Today, there are a number of scientific publications devoted to specific aspects of the activities of Omsk museums in the period of 1960-1980. However, their availability did not lead to the solution of the problem of comprehensive study of Museum development in the Omsk region. The author of the article set the goal – to trace the development of research activities in museums of the Omsk region over a whole stage in the history of museum business. This manifested the scientific novelty of the study. The basis of the sources involved was the documents of the historical archive of the Omsk region (record-keeping and reporting documentation), state and party regulatory documents, the results of studies of predecessors in this matter, museographic sources. The analysis was based on the local-historical method, which made it possible to specify historical circumstances that influenced quantitative and qualitative changes. The historical-typological method allowed to systematize data on types of research activities on the types of research activities that is practiced in the museums of the region in 1960–1980-ies. The article focuses on the period that can be described as the most dynamic in the development of museums and museum network of the country. The museums were given the status of scientific institutions at the state level, measures have been taken to improve the organization of research work. It is found that the main types of research work in museums of the Omsk region in 1960–1980s were the development of scientific topics according to the thematic-expositional plans of the expositions and exhibitions; compilation of museum guides for exhibitions and expositions; development of texts of excursions, lectures, and texts for television and radio programmes; preparation of scientific articles by results of the conducted research; preparation of materials of methodological nature; organization and participation in scientific conferences; expeditionary trips to the districts of Omsk region; study of museum collections.

The deluge of digital information in our daily life—from user-generated content, such as microblogs and scientific papers, to online business, such as viral marketing and advertising—offers unprecedented opportunities to explore and exploit the trajectories and structures of the evolution of information cascades. Abundant research efforts, both academic and industrial, have aimed to reach a better understanding of the mechanisms driving the spread of information and quantifying the outcome of information diffusion. This article presents a comprehensive review and categorization of information popularity prediction methods, from feature engineering and stochastic processes , through graph representation , to deep learning-based approaches . Specifically, we first formally define different types of information cascades and summarize the perspectives of existing studies. We then present a taxonomy that categorizes existing works into the aforementioned three main groups as well as the main subclasses in each group, and we systematically review cutting-edge research work. Finally, we summarize the pros and cons of existing research efforts and outline the open challenges and opportunities in this field.

This research incorporates new forms of analysis for urban planning and development in Ciudad Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua (Mexico), providing elements of reference by identifying areas with potentiality and limitations for urban land use, as well as for agricultural and conservation activities. The general objective was to identify the main conflicts between land uses and coverages to determine the areas of greatest territorial suitability for the city's growth. For this purpose, the Land Use Conflict Identification Strategy (LUCIS) model was used to understand the spatial significance of the status of land use policies, including likely urban patterns associated with agricultural and conservation trends. In the case study, a total of 149,139 inhabitants are estimated for the year 2030, which represents the need for an additional 392.42 hectares to accommodate the population growth. For that of the 16,272.21 hectares that has the population limit, 38 % were allocated to the category of agriculture, 11.95% to conservation soils and 49.67% to urban land (including the existing urban area). There is a significant portion of the area that is in conflict between the different land uses. It concludes, that the integration of a conflict resolution model for land use and land cover represents a practical solution that contributes to the improvement of processes of urban development planning.
