RELIEF AND DEPOSITS OF THE LATE CENOZOIC PERIOD OF THE NORTHWESTERN PART OF THE CENTRAL YAKUT PLAIN AND ADJACENT TERRITORY OF THE EAST SIBERIAN PLATEAU (SHEET Q-51)

The so-called “watershed coarse gravels” of the Neogene were preserved within the development of heterochronous denudation peneplanation planes. Based on the comparison of paleontological data with the global eustatic Hague-Weil curve, a ladder of denudation levels is constructed. According to the latter, the age of alluvial are determined. Correlation of the deposits of erosion-accumulative terraces in the conditions of the Munsky neotectonic uplift with alluvium in the valley of the Lena is realised. For the latter, the Late Neo-Pleistocene-Holocene age is substantiated and separate geomorphological unit is proposed. The conclusion is made about the weak notion substantiation on the dammed origin of the Mavrinskaya Formation and its age range, the significant role of subaeral processes in its formation in the interval of the Samarovo-Muruktinskoye time is assumed.

Fire safety assessment of the shopping and entertainment center in Samara

Despite all the advantages, shopping centers belong to the facilities with a high risk of emergencies, such as fires. These objects are exposed to natural emergencies, and pose a threat due to possible acts of terrorism and human factors. The purpose of this study is to simulate a fire and develop measures aimed at eliminating it. Modern technological solutions play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of shopping centers. An emergency situation (ES) occurs unexpectedly and develops spontaneously. It is necessary to act quickly and accurately. To carry out rescue and other urgent operations during the elimination of consequences, operational information on the facility and the adjacent territory is required.

A HOUSE AND NOTIONS OF IT IN RUSSIAN FOLK WEDDING SPEECHES

In this work, a list of the house nominations, stylistic and poetic means and techniques used to describe the groom’s and bride’s houses are considered based on published and archival materials of the 19th — early 21st centuries. The description of the newlyweds’ houses is formed by depicting three macrolocuses: the adjacent territory, or courtyard; the zone connecting the courtyard with the interior of the dwelling (porch, door, threshold) and the interior of the house, the image of which is formed by sequentially naming the loci that are most significant from the ritual viewpoint (place of honor, wide bench, furnace, etc.). The houses of both the groom and the bride are described using the very same poetic means of the ‘house’ semantic group. The concept of the bride’s house as a “strange” space for the groom’s party is manifested in speeches related to climbing the porch, opening doors, crossing the threshold and entrance. As the groomsman progresses and claims the house territory, the sense of the house as “strange” intensifies, reaches a critical point at the moment of crossing the threshold and declines after the entrance to the house. The dynamics of the groomsman’s image is revealed in speeches emphasizing the crossing of the threshold. The entrance of the best man to the house is interpreted as a case of crossing the boundary: penetration of the “strange” space is accompanied by a deterioration in vision, the onset of limpness and muteness, being marked, losing clothes or shoes, and giving away material values (money). As he claims the “strange” space and transcodes it into “own space,” the temporary physical indisposition of the groomsman passes. The courtyard, staircase, steps, porch, and threshold are regularly depicted in the descriptions of houses and adjacent territory. The most frequent epithets arewide andnew. Numerous diminutives are another feature of the texts that describe the house.

INTRA- AND INTERPOPULATION VARIABILITY OF SOME PARTS OF THE COPULATIVE APPARATUS OF TERRESTRIAL MOLLUSC BREPHULOPSIS CYLINDRICA FROM THE NORTHERN BLACK SEA COAST REGION

During the study of the first detected local population of Brephulopsis cylindrica (Menke, 1828)on the adjacent territory of Lake Solonets-Tuzla, which is located in the Berezansky district of the Mykolaiv region, morphological features of the copulative apparatus structure were revealed.The nature of the distribution of features and their variability were analyzed. The elements of the copulative apparatus, the most significant in copulation, vary the least in linear terms.The appendages of the copulative apparatus tend to reduce. The specificity of the indicators of the copulative apparatus of individuals of the population is proved, which is a significant addition to the complex approach in the identification of the species of terrestrial mollusks B. cylindrica. The average values of the elements of the copulative apparatus of individuals of the species from the population of the adjacent territory of Lake Solonets-Tuzla were lower than in other studied populations.In most cases, these differences are statistically reliable(р˂0.05). The length and thicknessof the epiphalus differ significantly from almost all populations of the Northern Black Sea Coast, as a specific feature that within the population acquires certain stability due to the function of spermatophore formation.Microevolutionary processes in the population of B. cylindrica from the adjacent territory of Lake Solonets-Tuzla are active, specific and depend on the localization factor.The presence of a full-fledged local population on saline soil confirms the high level of ecological plasticity ofthe studied species of mollusks.Meristic and plastic indicators of flagellum are under a significant level of genetic control. Theelements of the reproductive system varythe least, the most important in the implementation of copulation. The appendages of the genitals tend to reduce.Key words:Northern Black Sea coast, Brephulopsis cylindrica, local population, intrapopulation variability, interpopulation variability, copulative apparatus.

Institution of public welfare: investments within historic settlements and the life cycle of the urban environment

Introduction. The transformation of the economic space of the regions based on digitalization and the use of intelligent technologies in the housing sector gives rise to aesthetic technical problems. When implementing spontaneous investment projects to improve the energy efficiency of the old housing stock of cities, including historical and cultural monuments, as well as buildings that form historical buildings, technical and aesthetic consequences arise. The aim of the article is to study the implemented investment projects to improve the energy efficiency of residential buildings on the adjacent territory of the border of the historical settlement of regional significance in the city of Kazan. Materials and methods. Full-scale inspection, photographic recording of the results of implemented investment projects to improve the energy efficiency of multi-apartment residential buildings of the housing stock on the adjacent territory of the border of the historical settlement of the city of Kazan. Results. As a result, a classification was drawn up of the types of interventions of the operating company, which significantly change the historical facades, change the single architectural and historical appearance of the street ensemble and generate negative externalities. Taking into account the prospects for growth in demand in the market for improving the energy efficiency of buildings of old housing stock, in order to maximize public welfare, it is proposed to consider the mechanism of state intervention to protect the architectural and historical environment of the city as a patronized good on the basis of state policy to create favorable conditions for the introduction of innovations in the housing sector in the form of institute of public guardianship. Conclusions. The institute of public guardianship will allow to preserve the artistic architectural ensembles of the city throughout the life cycle, to fight against parasitic architecture, to obtain an economic effect: to ensure low energy consumption in residential buildings of the old housing stock of cities, an increase in the value of real estate and the profitability of investment projects for the restoration, reconstruction and reconstruction of buildings in the historical part cities.

QUANTITATIVE FORECAST OF OIL AND GAS POTENTIAL IN THE BATHIAN REGIONAL RESERVOIR OF THE MIDDLE JURSIAN SEDIMENTS OF THE YENISEI-KHATANG AND ADJACENT TERRITORY OF GYDAN REGIONS OF THE SIBERIAN ARCTIC SECTOR

In this article, the results are shown of quantitative oil-and-gas potential assessment for the most promising Bathonian regional reservoir of the Jurassic sediments in the Yenisei-Khatanga territory and the adjacent territory of the Gydan petroleum province. The assessment is based on structural models and formation conditions reconstruction for the reservoir’s constituents, permeable complex and caprock. This method has been developed and published by the authors of the present article earlier. Tectonic and lithologic-and-facies criteria are considered. The methodology and results of the oil-and-gas potential assessment of the Bathonian reservoir are described.

No reproductive benefits of dear enemy recognition in a territorial songbird

ABSTRACTTerritorial animals often exhibit the dear enemy effect, in which individuals respond less aggressively to neighbours than to other individuals. The dear enemy effect is hypothesized to be adaptive by reducing unnecessary aggressive interactions with individuals that are not a threat to territory ownership. A key prediction of this hypothesis, that individual fitness will be affected by variation in the speed and extent to which individuals reduce their aggression towards neighbours relative to strangers, has never been tested. We used a series of song playbacks to measure the change in response of male great tits on their breeding territories to a simulated establishment of a neighbour on an adjacent territory. Males reduced their approach to the speaker and sang fewer songs on later repetitions of the playback trials, consistent with a dear enemy effect through habituation learning. However, not all males discriminated between the neighbour and stranger playbacks at the end of the series of trials, and there was evidence that individuals consistently differed from one another in performing this discrimination. We monitored nests and analysed offspring paternity to determine male reproductive success. Unexpectedly, individuals that exhibited dear enemy behaviour towards the simulated neighbour did not have higher reproductive success, and in fact one measure, total offspring biomass, was lower for individuals that showed the dear enemy effect. Although the general capability to recognize neighbours is most likely adaptive, it seems that individuals who decrease their responsiveness to familiar neighbours too quickly may gain no advantage or even be at a disadvantage.

ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF HC RESOURCES INCREASE IN THE CENTRAL PART OF THE SAKHA REPUBLIC

The article presents the results of geological exploration carried out in 2016–2018 in the Sinskaya area, located on the adjacent territory of the Vilyui syneclise and Aldan anteclise. Based on the complex of geochemical and seismic surveys in the northern part of the area, the identification of predicted oil and gas accumulation zones is substantiated. Predicted zones are distinguished at the site of reduced thicknesses and pinch-out of Permian and Triassic deposits. Taking into account the nature of concentration variations of HC components sorbed by subsoil sediments, it is assumed that hydrocarbon fluids have predominantly gas-condensate state. The appearance of the oil phase is predicted for the southern perspective zone. On the ground of predictive definitions and the results of performed operations, recommendations were given on the placement of parametric drilling and allocation of licensed blocks for subsequent exploration. Prognosis evaluations of HC resources are done.
