The ecological traits of the settlement of ants Formica aqiulonia Yarrow were studied in areas influenced by various anthropogenic factors (recreation, coal industry, increasing road traffic). We have revealed that ants are sensitive to any effects and in the overwhelming cases disappear from the contaminated area. Anthills with a dome diameter of 0.65-0.80 appeared to be the most resistant to various anthropogenic factors. No changes in the diet of F. aquilonia have been detected in the zone of coalmine impact. On the contrary, in the areas with a high recreational impact, the proportion first and second instar larvae of the Colorado beetle is increasing, which makes it possible to consider this species as a biological defense.

The article presents an analysis of the problem of human resource retention in the coal-mining region. It is emphasized that along with the factors of economic development it is advisable to take into account the socio-cultural needs and preferences of employees to ensure the preservation of human resources and the development of human capital on this basis. The article substantiates the need to rely on the actual socio-cultural needs of the subjects of professional activity when building activities for the development of the socio-cultural space of the coal-mining region. The article analyzes the implementation of strategic measures for the creation of the Siberian Cluster of Arts from the point of view of the development of the socio-cultural space of the region for the retention of human resources. The empirical part of the article is presented by the results of the study of socio-cultural needs, leisure preferences and the assessment of the attractiveness of the factors of living in Kuzbass by employees of the coal industry enterprises of the region. The sample population included 93 respondents living in the following cities: Kemerovo, Berezovskiy, Kiselevsk, Novokuznetsk, Polysaevo, and Prokopyevsk. The main method of collecting information was a survey conducted through GoogleForms. The analysis uses methods of mathematical statistics, quantitative and qualitative analysis of the results, and analysis of the significance of socio-cultural needs for the respondents.

Environmental safety can be considered as an integral and one of the most important parts of the concept of sustainable development of a coal-mining region, since the environmental risks occupy one of the leading places among the risks of backbone enterprises of such regions due to the particularities of the coal industry and its impact on the environment. In the article, environmental safety is assessed through indicators of the quality of atmospheric air and water, as well as investments in the restoration and protection of the environment; discrepancies were revealed between the amount of financial investments allocated to nature restoration measures and the results of the anthropogenic impact of coal mining enterprises on the biosphere; emphasis was placed on the need to improve the efficiency of funds allocated for environmental protection and rational use of natural resources. Considered priority areas of environmental activities implemented in the framework of the environmental policy of JSC SUEK-Kuzbass. The effectiveness of the system of environmental remediation measures developed by the Company, their adequate funding, makes it possible to place the Company among the industry leaders in environmental and social responsibility for its activities.

The peculiarities of the settlement of ants of the genus Formica have been studied at the areas affected by varying degreesof impact made by enterprises of surface (opencast mines) and underground (deep mines) coal hard mining. It has been revealed that Formica ants. str. are the most sensitive to any impact and in overwhelming cases disappear from the contaminated area. On the contrary, the representatives of Serviformica are more environmentally flexible, and are able to occupy areas with anaverage degree of contamination. However, the density of the settlement and the abundance remain low. After the cessation of coal mining near opencast mines, the recovery of myrmecofauna occurs more rapidly (7-10 years) than near deep mines (more than50 years). The higher the degree of contamination of the area, the lighter the colour of the ants. The proportion of insect larvae in the Formica rufa food sharply increases in the contaminated area.

SummaryThis article challenges the militant and industrial unionist version of British coal mining trade union history, surrounding the Miners' Federation of Great Britain and the National Union of Mineworkers, by considering, for the first time, the case of the colliery deputies' trade union. Their national Federation was formed in 1910, and aimed to represent the three branches of coal mining supervisory management: the deputy (or fireman, or examiner), overman and shotfirer. First, the article discusses the treatment of moderate and craft traditions in British coal mining historiography. Second, it shows how the position of deputy was defined by changes in the underground labour process and the legal regulation of the industry. Third, it traces the history of deputies' union organization up until nationalization in 1947, and the formation of the National Association of Colliery Overmen, Deputies and Shotfirers (NACODS). The article concludes that the deputies represent a mainstream tradition of craft/professional identity and industrial moderation, in both the coal industry and the wider labour movement.
