Address of General Director 102-14 103-2 Dear colleagues and friends! On behalf of IDGC of Center and Volga Region, PJSC I present to you the Sustainability Report of the Company for 2016 - 2017. In 2017, powers of the sole executive body of IDGC of Center and Volga Region, PJSC were transferred to a managing company – IDGC of Centre, PJSC, and this Sustainability Report actually is summing up the efforts made by both Companies on implementation in practice of the principles of sustainable business. Consolidation of management of two largest grid companies of Central Russia allowed not only to increase efficiency of operating activities to the level of advanced international standards, but also to make a worthy contribution to social and economic development of regions of operations, to improve quality of life of people residing in these regions. As a socially focused company, IDGC of Center and Volga Region, PJSC as strategic priorities always defined reliability and availability of power supply, increase in customers’ confidence, social responsibility and environmental safety. Thanks to timely and high-quality execution of repair and investment programmes, and also application of comprehensive measures for elimination of causes of technological disturbances in 2016 - 2017, the Company managed to achieve essential decrease in failure rate indicators. Implementing plans for ensuring availability of power supply and advancing development of grid infrastructure, the Company, acting for the benefit of, first of all, its customers, significantly reduced terms of grid connection and continued implementation of a system of electronic customer service on the Internet. IDGC of Center and Volga Region, PJSC pays a close attention to questions of environmental protection. So, at reconstruction and construction of power grid facilities, the Company uses modern equipment with advanced technical characteristics making the minimum environmental impact: oil receivers for protection of the soil were installed, at construction of overhead power lines bird guards were mounted, compensation events for planting of trees after clearing and expansion of ROWs of power lines were everywhere held, and others. As a result, IDGC of Center and Volga Region, PJSC took the fifth place in the rating of 150 largest companies of the country with the highest indicators of technology and environmental and energy efficiency. In addition, within its corporate social policy the Company systematically conducted its course on providing safe conditions and labour protection, social security and professional growth of 4 employees, and also implementation of different social projects, including cultural, sports, patriotic and information provision. Especially, the project on prevention of electric injury rate, first of all, of children should be mentioned. So, in 2016 specialists of the Company conducted over 2 thousand lessons of electric safety for more than 61 thousand pupils, and in 2017 – already for 70 thousand children. Without being satisfied with what has already been achieved, IDGC of Center and Volga Region, PJSC, publishing the report, confirms the commitment to the principles of social responsibility and sustainable development, hopes for further constructive dialogue and interaction with all stakeholders. General Director of IDGC of Centre, PJSC - the managing company of IDGC of Center and Volga Region, PJSC Igor Makovskiy 5 2. About the report 2.1.

  • The Evidence of Tarasovo Cemetery on the Middle Kama (0-500 AD)
    THE METAL AGES AND MEDIEVAL PERIOD DOI: 10.17746/1563-0110.2017.45.2.056-061 E.V. Goldina Udmurt State University, Universitetskaya 1, Izhevsk, 426000, Russia E-mail: goldina66@yandex. ru Beads in the Finno-Ugric Women's Costume: The Evidence of Tarasovo Cemetery on the Middle Kama (0-500 AD) Beads are the most frequent finds in lst-5th century AD female burials at Tarasovo on the Middle Kama, the largest Finno-Ugric cemetery, dating to the Great Barbarian Migration era. Larger beads are common in burials of women aged 17—45, whereas seed beads were typically worn by girls and young women aged 13-29. This was probably because unmarried girls wore beanies embroidered with beads and bronze ornaments. Also, variously sized beads were attached to bands of the headdress, framing its bottom edges in one or more lines. Single beads found near the crania suggest that they were amulets. In one- and several-strand necklaces, beads alternated with bronze ornaments. Necklaces were often parts of gift sets, some of which are completely preserved, including the organic base. Larger beads were used as pendants. Some of them decorated strips, used for appending knives and other utensils to belts. All these ways of using beads are still practiced by Finno-Ugric women in the Ural area. Keywords: Middle Kama, beads, female costume, headdress, necklace, pendants. Introduction A.A. Krasnoperov proposed a reconstruction of the traditional costume of the Cheganda population in the Beads are abundant among the finds in Middle Kama Kama basin, on the basis of typical finds related to clothes cemeteries of the first half of the 1st millennium AD, from 80 cemeteries.

    AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES I.Sh. Fatykhov1, Е.V. Korepanova1, М.I. Kamaev2, М.V. Mitroshina3 1 Izhevsk State Agricultural Academy; 2 Uva state variety test plot; 3 Sarapul state variety test plot THE PRODUCTIVITY OF WINTER WHEAT OF THE VOLZHSKAYA K VARIETY WHEN SOWING FRESHLY HARVESTED SEEDS AND A ROLLING STOCK For winter cereal crops, the issue of using seeds of different years of harvest – the transfer fund or freshly harvested – remains debatable. Research conducted earlier in the Middle Urals has made it possible to establish that the use of a seed fund for sowing seeds, as a rule, ensures an increase in the yield of grain of winter cereals. This is due to the fact that freshly harvested seeds that have not undergone post-harvest ripening have low laboratory viability and germination en- ergy. In 2014-2017 years at the Uva and Sarapul SVP of the Udmurt Republic in the competitive variety testing, the reaction of the winter wheat Volzhskaya K was investigated to the formation of the grain yield and the main indicators when sowing freshly harvested seeds and the transfer fund. The soil under the experiments at the Uva SVP is sod-medium podzolic sandy loamy, in the Sarapul SVP – gray forest podzolized medium loamy. The meteorological conditions of vegetative periods during the years of research were different. May 2014 was warm and arid, June is moder- ately warm, the amount of precipitation is 103 % of the norm, in July the amount of precipitation is 125 % of the norm. May and June 2015 were warm and arid, in July precipitation fell 186 % of the norm.

  • Use of Passive Seismic to Prevent Errors Related to Incorrect Estimation of Hydrocarbon Reserves
    USE OF PASSIVE SEISMIC TO PREVENT ERRORS RELATED TO INCORRECT ESTIMATION OF HYDROCARBON RESERVES Gleb Kashin1 Vadim Mironychev1 Olga Likhacheva1 1Udmurt State University, Russia ABSTRACT One of the main problems in petroleum geology today is related to the hydrocarbon reserves’ calculation process. 2D and 3D seismic exploration methods are typically applied for such purposes. However, the information received from them may prove to be insufficient for effective field development planning. Even with the 2D and 3D seismic data available, sometimes it is not possible to identify oil- and gas-bearing structures having good prospects with precision as well as to calculate proven resources of hydrocarbons. Among the most complex geological structures in the Udmurt Republic is the Karsovaysky field. Each of its oil- and gas-bearing bed was initially envisaged to have only one oil-water contact. Probable geological resources of this field were estimated at 994 million barrels, and recoverable ones totaled at 278 million barrels (equivalent to a recovery factor of 0.28). However, it was demonstrated by drilling a significant number of prospecting and exploration wells that the field consists of three separate oil- and gas-bearing structures. Proven geological reserves accounted for 603 million barrels and proven recoverable reserves for 169 million barrels. Initially, 259 production and injection wells were planned to be drilled in the field. Due to a significant decrease in the petroleum-bearing area, there were drilled only 158 wells. The use of passive seismic as a Direct Hydrocarbon Indicator (DHI) can help to avoid such overestimation of hydrocarbon quantity. Passive seismic principles are based on using low frequencies in the range of 1-10 Hz as seismic sources.

Васина Формы культурного досуга в промышленных центрах Вятской губернии на рубеже XIX—XX веков В статье рассматривается становление учреждений культуры в заводских поселках Вятской губернии на примере Ижевского, Камско-Воткинского, Омутнинского, Белохолуницкого и Климковского заводов в конце XIX — начале XX в. Анализируются основные формы культурного досуга горнозаводского населе- ния: посещение библиотек-читален, чайных, народных чтений с «туманными картинами», любительских театральных спектаклей, традиционных народных празднований. Уделяется внимание вкладу заводской администрации, сельских обществ, земств, учебных заведений и благотворительных организаций в раз- витие культурно-досуговой деятельности. Источниковой базой исследования послужили главным образом материалы региональной прессы («Вятских губернских ведомостей»). Ключевые слова: Вятская губерния, горнозаводское население, культурно-досуговая деятельность, библиотеки-читальни, общества трезвости, клубы, народные чтения, «туманные картины», любительский театр. Изучение культурно-досуговой деятельности в рамках истории повседневности до- статочно распространено в отечественной историографии.
