Public administration: digitalization of strategic planning tasks

The article was prepared within the framework of the RFBR scientific project «Interdisciplinary study of the processes of digitalization, computerization and measurement of the role of science in the development and implementation of political decisions» (RFBR grant No. 20-010-00179). The main part of this article is related to conceptual and software developments on automating the process of managing the textual and semantic content of strategies. At this stage, scientific work is aimed at developing software modeling and automation of the control process. It includes a number of functions focused on digitalization and programming of the interdisciplinary and multifunctional task of developing, implementing and monitoring various types of strategies of the Russian Federation. When developing software modeling, the authors adopt a basic block diagram in the form of an industry strategy, the content structure of which can be transformed depending on the type of strategy (socio-economic, scientific and technological, etc.). The system management model for automating the preparation of textual strategy proposals includes the participation of specialized experts and well- known scientists who digitally evaluate strategy texts, including also an analytical mechanism for digitalizing the selection of the final text and its editing by the relevant ministries responsible for strategy development.

Ecological conditions of growth and variability of the main morpho-biological indicators of wild forms of Kuban grapes

The purpose of this scientific work was to find and study the diversity of wild grapes as future promising sources of breeding and valuable traits on the example of the territory of the natural reserve “Krasnyy les”. Scientific novelty. Analysis of modern scientific literature on the study of the biodiversity of the Vitaceae Juss family. He showed that there is practically no scientific information on the Kuban wild forms and autochthons of grapes. This article is the beginning of a new large research work on the study of wild grapes of Kuban, studied in the territory of the Krasnodar Territory, in particular, in the state nature reserve “Krasnyy les”. Methods. The following methods were used: route-reconnaissance (during expeditions), traditional geobotanical and ampelographic, analytical. Results. 5 isolated populations of wild grapes were found on the territory of the natural reserve “Krasnyy les”. These forms were first studied and described according to the ecological and geographical conditions of growth and morphological features of the vegetative and generative spheres of grape plants. Significant variability of some indicators was revealed, for example: the openness of the crown of a young shoot and its degree of spider pubescence, the degree of bristly and spider pubescence of the underside of the formed leaf, the shape and corrugation of the leaf blade, etc. At the same time, the clusters of the studied wild forms of grapes are small, loose; the berries are also small, mostly black in color with a sweet tart taste. The presence of damage by pests and diseases is not visually detected. These isolated grape populations may hypothetically belong to Vitis vinifera ssp. Silvestris Gmel. or its varieties var. Tipica Negr. (wild forest grapes). Samples were taken for further genetic analysis in order to confirm or refute the above hypothesis. This study was conducted within the framework of the RFBR grant project (Contract No. 19-416-230025). Practical significance. The studied wild-growing forms of grapes can be used as promising sources of economically valuable breeding traits in the creation of new varieties, hybrid or clonal forms of grapes that are resistant to abiotic and biotic environmental factors.

Improving the Regulatory Framework in the Field of Preventive Medicine as a Factor of Public Health Safety

In 2020, within the framework of the RFBR grant «Legal and Criminological Problems of Preventive Medicine», the first stage of the study on criminological risks in the field of preventive medicine (hereinafter referred to as PM) was conducted and its results were published. It was found that corruption risks are the main threat to criminological security in the field of PM. This article presents the results of a new study, which is a continuation of the work under the designated RFBR grant. The anti-corruption expertise of a number of legal acts regulating relations in the field of PM showed that they create significant prerequisites for corruption during preventive medical examinations, and as a result, a decrease in the safety of public health. The analysis of the results of the discussion of draft departmental regulations on the official government website, as well as the results of a survey of medical professionals, lead to the same conclusion. An analysis of the totality of the results obtained in the course of the study suggests that the current model of organizing preventive medical examinations is largely the result of lobbying on the part of medical organizations that receive income from PM, including corruption lobbying. The authors come to the conclusion that the organization of preventive medical examinations should be put under effective public control, and adjustments should be made to the anti-corruption expertise of draft normative legal acts on preventive medical examinations: medical specialists should be involved in such expertise and preliminary sociological studies should be conducted to establish the acceptability of the projected legal regulation for the participants in the relations.

Law and ethnocultural identity in the context of digitalization

This article examines the impact of digital technologies on ethnocultural processes in modern society, notes the influence of information relations on ethnopolitical, ethnoeconomic and ethno-legal complexes. The author proposes to recognize that for all the peoples of Russia, not only small in number, but all leading a traditional way of life and preserving traditional values, the impact of digitalization on ethnocultural identity should become one of the subjects of ethnocultural examination of all legislative innovations in the field of digital economy and public administration. The article was prepared with the financial support of the RFBR grant No. 19-011-00820 (a) “The legal policy of the Russian state, its priorities and principles in the conditions of the digital economy and the digital technological order: conceptual, methodological, sectoral aspects of the digitalization of law and legal regulation”.

Inter-Rater Reliability of Unstructured Text Labeling: Artificially vs. Naturally Intelligent Approaches

Unstructured medical text labeling technologies are expected to be highly demanded since the interest in artificial intelligence and natural language processing arises in the medical domain. Our study aimed to assess the agreement between experts who judged on the fact of pulmonary embolism (PE) in neurosurgical cases retrospectively based on electronic health records and assess the utility of the machine learning approach to automate this process. We observed a moderate agreement between 3 independent raters on PE detection (Light’s kappa = 0.568, p = 0). Labeling sentences with the method we proposed earlier might improve the machine learning results (accuracy = 0.97, ROC AUC = 0.98) even in those cases that could not be agreed between 3 independent raters. Medical text labeling techniques might be more efficient when strict rules and semi-automated approaches are implemented. Machine learning might be a good option for unstructured text labeling when the reliability of textual data is properly addressed. This project was supported by the RFBR grant 18-29-22085.

Fundamental problems of education in the context of modern social processes (International scientific and practical conference at Novosibirsk State Pedagogic University)

On December 8–10, 2020, the international scientific and practical conference “Fundamental problems of education in the context of modern social processesˮ was held at Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University with the support of the RFBR grant. The conference was organised by the NSPU together with the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation, the Institute for Education Development Strategy of the Russian Academy of Education, the Ministry of Education of Novosibirsk Region, the Ombudsman for the Rights of the Child in Novosibirsk Region and the municipal autonomous institution for additional education “Palace of Creative Work of Children & Student Youth “Junior”.

Tidal Internal Waves in the Bransfield Strait, Antarctica

<p>Observations of tidal internal waves in the Bransfield Strait, Antarctica, are analyzed. The measurements were carried out for 14 days on a moored station equipped with five autonomous temperature and pressure sensors. The mooring was deployed on the slope of Nelson Island (South Shetland Islands archipelago) over a depth of 70 m at point 62°21ꞌ S, 58°49ꞌ W. Analysis is based on the fluctuations of isotherms.  Vertical displacements of temperature revealed that strong internal vertical oscillations up to 30–40 m are caused by the diurnal internal tide. Spectral analysis of vertical displacements of the 0.9°C isotherm showed a clear peak at a period of 24 h. It is known that the tides in the Bransfield Strait are mostly mixed diurnal and semidiurnal, but during the Antarctic summer, diurnal tide component may intensify. The velocity ellipses of the barotropic tidal currents were estimated using the global tidal model TPXO9.0. It was found that tidal ellipses rotate clockwise with a period of 24 h and anticlockwise with a period of 12 h. The waves are forced due to the interaction of the barotropic tide with the bottom topography. Diurnal internal tides do not develop at latitudes higher than 30º over flat bottom. The research was supported by RFBR grant 20-08-00246.</p>

Catastrophic changes in landscapes of the right bank of the Volga-Oka rivers in 14-18th centuries

<p>The landscapes of the Volga-Oka right bank are currently changed by human activity considerably. Most of the forests have been cleared and only preserved in the upper reaches of the ravines and on the valley slopes. The soils are largely eroded. The zone of deciduous forests has actually turned into a natural-agricultural area. A geoarchaeological study carried out jointly with archaeologists from Nizhny Novgorod in the area of the ancient Russian sites of Mordvina Gora and Podvyazye 1 made it possible to determine the beginning and maximum of anthropogenic impact on landscapes, which caused catastrophic changes in biota, soils, and landforms.</p><p>During the existence of the ancient Russian settlements of the 14th century in the study area, mixed and broad-leaved tree species grew on light gray forest and sod-podzolic soils (Retisols). The houses were built from oak and spruce. At first, the development of landscapes by the ancient Russian population proceeded along the banks of small and large rivers. Starting from the 14th century and especially sharply since the 18th century, accelerated anthropogenic soil erosion manifested itself. On the watersheds and slopes, the upper part of the soil profile (up to the Bt2 horizon) was destroyed by erosion. As a result, watersheds and slopes decreased by no less than 40-60 cm. Coastal ravines and microdepressions were almost completely filled with colluvium. Mordvin's gully has turned into a flat-bottomed ravine. The sediment thickness in the bottom of the ravine reaches 4.5 m. The depth of dismemberment has decreased by 4-5 m. The relics of the Ah and AE horizons of gray forest soils (Retisols) have been preserved only in a buried state on the slopes and in the bottoms of depressions.</p><p>The reasons for the described ecological catastrophe are associated with the imposition of anthropogenic impact (deforestation and plowing of land) on an unfavorable natural background - climate change towards humidification and cooling (wet phase preceding the Little Ice Age). Throughout the forest zone of the Russian Plain in the 14<sup>th</sup> century, the strategy of placing settlements has been changed. From the riverside settlements were relocated to watersheds since the former habitats - floodplains and low terraces became unsuitable for settlement due to frequent floods and high standing groundwater. Since that time, the widespread development of watersheds has been taking place for the first time. For life support, ponds were dug near the settlements or ravines, and gullies were blocked by dams, which were subsequently drained and completely covered by sediments.</p><p>Accelerated erosion increased significantly in the 18th century due to the further deterioration of the climate during the pessimum of the Little Ice Age, the growth of the agricultural population, and the introduction of the poll tax. It occurred repeatedly with a periodic deceleration of the pace, following low-amplitude climatic rhythms and local factors of agricultural development.</p><p><strong>This work was supported by RFBR, grant N19-29-05024 mk.</strong></p>
