Рассматриваются проблематика и возможности внедрения инновационного способа разрешения конфликта при помощи медиатора с использованием средств ИКТ (онлайн-медиация) в общеобразовательных учреждениях в аспекте климатических особенностей территорий Арктики и Крайнего Севера, специфики удаленного местоположения и развития образовательной системы в целом. Проводится мониторинг общеобразовательных учреждений на предмет использования медиативной процедуры, разработки медиативных программ, применяемых методов. Посредством социологического исследования выявляется специфика организационной структуры школьных служб медиации, проблематика функционирования, виды и причины конфликтогенных ситуаций. Прослеживаются основные пробелы в образовательной системе арктических территорий, которые негативно влияют на масштабное и эффективное внедрение медиации. Высокий интерес России к арктическим территориям, прежде всего, связан с экономического возможностями. Арктика является стратегической платформой, приоритетным направлением в вопросах обороноспособности и главным источником углеводородных запасов. Особенность месторасположения позволяет усилить финансовую позицию страны. Вместе с этим особенность месторасположения сказывается на суровом климате, миграционном потоке и проблеме доступности образования. Особая роль уделяется возможностям онлайн-медиации при разрешении конфликтов с участием детей с ограниченными возможностями здоровья разных категорий. Делается вывод о необходимости усовершенствования образовательной системы арктических территорий в части подготовки специалистов в области медиации и в целом конкурентоспособных кадров, владеющих средствами ИКТ, а также с целью разнообразия форматов предоставления информации и повышения эффективности обучения. Объясняется необходимость развития альтернативной медиации и внедрения онлайн-медиации. The article considers the problems and possibilities of introducing an innovative method of conflict resolution with the help of a mediator using ICT (online mediation) in general education institutions in terms of the climatic features of the Arctic and the Far North, the specifics of remote location and the development of the educational system as a whole. General education institutions are monitored for the use of mediation procedures, the development of mediation programs, and the methods used. Through sociological research, the specifics of the organizational structure of school mediation services, the problems of functioning, the types and causes of conflict situations are revealed. The main gaps in the educational system of the Arctic territories are traced, which negatively affect the large-scale and effective implementation of mediation. Russia's high interest in the Arctic territories is primarily related to economic opportunities. The Arctic is a strategic platform, a priority in defense issues, and a major source of hydrocarbon reserves. The peculiarity of the location allows you to strengthen the financial position of the country. At the same time, the peculiarity of the location affects the harsh climate, the migration flow and the problem of access to education. A special role is given to the possibilities of online mediation in resolving conflicts involving children with disabilities of different categories. It is concluded that it is necessary to improve the educational system of the Arctic territories in terms of training specialists in the field of mediation and generally competitive personnel who possess ICT tools, as well as to diversify the formats for providing information and improving the effectiveness of training. It explains the need for the development of alternative mediation and the introduction of online mediation.

The development of online mediation in the Arctic and the Far North of the Krasnoyarsk Territory is necessary because of the increased level of conflict potential in educational institutions and the need to find the most effective methods for resolving conflicts, taking into account the needs of persons with disabilities. This article analyzes the problem of the development of mediation as a tool for resolving conflicts with the participation of children with disabilities, as well as adapting the mediation procedure to a digital format. A content analysis of Russian and foreign practices, demonstrated the insufficient development of inclusive education and the mediation process in our country. Monitoring of school mediation services in the Arctic and northern territories of the Krasnoyarsk Territory confirmed the formalized nature of school mediation services, the lack of training programs for mediators on the basis of higher educational institutions of the Arctic and northern territories, insufficient knowledge of methods of working with ‘special children and an emphasis on preventive measures. An interview was conducted on the organizational system of school mediation services, the identification of conflict-generating factors, ways of resolving conflicts, the readiness of mediation specialists to transition to a digital environment, the adaptation of the mediation procedure to the specific characteristics of children with disabilities and the need to develop a mediation procedure in connection with the natural-climatic factors of these territories. The practical benefit of the study is in promoting the implementation of mediation and online mediation practices in the educational system to resolve conflicts with the participation of children with disabilities, develop a humane attitude towards various categories of the population and establish favorable conditions for learning. The practical use of the research increases due to the scarcity of scientific developments in the field of inclusive education, an alternative and innovative mediation process in the Arctic and Northern territories of the Krasnoyarsk Territory.

Необходимость внедрения онлайн-медиации на Крайнем Севере обусловлена особенностями жизнедеятельности северных территорий, которые накладывают отпечаток на психологическое развитие детей и, как следствие, на эффективность образовательного процесса. Дефицитарность развития альтернативной процедуры разрешения конфликтов в отдаленных районах края приводит к актуализации онлайн-медиации с точки зрения профилактики, предотвращения и разрешения конфликтных ситуаций и освоения специалистами информационно-коммуникативных технологий, подготовки конкурентоспособных специалистов, а также установления благоприятного эмоционально-личностного фона. Проблематика исследования связана со сравнительно недавним внедрением медиативных процедур на территории Крайнего Севера и в то же время с возможностями, которые предоставляет медиация для региона, особенности которого создают наиболее тяжелые психологические условия. Эмоционально-личностное развитие представителей малых народов известно не только позитивными, но и неблагоприятными социально-психологическими последствиями перемен.В научной статье посредством контент-анализа и сравнительного анализа рассматриваются психологические особенности обучающихся на территориях Крайнего Севера, развитие и формы медиативного процесса на территориях Красноярского края и Крайнего Севера, а также возможности онлайн-медиации для отдаленных территорий региона и установление положительного психологического климата. The need to introduce online mediation in the Far North is due to the peculiarities of the life of the northern territories, which affect the psychological development of children and, as a result, the effectiveness of the educational process. The lack of development of alternative conflict resolution procedures in remote areas of the region leads to the actualization of online mediation in terms of prevention, prevention and resolution of conflict situations and the development of information and communication technologies by specialists, the training of competitive specialists, as well as the establishment of a favorable emotional and personal background. The problems of the study are related to the relatively recent introduction of mediation procedures in the Far North and at the same time to the opportunities that mediation provides for the region, the features of which create the most difficult psychological conditions. The emotional and personal development of the representatives of small nations is known not only for the positive, but also for the unfavorable socio-psychological consequences of changes. The article examines the psychological characteristics of students in the Far North, the development and forms of the mediation process in the territories of the Krasnoyarsk Territory and the Far North, as well as the possibilities of online mediation for remote areas of the region and the establishment of a positive psychological climate.

Discussed in this review are the results of the research presented in the monograph of specialists in North-ern studies K.I. Zubkov and V.P. Karpov «Development of the Russian Arctic: Soviet experience in the context of current national strategy (on the example of the Ural Far North and Western Siberia)». The reviewer notes that, in general, the study follows the pattern of state-centrism, teleologism and geopolitical alarmism typical for modern Russian Arctic historiography. Among the most important theses of the authors of this peer-reviewed monograph, are the following ones: (1) the transport and economic development was the basis of the Russian / Soviet Arctic exploration program; (2) the Soviet strategy of the Far North development dictated mainly the technocratic and commodity character of the territory exploitation; (3) modern Russia inherits the definition of the priorities of the state policy in the Arctic Region from the Soviet Union and relies on the territorial and production complexes cre-ated back in the USSR. The reviewer expresses serious doubts about the scientific productivity of the classic geopolitical paradigm used by the authors of the monograph: geared towards large-scale generalizations, it is simply unable to capture the full range of contradictions arising in the process of exploration of the Arctic Region. Hence the authors’ tendency to present the entire process of Arctic Region exploration as predetermined, while in reality the history of the Russian Arctic Region colonization is full of collisions; it is more intermittent than consis-tent. In particular, draws attention the constant reproduction of the same topoi in the rhetoric of Arctic Region ex-ploration. For example, from age to age, it has been repeated that the Northern Sea Route is just about to be-come the largest transnational waterway. The reviewer notes the ambiguity of practical recommendations of the authors. Thus, repeatedly expressing the idea of Russia’s interest in the international cooperation in the develop-ment of the Arctic, the authors are concerned to the same extent that foreign partners may force Russia out of the region. The review is aimed at opening a debate on approaches to understanding the Soviet experience in the Arctic Region development.

Cerebrovascular diseases are a problem of the world today, and according to the forecast, the problem of the near future arises. The main risk factors for the development of ischemic disorders of the cerebral circulation include oblique and aging, arterial hypertension, smoking, diabetes mellitus and heart disease. An effective strategy for the prevention of cerebrovascular events is based on the implementation of large-scale risk control measures, including the use of antiagregant and anticoagulant therapy, invasive interventions such as atheromectomy, angioplasty and stenting. In this connection, the efforts of neurologists, cardiologists, angiosurgery, endocrinologists and other specialists are the basis for achieving an acceptable clinical outcome. A review of the SF-36 method for assessing the quality of life in patients with the effects of transient ischemic stroke is presented. The assessment of quality of life is recognized in world medical practice and research, an indicator that is also used to assess the quality of the health system and in general sociological research.

Social inequality is a central topic of research in the social sciences. Decades of research have deepened our understanding of the characteristics and causes of social inequality. At the same time, social inequality has markedly increased during the past 40 years, and progress on reducing poverty and improving the life chances of Americans in the bottom half of the distribution has been frustratingly slow. How useful has sociological research been to the task of reducing inequality? The authors analyze the stance taken by sociological research on the subject of reducing inequality. They identify an imbalance in the literature between the discipline’s continual efforts to motivate the plausibility of large-scale change and its lesser efforts to identify feasible strategies of change either through social policy or by enhancing individual and local agency with the potential to cumulate into meaningful progress on inequality reduction.

AbstractThis paper investigates the consequences for inter-group conflicts of terrorist attacks. I study the 2015 Baga massacre, a large scale attack conducted by Boko Haram at the far North-East state of Borno, Nigeria, as a quasi-natural experiment and examine a set of attitudes in the aftermath of the event of Christians and Muslims throughout the country. Comparing individuals, outside the region of Borno, interviewed by Afrobarometer immediately after the massacre and those interviewed the days before within same regions and holding fixed a number of individual characteristics, I document that the informational exposure to the event rendered Christians less amiable to neighboring Muslims and Muslims less likely to recognize the legitimacy of the state. Nonetheless, Muslims increased their view of the elections as a device to remove leaders in office, event that took place 2 months later with the election of the challenger, Muhammadu Buhari. My findings indicate that terrorist attacks may generate a relevant and heterogeneous backlash across ethnic groups.

Spring freshet is the dominant annual discharge event in all major Arctic draining rivers with large contributions to freshwater inflow to the Arctic Ocean. Research has shown that the total freshwater influx to the Arctic Ocean has been increasing, while at the same time, the rate of change in the Arctic climate is significantly higher than in other parts of the globe. This study assesses the large-scale atmospheric and surface climatic conditions affecting the magnitude, timing and regional variability of the spring freshets by analyzing historic daily discharges from sub-basins within the four largest Arctic-draining watersheds (Mackenzie, Ob, Lena and Yenisei). Results reveal that climatic variations closely match the observed regional trends of increasing cold-season flows and earlier freshets. Flow regulation appears to suppress the effects of climatic drivers on freshet volume but does not have a significant impact on peak freshet magnitude or timing measures. Spring freshet characteristics are also influenced by El Niño-Southern Oscillation, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, the Arctic Oscillation and the North Atlantic Oscillation, particularly in their positive phases. The majority of significant relationships are found in unregulated stations. This study provides a key insight into the climatic drivers of observed trends in freshet characteristics, whilst clarifying the effects of regulation versus climate at the sub-basin scale.

A contoured map of vertical magnetic field residuals (relative to the IGRF) over western Canada and adjacent Arctic regions has been produced by amalgamating new data with those from previous surveys. The measurements were made at altitudes between 3.5 and 5.5 km above sea level. The map shows the form of the magnetic field within the waveband 30 to 5000 km. A magnetic feature of several thousand kilometres wavelength dominates the map, and is probably due in major part to sources in the earth's core. Superimposed on this are several groups of anomalies which contain wavelengths of the order of a thousand kilometres. The patterns of the short wavelength anomalies provide a broad view of major structures and indicate several regimes of distinctive evolutionary development. Enhancement of viscous magnetization at elevated temperatures may account for the concentration of intense anomalies observed near the western edge of the craton.

Editor’s Note Since the landmark enactment of Education of the Handicapped Act in 1975, special education supports and services have been provided to children with disabilities. Although costly, the intentionality of these specialized services has been to advance the educational and societal opportunities of children with disabilities as they progress to adulthood. For our republished article in this issue of JSE’s 50th anniversary volume, we have selected an article by Paul Morgan, Michelle Frisco, George Farkas, and Jacob Hibel. In this research, Morgan and his colleagues quantified the effectiveness of special education services on children’s learning and behavioral outcomes using large-scale longitudinal data. Their results challenge all education professionals to explore ways to increase the effectiveness of special education and to document research efforts that provide clear evidence that the services and supports provided to individuals with disabilities are improving the extent to which they fully experience the benefits of education and participate fully in society.
