their productivity will occur with a different species composition of herbaceous plants with low biodiversity.

Published: December 2022

Aim. To systematise data on pathogens of viral diseases of garden and berry crops in the south of the Russian Far East.Discussion. The peculiar climatic features of the Far East limit the range of garden and berry crops. However, there are a significant number of species of wild fruits and berry plants in the region, which have increased (often – record breaking) frost resistance and are therefore actively used for breeding new cultural forms. At the same time, for the last century and a half new varieties of garden crops have been actively introduced to the Far East, which has lead to an increase in the risk of penetration of entire phytovirus complexes together with vegetatively propagated (cuttings, vaccinations) plants. The greatest damage to garden crops in the Far East is caused by a number of representatives of the genus Nepovirus (Picornavirales: Secoviridae): Tomato ringspot virus, Arabis mosaic virus, Raspberry ringspot virus, Grapevine fanleaf virus, Grapevine linear pattern virus as well as several still unidentified viruses. Among other taxonomic groups of phytoviruses dangerous for fruit and berry crops one could point out Potato virus Y (Patatavirales: Potyviridae, Potyvirus), Carnation ringspot virus (Tolivirales: Tombusviridae, Dianthovirus), Clover yellow mosaic virus (Tymovirales: Alphaflexiviridae, Potexvirus), Cucumber mosaic virus (Martellivirales: Bromoviridae, Cucumovirus), Alfalfa mosaic virus (Martellivirales: Bromoviridae, Alfamovirus). The paper considers the species composition of aphids‐carriers of phytoviruses affecting garden crops of the region.Conclusions. In connection with the further prospects for the development of horticulture in the Russian Far East, it is necessary to intensify ecological and virological studies of this section of phytovirology as well as to increase access to agricultural producers with available test systems.
Odesa in the integration processes of the XIX century
Authors: Dianova Nataliya 
Published: December 2022

This publication is devoted to the study of the economic component of the integration processes that took place in the 19 century thanks to trade operations through the Odesa port. The complex of archival and published documents and research literature used in the process of work made it possible to reconstruct the peculiarities of the development of the Odesa port. It was found that Odessa had not only a favorable geographical position, which contributed to the development of the port, but also became an attractive city for foreign merchants interested in the development of foreign trade, primarily in agricultural products.
The activity of Odesa merchants and its contribution to the process of international trade is analyzed. It is noted that Greek, Italian and Jewish merchants achieved the greatest success in grain export. It was found that the number of Russian merchants of the 1st guild, which was engaged in foreign economic operations, was replenished at the expense of foreign merchants who, under the pressure of government policy, were forced to accept Russian citizenship. The Russians themselves, with minor exceptions, belonged to the 3rd guild and engaged in internal trade.

Published: December 2022

Integrated teaching has been implemented in many educational systems across the world. In order to organize integrated teaching effectively, teachers need to be equipped with integrated teaching knowledge and skills from the time they are studying at a teacher training program. This study aims to evaluate the viewpoints of primary school pre-service teachers on integrated teaching in Mathematics at the primary education level. The research used a quantitative method by surveying 354 students from five universities across the main regions of a developing country in Asia. The results show that participants were aware of the important role of integrated teaching and the necessity of skill training in designing and using activities in Mathematics integrated teaching. However, their current skills in designing and using activities in Mathematics integrated teaching are only at or below the average level. Moreover, they have not often been trained or guided to design integrated teaching situations in primary education Mathematics. It is suggested that primary school pre-service teachers should be trained to be able to comprehend the integrated teaching concepts, processes and implement them in real teaching situations.
Keywords: Integrated teaching, primary education, Mathematics, pre-service teachers, pedagogical institutions

The impact of international portfolio investment on economic growth: the case of selected African states
Authors: Mlambo Courage 
Published: December 2022

The main aim of this study was to investigate the impact of foreign portfolio investment on economic growth in Africa. The motivation to explore the effects of portfolio investment and growth stemmed from the fact that Africa has recorded large capital inflows since the global financial crisis. These capital flows can have positive or negative consequences. The effects of foreign portfolio investment on the African economy is an area of interest because very little has been done on the subject area. The study used quarterly panel from 1995 to 2014. The study used only five African countries; South Africa, Botswana, Kenya, Mauritius and Nigeria. These countries were chosen because they are in the top five of the African financial markets index. A GMM model was adopted to test the effects of portfolio flows on economic growth in the selected African states. Results showed that there is a weak relationship between portfolio investment and economic growth and that there is a positive relationship between INT and GDP. Results also show a positive relationship between EXCH and GDP in the long run. A depreciation in the rand exchange rate is seen to be depressing economic growth. The study recommended that the Central Banks in African countries develop better strategies to enhance capital flows' benefits. This can be done by establishing and improving financial institutions which are still developing.
