Abstract The article is devoted to assessing the potential impact of the use of technologies for influencing the weather on global security. It is shown that technologies for influencing the weather, which began to be developed at the end of the 19th century, are now actively studied and applied in developed countries of the world in most cases for precipitation management. Examples of the use of such systems by the USA, China, Russia, and the United Arab Emirates are given. According to the authors, the existing methods of influencing the weather for both peaceful and potentially military purposes, and their consequences, are not well studied in the long term. Long-term use of technologies for influencing the weather can have serious negative consequences for security at the local and global level, not only for the country that uses them, but also for neighboring countries and their population. One of the ways to regulate the situation is the creation of a special international monitoring service, which will be responsible for coordinating the use of weather management technologies by states. To achieve the goals set in the article, the authors applied an interdisciplinary method of discourse analysis, since it is the most productive for studying the consequences of using technologies for influencing the weather in the modern geopolitical situation. To determine the potential consequences of the use of technologies for influencing the weather, a systematic approach was used, which made it possible to present a holistic vision of the climatic challenges of influencing the weather in the modern geopolitical situation. The use of the comparative method and the forecasting method allowed to compare the potential of different countries that own and develop technologies for influencing the weather, as well as assess the possible consequences of using technologies for influencing the weather for peaceful and military purposes.

The article reveals the objective prerequisites for the change of legislation. These are not clarifications and amendments, but reforms that are reflected in significant changes in civil, labor, family, inheritance, and procedural legislation. This is usually associated with the cancellation of the old and the adoption of a new codified Act, but in modern Russia, it is associated with the modification and cancellation of a large number of statutory acts. The article illustrates the stability of industry legislation in Australia, Austria, Germany and the USA. The theory of generations, generally accepted in developed countries, is analyzed from the point of view of the need to change legislation. Historical analysis shows that in the observable past, the problem of generational change, regardless of demographic wave, predetermined the need for reforms in Russia in the middle of the 19th century. This is extensively reflected in the Russian literature of the second half of the 19th century. The article shows the differences between demographic waves, generations and waves that determine the need for a change in legislation. It is postulated that the wave that determines the change of legislation should be considered as a social wave. The need for a significant change in legislation is closely connected with social waves. The author criticizes the state of constant legislation updating without the need caused by such a social wave. The author concludes about the negative consequences of unreasonably frequent changes in legislation.

There is growing recognition in developed countries that public scientific literacy is a basic component of long-term social and economic growth. In recent years, surveys of public scientific literacy have been conducted in the USA, the UK and elsewhere, and various efforts are being made to improve the level of public scientific literacy. The first survey of Chinese public scientific literacy was conducted in September 1990. This paper reports a portion of the statistical results of that survey. It reveals the Chinese public's level of understanding of scientific terms and methods, scientific conclusions, and attitudes towards the impact of science and technology on society. Comparisons are also made with survey data from the USA and the UK.

Ensuring more favourable conditions for immigration and circulation of the most educated structures of the foreign-born population has been rapidly becoming one of the most important goals of immigration policies in the economically developed countries. The availability of human capital is the basic precondition for the continuous economic development of every country. Therefore, the aim of the paper is to examine two successful examples (USA and Canada) of legal solutions to immigration policies for attracting and retaining professionals and highly educated individuals. Their bases are embedded in public policies relating immigrants of the majority of countries, both traditionally immigrant countries and the ones that have turned into immigrant countries. The USA and Canada are selected because they had relatively simple and quick procedures for granting immigrant visas back in the 1990s, which enabled a significant number of our highly educated citizens to immigrate to these two countries after the breakup of the former Yugoslavia. Immigration to the USA is based on a system of preferences and it relies significantly on the selection of immigrants based on the needs of the labour market. Canada?s example shows how through efficient development and in a relatively short period of time, the immigration system has been perfected by scoring, i.e. assessing the potential of human capital as the basic precondition for selecting potential immigrants. At the same time, the rapid development of the multiculturalism policy has created opportunities for successful long-term integration.

Currently, in developed countries, cancer is the most frequent cause of mortality in pediatrics in patients older than one year. Thanks to advances in diagnosis, oncological treatment and support, survival in pediatric oncology has increased to around 80% at 5 years. This has increased the detection of long-term side effects and second tumors in long survivors, recently increasing concern and developing specific follow-up models for these patients in the USA. In this descriptive, cross-sectional and prospective study we analyze the data obtained from the first specific unit in Spain for long-term follow-up in pediatric oncology developed at the Hospital Infantil Universitario del Niño Jesús in 2017. The results reproduce what has been described in other recent series, except for later effects such as cardiological alterations underestimated in our sample due to the younger age of our survivors.

Due to the gain in the average life expectancy in developed countries there is increased the incidence rate of malignant neoplasms. According to the forecast of the USA National Cancer Institute in the next 20 years every 2nd American man and every third American woman will get sick with cancer, and therefore oncology should be considered to be the main medical specialty. Molecular characterization of tumors will become routine, and it will provide an opportunity via screening to detect precancerous abnormalities and early forms of cancer. Surgery will become mostly organsaving modality, radical mutilating surgery will go down in history, traditional chemotherapy with low selectivity of action will send to the glue factory. In the arsenal there will stay well-aimed «targeted» drugs hitting right on target mechanisms of the uncontrolled growth of tumor cells and their dissemination.

The 19Th Century

Two fundamentally important phenomena of human existence, language and culture, are constantly interacting at the same time being subjected to various influences from outside. As a rule, such developments usually and completely voluntarily succumb to the upper strata of the society – not just and not only as the order of the day, but also as a means of additional and unambiguous differentiation of society, clear separation of aristocracy from plebs. The most resonant and long-term external influence on the Russian nobility was the Gallomania of the 18th–19th centuries, expressed both in the preference of the French language to the native language, and in the learning of the French etiquette and fashion tastes, and finally in the adoption of axiological guidelines. All this was widely reflected in our literary classic. However, almost synchronously there was English influence, especially since the beginning of the 19th century. The Anglomania of Russian aristocrats was relatively not so visible, especially since it found embodiment in slightly different forms. This is also evidenced by the literary and artistic works of Russian writers. The article considers a number of texts by I.S.Turgenev, who well presented the realities of the society of his time, in particular – its top classes. Numerous examples of two dominant tendencies, gallomania and anglomania, in speech behavior and the household of noble characters are given. The analysis of informative material makes it possible to conclude that in the 19th century there were two dominant exogenous linguistic and sociocultural vectors which complemented one another. Their combination served as an insurmountable barrier between the higher and lower strata of the Russian society that had the most negative consequences for the latter.

Future Demands

Considered as an axiomatic basis of classical, neoclassical, and monetarist theories, the long-run money neutrality assumption does not always seem to be verified. Indeed, in our view, the money, in the sense of M2, can constitute a long-run channel of growth transmission. Thus, this paper examines the long-term relationship among money supply (M2), income (GDP), and prices (CPI). The subprime crisis in 2007 has shown that the demand for money does not only meet motives of transaction, precaution, and speculation but also of fictional or quasi-fictional future demands due to the fact that they are created without real counterparts. The capacity of production systems in developed countries to respond to increases in money supply by creating more wealth, involves the assumption of money neutrality in the long-run. However, in developing countries, the excess of money supply may lead to inflation trends. The present study has confirmed the long-term non-neutrality of money supply in the USA, and its neutrality in Gabon and Morocco.

A project for the long-term strategy of Russian break-through into post-industrial society is suggested which is directed at transformation of the hi-tech complex into the leading factor of economic development. The thesis is substantiated that there is an opportunity to realize such a strategy in case Russia shifts towards the mechanism of the monetary base growth generally accepted in developed countries: the Central Bank increases the quantity of "strong" money by means of purchasing state securities and allocates the increment of money in question according to budget priorities. At the same time for the realization of the said strategy it is necessary to partially restore savings lost during the hyperinflation period of 1992-1994 and default of 1998 and to secure development of the bank system as well as an increase of the volume of long-term credits on this base.

This article examines fundamental questions of monetary policy in the context of challenges to the national security of Russia in connection with the imposition of economic sanctions by the US and the EU. It is proved that the policy of the Russian monetary authorities, particularly the Central Bank, artificially limiting the money supply in the domestic market and pandering to the export of capital, compounds the effects of economic sanctions and plunges the economy into depression. The article presents practical advice on the transition from external to domestic sources of long-term credit with the simultaneous adoption of measures to prevent capital flight.

The problem of the Russian economy’s growth rates is considered in the article in the context of Russia’s backwardness regarding GDP per capita in comparison with the developed countries. The author stresses the urgency of modernization of the real sector of the economy and the recovery of the country’s human capital. For reaching these goals short- or mid-term programs are not sufficient. Economic policy needs a long-term (15-20 years) strategy, otherwise Russia will be condemned to economic inertia and multiplying structural disproportions.
