INTRODUCTION This report documents the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of two Global Environment Fund grants aimed at improving nutrient removal and reducing the amount of methane emitted from the Wastewater Treatment Works (WWTW) in Rostov City. The long- term objective of the improvements is to reduce pollution loads (especially the nutrients causing eutrophication) to the River Don, Sea of Azov and Black Sea, and to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. The work was commissioned by the British Government (Department for International Development, DFID) as part of a collaborative approach to the delivery of technical and financial assistance to the region.

  • Ukrainian and Russian Waterways and the Development of European Transport Corridors
    European Transport \ Trasporti Europei n. 30 (2005): 14-36 Ukrainian and Russian waterways and the development of European transport corridors Michael Doubrovsky1∗ 1Odessa National Maritime University, Odessa, Ukraine Abstract Four of the nine international transport corridors pass through the territory of Ukraine: №3, №5, №7, and №9. In recent years Ukraine conducted an active policy supporting the European initiatives on the international transport corridors and offered variants of corridors to the European community. In the field of a water transport it is planned to carry out the construction of new and reconstruction of existing infrastructure (regarding corridors № 9; TRACECA; Baltic - Black Sea) in the main Ukrainian ports. The paper considers the situation in the Ukrainian waterways as a part of the international transport corridors. It presents an analysis of the existing situation and some planning measures. In order to optimize and rationally development the inland waterways and seaports of the Black Sea – Azov Sea region it is necessary to speed up the working out and official approval of the regional transport ways network. Regarding Ukrainian seaports this task is carried out within the framework of program TRACECA, and also by Steering Committee of Black Sea PETRA and working group on transport of the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation. To connect the new members countries of EU two approaches are considered: (1) the use of the Danube River due to restoration of navigation in its Ukrainian part, providing an exit to the Black Sea; (2) the creation of new inland water-transport links providing a more rational and uniform distribution of freight traffics from the Central and Northern Europe (using the third largest river in Europe - Dnepr River running into the Black Sea).

  • The Role of Greek Culture Representation in Socio-Economic Development of the Southern Regions of Russia
    European Research Studies Journal Volume XXI, Special Issue 1, 2018 pp. 136 - 147 The Role of Greek Culture Representation in Socio-Economic Development of the Southern Regions of Russia T.V. Evsyukova1, I.G. Barabanova2, O.V. Glukhova3, E.A. Cherednikova4 Abstract: This article researches how the Greek lingvoculture represented in onomasticon of the South of Russia. The South Russian anthroponyms, toponyms and pragmatonyms are considered in this article and how they verbalize the most important values and ideological views. It is proved in the article that the key concepts of the Greek lingvoculture such as: “Peace”, “Faith”, “Love”, “Heroism”, “Knowledge”, “Alphabet”, “Power”, “Charismatic person” and “Craft” are highly concentrated in the onomastic lexis of the researched region. The mentioned above concepts due to their specific pragmatic orientation are represented at different extend. Keywords: Culture, linguoculture, onomastics, concept anthroponym, toponym, pragmatonim. 1D.Sc. in Linguistics, Professor, Department of Linguistics and Intercultural Communication, Rostov State University of Economics, Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation. 2Ph.D. in Linguistics, Associate Professor, Department of Linguistics and Intercultural Communication, Rostov State University of Economics, Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation. 3Lecturer, Department of Linguistics and Intercultural Communication, Rostov State University of Economics, Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation, E-mail: [email protected] 4Ph.D., Associate Professor, Department of Linguistics and Intercultural Communication, Rostov State University of Economics, Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation.

Maslenskiy4 1 MD of the MES of Russia for the Rostov region (Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation) 2,3,4 Don State Technical University (Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation) Introduction. A deep and comprehensive analysis of the parameters of the situation with fires in the territories of the Russian Federation and its relationship with socio-economic processes is more relevant than ever for Russia. The article presents, summarizes and analyzes statistical data on the situation with fires and their consequences on the territory of the Rostov region for 2018-2019. Problem Statement. The paper considers the problem of official statistical accounting of fires, the procedure for accounting for people killed and injured in a fire in the context of a changing regulatory framework in this area. The analysis of the situation, official and verified information on fires and their consequences will create a reliable socio- economic characteristic of the Rostov region. Theoretical Part. The paper deals with the peculiarities of accounting of fires and their consequences in Russia. The source materials are the official statistics of the MD of the MES of Russia for the Rostov region on the number of fires on the territory, months, the number of people injured and killed in fires and their distribution by gender, age and time of death, objects and causes of fires.

The diesel was loaded on 4 May on the 113,300t Dong-A Thetis, owned by the South Korean shipping company Dong-A Tanker. The 100,000t cargo of Rosneft product was sold to trading company Vitol for delivery to the Amsterdam-Rotter- dam-Antwerp region, a market participant says.
