The paper addresses the role of universities in the generation, use and dissemination of knowledge, analyzes principles and ways to develop science and education at universities. It is emphasized that the University is becoming an active player not only in training, but also in the production of a new knowledge, in its dissemination and implementation through innovation. At the same time, it is necessary to note that the conditions of the Far North impose a unique specificity on the work of the University and its scientific and innovative activities.For Murmansk Arctic State University (MASU), scientific and research work is one of the most dynamically developing components that create development potential. The paper presents the range of MASU’s scientific activities which includes 3 main spheres: natural science, technical science, social science, and Humanities. The authors dwell on the students’ and postgraduates’ scientific activities, consider the youth scientific organizational structure.As a flagship University, MASU is implementing a strategic development project “MASU is Scientific and Technological Hub of the Region” formed with the direct support of the Government of the Murmansk region. Within the framework of the project, an information and analytical platform was created in MASU under the partnership with Kola Science Center RAS (IAP MASU-KSC). This platform is an integrating consulting mechanism including a set of technological, commercial and marketing solutions for the development and implementation of innovative products and technologies in organizations operating in the field of ensuring a comfortable human presence in the Far North.As one of the priority goals of the strategic development of the University, the trajectory of the Arctic scientific and educational center (SEC) creation on the basis of MASU is highlighted. The key areas and ways to improve the efficiency of scientific and educational activities of MASU, as well as the expected results of the SEC are considered.

The 1960S

The Chernobyl accidenr of 1986 caused radioactive contamination of widespread areas of reindeer pasture in Scandinavia. Reindeer {Rangifer tarandus) are especially exposed to radioactive fallout due to their wintet diet, of which lichens are an important part. Much knowledge about the transfer of radiocaesium to reindeer, and via reindeer meat to man, was accumulated by intense scientific investigations, undertaken during the 1960s and 1970s, following nuclear weapons testing. Various ways to reduce the transfer of radiocaesium to animals and humans were also developed during this time. Much of the older knowledge proved to be of great value in the attempts to determine potential consequences of the Chernobyl accident and to suggest possible ways to ameliorate the effects of contamination. After Chernobyl, not only did reindeer prove to be a problem; many other food products originating ftom natural and semi-natural ecosystems were found to accumulate significant amounts of radiocaesium. Intense scientific work has produced new knowledge about the role of ungulates in the transfer of nutrients and contaminants within these systems. Different measures, like providing uncontaminated feed, use of caesium binders, altering the time of slaughter have been used with good results to minimize the transfer of radiocaesium to animals grazing natural pastures. The high cost of countermeasures has enforced consideration of cost against risk, which may also be of general interest with respect to other forms of pollution. Information, introduction of countermeasures and so forth would be more efficient in case a similar accident were to happen again. The Chernobyl accident is an obvious example of how human failures when dealing with a modern technical system can have global consequences and also be a potential threat to what we like to think of as the unspoiled wilderness of the Arctic.

Strategic Project

The article focuses on the issues of the formation of a conceptually new target model of a regional flagship university. Based on the experience of the formation and development of the Murmansk Arctic State University, which acquired the status of a flagship one in 2017, the authors analyze the origins of the formation of the model, its specificity, which is substantively and formally defined in the parameters of the Arctic perspective. The major intensively developing areas of MASU’s activity in the past two years have been focuses on two important factors of regional development, implemented in the form of two strategic flagship university projects. The first strategic project – “MASU is the scientific and technological hub of the region” – is aimed at solving the most acute regional task of effectively using both the economic and scientific / innovative potential of the region. The second strategic project – “Creative City is a Territory of Development” – reflects the interaction of the creative communities of the region, the Russian Federation and the world with prospect consumers represented by the regional government, municipalities, institutions and industrial enterprises. MASU is the main platform for combining a variety of strategies and searches aimed at changing urban and township sociocultural spaces, an integrator of various areas of design, creative technologies and cultural practices that affect the improvement of the quality of life and human capital development. The key role is determined by the role of the flagship university as a driver of the regional socio-economic development. The developing dialogue between the university, business and government is affirmed as an indispensable condition for the University’s successful functioning and a pledge for its further development.

Factual Data

The article substantiates the model of “reverse inclusion” in the interconnection of sociostructural, sociocultural and spatial aspects. In addition to these aspects, the paper describes the socio-legal and socio-pedagogical foundations of the model. Along with the key category of inclusion the following categories are revealed: “disability”, “disabled person”, “social barrier”, “inclusive social strategy”, and “inclusive strategy in education”. “Reverse inclusion” is opposed to the dominant model of direct inclusion. Due to the fact that the article is of a theoretical and methodological nature, factual data play an illustrative role. The empirical base is represented by secondary data, as well as by some references to the authors’ research of 2016 conducted by the staff of the research laboratory of the Moscow State University of Humanities and Economics for purposes of vocational guidance; in this research a series of 27 in-depth interviews were carried out with students with musculoskeletal disorders studying at MSUHE.

The Given

The paper analyzes the statistical and temporal seasonal and decadal variability of the atmospheric pressure field in the Arctic region of Russia. Schemes for the frequency analysis of probability transitions for characteristics of stochastic-diffusion processes were used as the main research method. On the basis of the given series of 60 years long from 1948 to 2008, such parameters of diffusion processes as the mean (drift process) and variance (diffusion process) were calculated and their maps and time curves were constructed. The seasonal and long-term variability of calculated fields was studied as well as their dependencies on a discretization of the frequency intervals. These characteristics were analyzed and their geophysical interpretation was carried out. In particular, the known cycles of solar activity in 11 and 22 years were revealed. Numerical calculations were performed on the Lomonosov-2 supercomputer of the Lomonosov Moscow State University.
