The article presents the results of the analysis of the spatio-temporal variability of the processes of diffusion of innovations in the agricultural sector of the Russian Federation by subjects. The application of a group of traditional and mathematical methods in the research process is complemented by the widespread use of the capabilities of geoinformation technologies and, first of all, geoinformation-cartographic modeling. In the process of conducting research, the corresponding specialized GIS databases “Innovations in the Subjects of the Russian Federation” were designed and practically implemented in various software versions. Based on them, the construction and analysis of a complex of geographic information-cartographic models, differing in the degree of complexity, reflecting the innovative processes occurring in agriculture of all regions of the Russian Federation, was performed. Each of the series of obtained analytical base and resulting maps illustrates various aspects of the innovative development of agriculture and the diffusion of innovations at different time periods. The results of geographic information mapping and modeling were also presented in the form of animated maps and cartographic animations reflecting the features of the territorial distribution of innovations and the spatio-temporal dynamics of their diffusion. Spatio-temporal geographic information-cartographic analysis of the diffusion of innovations made it possible to identify some objective laws of this process. First of all, there was a marked movement of innovations in the agriculture of the Russian Federation in the space-time continuum in the direction from innovative nuclei and sub-nuclei to innovative sub-periphery and periphery, and from donor regions of agricultural innovations to recipient regions. Geographically, the diffusion of innovations in agriculture of the Russian Federation occurs mainly in the direction from the largest cities (at the same time being leading scientific and technical centers) and areas of intensive agriculture (primarily farming) to the regions of the east and north of the European part, Siberia and the Far East. The wide use of the capabilities of geographical information systems and geographic information technologies at all stages of the study allowed the formation of cartographic and attributive databases of the GIS “Innovations in the Subjects of the Russian Federation” according to the main indicators of the innovative development of the agricultural industry at the territorial level of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. On their basis, a significant number of maps and geoinformation-cartographic models of territorial innovative agricultural systems of regional level, the processes of diffusion of innovations occurring in them were constructed and analyzed, and their main spatio-temporal patterns were revealed.

Malaria is an important health burden in Zambia with proper diagnosis remaining as one of the biggest challenges. The need for reliable diagnostics is being addressed through the introduction of rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs). However, without sufficient laboratory amenities in many parts of the country, diagnosis often still relies on non-specific, clinical symptoms. In this study, geographical information systems were used to both visualize and analyze the spatial distribution and the risk factors related to the diagnosis of malaria. The monthly reported, district-level number of malaria cases from January 2009 to December 2014 were collected from the National Malaria Control Center (NMCC). Spatial statistics were used to reveal cluster tendencies that were subsequently linked to possible risk factors, using a non-spatial regression model. Significant, spatio-temporal clusters of malaria were spotted while the introduction of RDTs made the number of clinically diagnosed malaria cases decrease by 33% from 2009 to 2014. The limited access to road network(s) was found to be associated with higher levels of malaria, which can be traced by the expansion of health promotion interventions by the NMCC, indicating enhanced diagnostic capability. The capacity of health facilities has been strengthened with the increased availability of proper diagnostic tools and through retraining of community health workers. To further enhance spatial decision support systems, a multifaceted approach is required to ensure mobilization and availability of human, infrastructural and technological resources. Surveillance based on standardized geospatial or other analytical methods should be used by program managers to design, target, monitor and assess the spatio-temporal dynamics of malaria diagnostic resources country-wide.

This paper is composed of two parts dealing with the modeling of environmental phenomena. The first part presents the traditional ER and OO formalisms dedicated to geographic information modeling. These languages focus mainly on representing the spatial and temporal properties of this type of information. Many of these languages express these properties visually by using pictograms. After a quick historical presentation of the languages, the authors show the various types of spatiality and temporality usually encountered in these languages. Often qualified as primitive, some of these spatialities and temporalities are simple. Others, which are more complex, result from combinations of simple spatialities and simple temporalities. Still others are used in very specific situations encountered during the development of geographical information systems. These different spatialities and temporalities are presented via examples provided in the field of environmental dynamics.

The article is devoted to the visualization features on the maps of indicators of the socio-economic development of the Arctic territories. In recent years, issues of the development of the Arctic territories of the Russian Federation have been one of the priority directions for the development of the state. That explains the relevance of research in this area. It is proposed to use modern geographical information systems as a method of displaying socio-economic indicators in space. This choice led to the availability of a large array of data necessary for analyzing the opportunities and priorities of the socio-economic development of the Arctic territories. As an example, an indicator is considered - the payroll of all employees of organizations. According to the presented results, we can conclude that there is a strong differentiation of the Arctic territories by the level of financial security.

Proceedings of the International conference (ИнтерКарто. ИнтерГИС, Russia) devoted to geographical information systems for sustainable development of territories have been published annually since 1994. The articles discuss theoretical and methodological aspects of geoinformation support for environmental, economic and social aspects of sustainable de­velop­ment, issues of geoinformatics, cartography, remote sensing of the Earth, problems of environmental sustainability and environmental impact assessment. Over a quarter of a century, the conference proceedings got more than 125 articles related to the use of geoinformation technologies to the study and mapping of vegetation. The review of proceedings gives the concrete examples how to solve problems of vegetation mapping using GIS, it is focused on publications providing some examples of GIS appli­cation to the vegetation studies. The review is organized into thematic sections according the field of application of Geoinformatics: 1.Vegetation, 2. Dynamics, state and ecological functions of vegetation, 3. Biodiversity and its assessment, 4. Plant resources, 5. Monitoring of vegetation. The Vegetation section contains publications on vegetation studies and mapping performed for some regions of Russia — the North of the Far East, the Republic of Sakha (Yaku­tia), the Tyva Republic, Central Siberia, and others. More than half of the articles are devoted to vegetation dynamics, state and ecological functions of vegetation at different hierarchical levels. Some papers present the results of the studies based on new types of information sources (photographs) and visualization methods (animation). The use of geoinformation technologies to study biological diversity was included in the agenda of five conference sessions and later reflected in more than ten publications. They cover the development and creation of GIS, the use of geoinformation technologies for the analysis, assessment and mapping of biodiversity, for its monitoring and conservation. Quite a large number of articles are devoted to the study of forest resources. GIS technologies were used to solve problems of forest management, cartometric analysis of forested areas, determination of taxation indicators, systematization of forest conditions, etc. Examples of geoinformation versatile research for medicinal plant resources are given to assess their quality, resources and productivity in the region, to identify growing areas, including ones to be protected. Most of the published materials concerning to vegetation monitoring mainly relate to forests and forest management.
