The study shows the adaptation processes in the traditional economy of the rural Arctic community in the first post-Soviet period. The author considers the conceptualization of adaptation measures in the development of traditional economy in national ulus. Objective and subjective manifestations of adaptation of traditional economic activity of the rural community of anabars to the transformations of the studied period are revealed. The main issues of development of the traditional economy of the indigenous population in the severe conditions of Anabar in the post-Soviet period were the restructur-ing of management and organization of an integrat-ed approach to farms, problems of staffing and re-muneration, improvement of the system of econom-ic activity in the domestic reindeer husbandry.

Thecosome pteropods play a key role in the food web of various marine ecosystems and they calcify, secreting the unstable CaCO 3 mineral aragonite to form their shell material. Here, we have estimated the effect of ocean acidification on pteropod calcification by exploiting empirical relationships between their gross calcification rates (CaCO 3 precipitation) and aragonite saturation state Ω a , combined with model projections of future Ω a . These were corrected for modern model-data bias and taken over the depth range where pteropods are observed to migrate vertically. Results indicate large reductions in gross calcification at temperate and high latitudes. Over much of the Arctic, the pteropod Limacina helicina will become unable to precipitate CaCO 3 by the end of the century under the IPCC SRES A2 scenario. These results emphasize concerns over the future of shelled pteropods, particularly L. helicina in high latitudes. Shell-less L. helicina are not known to have ever existed nor would we expect them to survive. Declines of pteropod populations could drive dramatic ecological changes in the various pelagic ecosystems in which they play a critical role.

Climate change impacts lead to alterations in migration patterns and the displacement of exposed native com- munities and peoples in the Arctic region, forcing them to leave their homes and traditional ways of life as a result of rapid local ecological changes. This paper illustrates climate-related displacements and subsequent relocation as extremely complex processes, and proposes traditional knowledge as a relevant source of knowl- edge both at local level and policy making spheres.The main conclusions are that the representation of indigenous peoples in international governance structures does not guarantee that traditional knowledge is entirely engaged in evidence-based policy making and that traditional knowledge is not always valued as an equal source of knowledge by some relevant scientific bodies. In this context, changing the approach towards a knowledge-systems-based framework would contribute to the development of more concrete policies and strategies for adaptation of Arctic native communities.

This paper discusses key findings concerning population dynamic of the Indigenous minorities living in the Russian North during the post-Soviet period, highlighted by the 2002 Census. The paper places recent demographic trends into the context of past and current economic, social and institutional changes. It also provides comparisons with Indigenous population dynamics in other parts of the Arctic. Although most Indigenous peoples of the Russian North were growing numerically, they still experienced effects of Russia’s economic crisis, primarily reflected in rapidly falling fertility and rising mortality in the middle-age cohorts. In addition, both the ethnic drift and legal changes seriously contributed to the population dynamic.

The Metabolic Syndrome

The aim of this research was to study the influence of smoking on components of the metabolic syndrome and their relationship in the indigenous population of the Arctic territory of Yakutia. Methods and Results: The material for the study was collected under expeditionary conditions in the Arctic territory of Yakutia in places of compact residence of indigenous peoples. Using the continuous method, we examined 348 subjects (225 women and 123 men). The average age of the respondents was 48.16±0.52 years (49.71±0.63 years for women and 44.98±0.91 years for men). The research program included the following sections: a questionnaire for objective assessment of state; anthropometric examination; assessment of blood pressure (BP); determination of insulin and fasting glucose. In the survey, only those who smoked at least 1 cigarette per day during the last 12 months were considered smokers. The obtained results indicate that the indigenous population of the northern territory of Yakutia has a high frequency of risk factors for the development of cardiovascular pathology, such as overweight, obesity, and smoking. Overweight is equally common in both men and women; obesity is almost 2.5 times more common in women. An increase in body weight and systolic BP is not associated with smoking; however, the simultaneous combination of all these factors can affect the risk of cardiovascular incidents. A negative relationship between BMI and smoking was found. An increased index of insulin resistance is associated with the simultaneous spread of obesity among nonsmokers. The same association of glucose level with BP was obtained in both smokers and nonsmokers. Conclusion: Metabolic disorders in the indigenous population of the northern territory of Yakutia are caused by a change in the traditional way of life and nutrition, with a decrease in physical activity and a lack of adherence to a healthy lifestyle.

The article considers the possibility of developing the economy of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, taking into account the preservation of the ecological system of the region and the national and cultural characteristics of the indigenous population. The analysis of the resource potential of the region is given, recommendations for the development of the region's economy using the labor potential of the population living there are offered. The article analyzes the development of the region and the possibility of creating eco-friendly enterprises, the work of which does not violate the natural balance of the Arctic. The article highlights the main elements of the Arctic economic system that require support at the level of strategic development of the state and determine the key positions in the development of the region. The article considers the constraints and problems that hinder the economic development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation and the conditions for preserving the uniqueness of the nature and culture of the indigenous peoples of the region. The potential of the economic development of the region is investigated. Innovative options for the development of the region in combination with modern technologies for preserving the unique ecological system and the identity of the indigenous population are considered. Promising directions of economic development of the Arctic region while preserving the uniqueness of nature and cultural traditions of indigenous peoples are proposed.
