In connection with the development of the epidemic process of coronavirus infection on the territory of Russia in 2020, monitoring studies of environmental objects for the presence of Vibrio cholerae in surface water bodies and drains were carried out against the background of restrictive measures, the volumes and time of introduction of which were not the same in different regions of Russia. The purpose of the study was to assess the implementation of cholera monitoring tasks in 2020, in the context of the introduction of restrictive measures associated with the new coronavirus infection. Materials and methods. We used 25 nontoxigenic strains of Vibrio cholerae isolated from water bodies of the environment in 2020 on the territory of Russia. Identification was carried out in accordance with MUK 4.2.2218–07 «Laboratory diagnostics of cholera», including using the MALDI-TOF method to establish the genus and species of the isolated cultures. PCR genotyping was performed using an extended spectrum of genes. Cluster analysis was performed using the UPGMA method. Results and discussion. Against the background of the introduction of restrictive measures, the intensity of monitoring studies did not decrease. On the territory of four federal districts in seven constituent entities of Russia, 25 strains of cholera vibrios O1 and R-variant were isolated from environmental objects, which is comparable to the indicators of previous years. A comprehensive study of biological properties was carried out that revealed the distribution of isolates into groups according to the criterion of combined distinctive features (phenotypic and genotypic), as a result of which the isolated V. cholerae O1 strains were divided into seven groups. It was shown that the largest number of V. cholerae O1 strains isolated from water bodies fell on the territory of the Southern Federal District. Relationships have been established between a certain group of Vibrio cholera strains and the place of their isolation. Thus, the restrictive measures introduced in Russia in 2020 in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic did not affect the intensity and effectiveness of monitoring studies, the tasks of monitoring cholera in the country were implemented.

The goal is to study the features of the biological properties of Vibrio cholerae strains found in environmental objects (EO) on the territory of Rostov-on-Don from 1989 to 2018.Materials and methods. Bacteriological, molecular biological and statistical methods were used to study 73 strains of cholera vibrios O1, O139 and 1702 strains of nonO1/nonO139 serogroups isolated over a 30-year period.Results and discussion. It was found that in Rostovon-Don, 78.0 % of toxigenic strains were isolated from all isolated from environmental protection in Russia, among which 2 were genetically unchanged. The V. cholerae O1 classical strain and 72 V. cholerae El Tor strains were found, of which 70 % belonged to the Ogawa serovar, and 3 % of the nontoxigenic strains were susceptible to the classical phage. A “very weak direct relationship” was statistically revealed between the isolation of V. cholerae O1, O139 and V. cholerae nonO1/nonO139 strains, in which the dominant serogroups (O67, O76, O75, O53, O16) were identified, and 18 % of the strains showed atypical agglutinability. Revealing the biological characteristics of V. cholerae strains contributes to the optimization of monitoring studies.

The article is devoted to the assessment of changes in the budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation that are part of the Ural Federal District, which they have undergone in connection with the change in the macroeconomic situation in the country and regions. The article provides an overview of scientific research on the topic under consideration. On the basis of open official data, using general scientific methods, the influence of the introduced restrictive measures related to the fight against the spread of coronavirus infection on the regional budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation of the Ural Federal District is shown. The analysis is carried out in the context of the structure of sources of formation of budget revenues, as well as in the areas of spending financial resources of the regions of the Ural Federal District, an assessment of the balance of the studied budgets is given. Comparative analysis was carried out for the first half of 2019 and 2020. The results obtained indicate that in the revenue part of the studied budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, tax revenues from profits and incomes have significantly decreased. All the regional budgets under consideration show an increase in gratuitous receipts. In the expenditure part of the budgets, the increase is mainly noted in the sections "Healthcare" and "Social policy". Thus, measures of state support in the first half of 2020 made it possible to maintain a budget surplus in four of the six subjects of the Russian Federation of the Ural Federal District. However, the current situation with the spread of coronavirus infection does not allow making optimistic forecasts for the further filling of the revenues of regional budgets. The situation is similar with the expenditure side – they will increase due to the growth of social expenditures, which will affect the balance of regional budgets.

This paper presents results of the Asian part of Russias (APR) quantitative assessment of the lake fund, with its uneven territorial distribution taken into account. Within the APR, about 3.2 million water bodies exist, enclosing 25,175 km3. More than half of all water bodies are in the Ural Federal District, while the bulk of the water is concentrated in the lakes of the Far Eastern and Siberian Federal Districts. At the current population level, most of Russian Asia is well supplied with water resources; only in three Federation districts does water availability not exceed 10 thousand m3per person, per year. However, in conditions of insufficient moisture, even increased water availability does not guarantee absence of water resources shortage, especially during years of low water content. The low quality of waters available for use further complicates the situation. The authors analyzed information on environmental changes occurring in lakes water resources during the latter 20thand early 21stcenturies, presenting assessment results of trophicity and of quality of lakes water masses in three federal districts. The main problems associated with negative changes in the APR lake ecosystems, influenced by anthropogenic activities and requiring quick solutions, are described.

We examine the spatial distribution of banks in Russian regions to identify the factors that affect changing territorial architecture of the banking system. The object of the study is dynamics of the number of commercial banks and their branches in 1991-2016. Besides the well-known tendency of concentration of the banking business in Moscow and reducing the number of banks in other regions we analyzed situation in the federal districts taking as an example the Siberian Federal District. This approach allowed us to formulate hypotheses about the causes of differences in the availability of banking institutions in Russian regions.

Subject. This article deals with the simulation technologies based on the principles of stochastic optimization. They can bring a significant financial effect in the planning of investment development of both individual innovation and industrial clusters and federal districts of the country. Objectives. The article aims to investigate the mechanisms of inter-cluster cooperation within a single district. Methods. For the analysis, we used a stochastic optimization model in view of economic, financial, information, and logistics inter-cluster cooperation within a single federal district. Results. The considered stochastic optimization model of economic, financial, information, and logistics inter-cluster cooperation shows that the increase in fixed investment does not always cause population growth in the federal district regions. Conclusions. The use of a digital twin mechanism of inter-cluster cooperation can help avoid premature unreasonable public policy management decisions regarding the further development of innovation and industrial clusters.

The analysis of cases of detection of bacteria of the genus Aeromonas in clinical material from various loci of patients of medical organizations was carried out. Their species diversity, isolation in monoculture and associations, resistance to antibiotics and spring-autumn rises indicate the etiological significance of these microorganisms in the infectious process. To improve the biological safety of aquatic biotopes, it is important to study their microbiocenosis, in particular, the circulation of bacteria of the genus Aeromonas, in order to obtain information on pathogenic properties, antibiotic resistance, and seasonal fluctuations. To prevent the spread of Aeromonas infections, it is necessary to carry out sanitary and bacteriological studies of water bodies, environmental objects and food products.

Objective. To perform comparative analysis of parameters and structure of maternal mortality (MM) in the Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD) and Siberian Federal District (SFD) in 2014–2019. Materials and methods. The database for analysis was generated using map-based emergency notifications of maternal deaths (69 in FEFD and 180 in SFD). We used methods of descriptive statistics, Pearson's χ2-test, and calculated odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). Results. Between 2014 and 2018, the dynamics of MM in the FEFD and SFD had a one-way trend: it decreased in 2014–2017, but dramatically increased in 2018 primarily due to social factors. In 2019, we observed a significant growth of MM in the FEFD, while the SFD demonstrated a reduction of MM. The most common cause of maternal death in both districts was extragenital diseases. However, there were some differences in the structure of obstetric causes: in FEFD, preeclampsia and obstetric hemorrhage were the most frequent obstetric causes of death, while in SFD, women primarily developed embolism and placental abruption. Conclusion. The dynamics and structure of MM in the FEFD and SFD require management decisions aimed at improving medical care with the consideration of clinical guidelines, organization of continuous audit, systematic development of practical teamwork skills both in simulation training centers and healthcare institutions. Key words: Far Eastern Federal District, maternal mortality, Siberian Federal District

In order to identify the technological level of crop production development in the federal districts of the Russian Federation a rating assessment of technological efficiency was carried out using the methodological approach of calculating the Technological Efficiency Index for the period from 2016 to 2020. Each federal district has a rating based on the calculated indices in statics and dynamics for the main crops are cultivated in the country, including grain and leguminous crops, corn for grain, sugar beet, soy, potatoes, vegetables, fruits and berries. As a result, of the conducted research were obtained the rating assessment for the dynamic index of technological efficiency taking into account the calculation of the average indicator for 2016-2020, the growth rate and the prevailing technological features of the district as of 2020. The obtained results of the rating assessment allowed us to identify the five federal districts of the leaders in the technological efficiency of crop production in Russia. This rating approach can be used in relation to various territorial units and is adapted to any agricultural crops.

AIM: This study aimed provides a checklist of cladocerans and also an evaluation of richness and species composition in the Federal District, Brazil. METHODS: Checklist of cladocerans was obtained evaluating data from the literature, from taxonomic collection (Elmoor-Loureiro's collection) and from fauna surveys conducted over more than three decades in different types of aquatic environments. RESULTS: The 57 water bodies studied showed 56 species, of which 14 are new records. The number of species contained in the list displayed corresponds to 85% of what was expected for richness estimators. The highest number of species was observed in the lentic water bodies (52), which also presented the specific composition of fauna (R = 0.110; p = 0.016), possibly because there were samples taken among the aquatic vegetation. According to our understanding, some species may be subject to local extinctions because they inhabit water bodies located exclusively in urban areas, which can lead to a decline in richness. CONCLUSION: Thus, the results of this study can assist in monitoring aquatic environments and in selection of new areas for surveys of cladocerans in the Federal District.

The article presents data on morbidity with temporary loss of work capacity (MTLWC) among working population in the whole of the Russian Federation and federal districts throughout the period from 2005 to 2014. According to official statistics, common number of losses of working days is shown to decline with a rate of about 1.1-1.3% per year mainly due to a reduction in the number of cases of diseases. The Urals and Privolzhsky Federal Districts are characterized by highest rates both of the incidence rate and the number of days of MTLWC. For the example, the Perm Krai (Privolzhsky Federal District) as a region with a typical MTLWC structure was shown to represent greatest losses of working days in the age groups of 25-29 and 50-54 years of workers of both genders. The consistent high incidence rate of injuries, poisoning and other effects of external influences in working men under the age of 24 years is of particular concern. The situation testifies the need to create targeted programs to prevent diseases in young workers, who in subsequent years will form the bulk of the country’s productive forces. At the regional level MTLWC is established to account for an annual loss of about 1.3-1.5% of the gross regional product. The adoption of effective managerial decisions to reduce MTLWC is shown to allow solve not only medical and demographic, but also economic problems in certain regions and the country as a whole.
