The article is devoted to the study of socio-cultural characteristics of the population in several regions of the Northwestern Federal District: the Vologda, Murmansk, Kaliningrad, Novgorod regions and the Republic of Karelia. The unevenness and dynamics of the development of socio-cultural subsystems of these regions are considered based on official statistics using the author's methodology. The socio-cultural characteristics of the population, in particular, the territorial identity, attitude to the place of residence, confidence in the future, migration attitudes, value field and basic interests are analyzed using the current empirical database of opinion polls, conducted in 2016 and 2017. Comparative analysis, which allowed identifying similar and distinctive features of the population in different regions, was used as a research method. The features of the Kaliningrad and Murmansk regions and the Republic of Karelia, which are conditioned by their border position, became especially evident. The findings of the general and distinctive features of socio-cultural characteristics of the population in the studied regions can contribute to improving the effectiveness of socio-economic and migration policies in the development of measures aimed at preserving and enhancing human capital.

Subject. To achieve a high level of economic security is a key priority of national development. Employment reveals one of the most important aspects of social development of the individual that is associated with his or her needs satisfaction in the sphere of employment and is boon to economic security. Objectives. The purpose of the study is to show the impact of unemployment on economic security in employment. Methods. I apply such scientific methods as dialectical, historical and logical unity, structural and functional analysis, traditional techniques of economic analysis and synthesis. The methods of multivariate statistical and comparative analysis serve as a methodological basis of the study. To determine the indicator of unemployment, I use the band theory. Results. I underpin the growing role of employment in ensuring economic security. The paper presents a comprehensive assessment of the unemployment status and a comparative analysis of the indicator in the Republic of Mordovia, the Volga Federal District, and the Russian Federation as a whole. I identify trends in the average duration of unemployment, show the distribution of unemployed by level of education and age groups. Conclusions. The average annual unemployment rate in the Republic of Mordovia is lower than in Russia and the Volga Federal District. The findings may be useful for public authorities to substantiate their employment policy at both macro- and meso-levels, for designing programs and strategies for socio-economic development of regions and the social security doctrine, as well as in practical activities of employment services.

A key competitive advantage of a contemporary economy, knowledge, is distributed unevenly, tending to concentrate in cities and urban agglomerations. A border position translates into distinctive features of regional innovative development. In a favourable institutional context, proximity to a border strengthens transboundary cooperation and interaction between neighbouring regions. Although frequent social contacts across borders are well documented in the literature, the effect that the border has on intensive knowledge transfer is yet to be investigated. This article analyses models of knowledge integration taking place between Russia’s northwestern regions and the countries that their border. The study covers six territories of the Northwestern federal district (the Republic of Karelia, St Petersburg, and the Kaliningrad, Leningrad, Murmansk, and Pskov regions); five regions of the Central federal district (Belgorod, Bryansk, Voronezh, Kursk, and Smolensk); and one region of the Southern federal district (Rostov). The methodology of the study consists of using information from the Scopus abstract and citation database to assess the intensity of research cooperation. The findings suggest that the degree of involvement in transboundary research cooperation varies widely across Russia’s border regions.

Scientific novelty. For the first time is made a comparison with the current state of existence of the rite Malanka. Conclusions. The existence of the Malanka rite in the Bukovynian ethnographic zone is only a part of the huge area of its distribution, which is a marginal space in the zone of ethnocultural contacts and the interethnic border of Ukrainians and Eastern Romans. Conservation of the rite was facilitated by remoteness and isolation from the main area of their ethnic group. And today the evolution of this ancient ritual action takes place under great pressure of modern social processes. In the rite of “pereberiya” that accompanies Malanka as an organic element, dominates modern reality figures and historical characters as well.

By applying the research method of comparative analysis, this paper compares provisions of the Ordinance on Safety of Maritime Transport in Internal Waters and Territorial Sea of the Republic of Croatia and on the Manner and Conditions of Vessel Traffic Management and Information, inclusive of Collision Avoidance Rules given in its second part, with Collision Avoidance Rules 1996. The authors critically discuss the disparities between the Rules and the Ordinance. Most of the recent rules represent essential elements of navigational safety and any discrepancies in that area are unacceptable. The consistency in prescribing all issues in the area of avoidance of collision at sea is seen in the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 (COLREGs), as the basic and comprehensive rules for avoiding collision at sea. COLREGs are an example of a thorough analysis of all rules and generally of all subjects the rules apply to. The aim of this comparative analysis is a thorough examination of inconsistencies and disparities of specific articles, i.e. the omission of essential and important parts. The evaluation and awareness of the need to observe international rules and to incorporate them into existing legal and legislative acts of the Republic of Croatia without any discrepancies are the foundation and essence of law.

Aim. The project National Register of Patients with Mucoviscidosis (MV), introduced in Russia, opened the widest perspectives for comparative analysis and summarizing of clinico-epidemiological data all over Russia, federal districts, regions and separate territories. The register data permit to generalize the experience of observation and management of MV patients in centers. Comparative analysis of the clinico-epidemiological characteristics of MV and volume of therapy in patients living in Perm Krai (PK) with the other regions of Privolzhsky Federal District (PFD) and Central Federal District (CFD) of Russia was carried out. Materials and methods. According to the Register of MV Patients in the Russian Federation for 2017, the data of 1576 patients with MV were analyzed: 930 (59.0 %) patients were observed in CFD, 600 (38.1 %) in PFD, 46 (2.9) in PK. Results. Among MV patients in PFD and PK, there was noted a great variety of variants of the gene CFTR, associated with both the presence of autochthonic and relatively closed ethnic groups and migration of the population. A high allele frequency of the variant E92K was revealed in patients of Chuvash Republic (55.3 %). A group of patients from PK, registered in 2017, had a low mean age, the lowest age of making a diagnosis. Conclusions. Clinico-epidemiological studies, according to the data of MV patients register, permitted to detect some peculiar features that can be significant for practical healthcare. Further studies on MV patients register should be continued.

Contrary to the normative part of the constitution whose basic function is of legal character, the preamble of the constitution is characterized primarily by sociological functions. There are many of them, however they are intertwined, hence one sociological function, as a rule is tied to the majority of other sociological functions. However, it is possible for certain functions of the preamble to be in collision. Based on a comparative analysis of modern constitutions we can discuss the following sociological functions of the preamble of the constitution: symbolic, legitimacy, integrative, ideological, educational and programmatic. Aside from sociological functions, the preamble can also have, although more rarely, a legal function. With respect to the preamble of the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia, its content is directed at establishing the territorial identity of the country. In that sense, it can be concluded that the symbolic function of the preamble of the Constitution is more dominant. Although in its content it does not offer anything new in relation to the normative part of the constitution, it announces in a celebratory tone, that Kosovo and Metohija are an integral part of the Republic of Serbia.
