Ezhevsky Irkutsk, Russian Federation [email protected] Abstract—Demand for some food differs from day to day. For companies do the research of demand for manufactured example, a sharp increase in demand for poultry meat on products. weekends and holidays is notable. In such conditions, companies need to answer the following question: how many products and Thus, the demand for various types of poultry products what kind of products shall be produced and sold to meet the (whole carcass, cuts, minced meat, ends of cuts) differs from demand of buyers under limited resources and, at the same time, day to day. For example, on weekends and holidays there is a to obtain the maximum profit. To answer this question, a model significant increase in demand for poultry meat. In this regard, for optimizing production and products selling within profit the authors believe that the output should depend on the maximization was developed. The main advantages of the consumption habits. proposed model is the creation of a production structure that will provide the maximum profit, while several types of products, sale To increase the efficiency of production and sale of poultry price, limited resources are taken into account. The proposed meat, as well as to improve the supply of poultry products to model was tested on the materials of the operating company. The the population, an economic and mathematical model was model included 14 types of finished products, their sale price, the developed to optimize the production and sale of poultry meat. rate of consumption of raw materials, restrictions on the The task of this model is to determine such structure of available raw materials, technical and labor resources. As a production and sale of poultry meat which will provide result of the application of the model, the structure of production maximum economic benefit, taking into account the and the maximum forecast profit with minimum and maximum availability of production resources and turnover. As a demand were obtained. Practical application of the model is criterion of optimality, the authors used the maximum profit realized using the Microsoft Office application package (Excel). level in the model, since this indicator objectively characterizes the efficiency of production and marketing Keywords—optimization model, profit maximization, poultry activities of the company and is also the main objective of the meat production. business entity activity.

SHISHATSKY, Cand. Sci. (Econ.) E-mail: [email protected] Institute of Economy and Industrial Engineering of the Siberian Department of the Russian Academy of Sci- ences, Kransnoyarsk, Russia Abstract. The article considers the main prerequisites and the directions of development of Northern and Arctic areas of the Krasnoyarsk Krai based on creation of reliable local transport and power infrastructure and formation of hi-tech and competitive territorial clusters. We examine both the current (new large min- ing and processing works in the Norilsk industrial region; development of Ust-Eniseysky group of oil and gas fields; gasification of the Krasnoyarsk agglomeration with the resources of bradenhead gas of Evenkia; ren- ovation of housing and public utilities of the Norilsk agglomeration; development of the Arctic and north- ern tourism and others), and earlier considered, but rejected, projects (construction of a large hydroelectric power station on the Nizhnyaya Tunguska river; development of the Porozhinsky manganese field; place- ment of the metallurgical enterprises using the Norilsk ores near Lower Angara region; construction of the meridional Yenisei railroad and others) and their impact on the development of the region. It is shown that in new conditions it is expedient to return to consideration of these projects with the use of modern tech- nologies and organizational approaches. It means, above all, formation of the local integrated regional pro- duction systems and networks providing interaction and cooperation of the fuel and raw, processing and innovative sectors.

    LTEU 153GS —Environmental Studies in Russia: Lake Baikal Lake Baikal in Siberia, Russia is approximately 25 million years old, the deepest and oldest lake in the world, holding more than 20% of earth’s fresh water, and providing a home to 2500 animal species and 1000 plant species. It is at risk of being irreparably harmed due to increasing and varied pollution and climate change. It has a rich history and culture for Russians and the many indigenous cultures surrounding it. It is the subject of social activism and public policy debate. Our course will explore the physical and biological characteristics of Lake Baikal, the risks to its survival, and the changes already observed in the ecosystem. We will also explore its cultural significance in the arts, literature, and religion, as well as political, historical, and economic issues related to it. Class will be run largely as a seminar. Each student will be expected to contribute based on their own expertise, life experience, and active learning. As a final project, student groups will draw on their own research and personal experiences with Lake Baikal to form policy proposals and a media campaign supporting them.

  • Irkutsk's Cold Spring by Gregory Feiffer
    Irkutsk's Cold Spring By Gregory Feiffer IRKUTSK, Eastern Siberia Stepping onto the airfield five time zones east of Moscow, I braced myself for the cold. Minus 12 degrees Celsius in April was a rude shock nonetheless. On top of that came snow brought by winds sweeping the vast continental steppe, altering direction to change the weather by bringing blizzards one minute and bright sun the next. "If only we didn't have to suffer through the winter each year," an Irkutsk native glumly told me later, "then we'd have far fewer problems." Of course, it would be easier to envision our solar system without the sun, so central is winter to life here. I wasn't thinking about weather patterns initially while rattling across the Irkutsk airfield at five in the morning, however. I was breathing sighs of relief that I was finally out of earshot of an angry and intricately made-up female fel- low passenger on whom I'd very recently spilled my one glass of Aeroflot water while getting up to visit the toilet. Good I hadn't opted for red wine. My sensitivity to the climate picked up again when the old ZIL truck pulling the ancient airfield shuttle stalled while shifting gears in front of the airport's three equally ancient military Tupolev cargo planes. By the time got inside the main building accessible only after leaving the airfield and finding one's way intuitively to the front entrance I was freezing. assumed that since I'd flown from Moscow, I needed the domestic-flights building.

  • Cultural Landscapes and the Formation of Local
    CBU INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INNOVATION, TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER AND EDUCATION MARCH 25-27, 2015, PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC WWW.CBUNI.CZ, OJS.JOURNALS.CZ CULTURAL LANDSCAPES AND LOCAL IDENTITIES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF EASTERN SIBERIAN CITIES (FROM LATE 18TH TO EARLY 19TH CENTURY) Maria Mihailovna Plotnikova1 Abstract: This article considers the interaction of geographical and cultural landscape in identity formation of the East-Siberian cities of Irkutsk, Krasnoyarsk, and Kirensk in the late 18th century and early 19th century. The comparative analysis of the European city of Valga with the East-Siberian city of Kirensk revealed that, while most of the citizens of the European city were artisans, the military personnel played a significant role in the outskirts of the Russian Empire. At the end of 18th century and during the early 19th century, the Eastern Siberian cities collected taxes as revenue for the city, using the advantage of their geographical position. The author concludes that the study into the essence of the “genius loci” of a city gives insight into the origins of the local identity formation. UDC Classification: 94(571.53), DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.12955/cbup.v3.614 Keywords: cultural landscape, city identity, city incomes, East-Siberian cities, Krasnoyarsk, Irkutsk, Kirensk, Valga, comparative analysis Introduction The study of a cultural landscape uncovers relationships between space and local identity, and space and culture, to understand the influence of landscape on the urban environment. The local identity in this case relates to the “essence of place.” This present work attempts to show the formation of this identity in the Siberian cities of Irkutsk, Krasnoyarsk, and Kirensk, in terms of the “genius loci” (the location’s prevailing character), and in developing the cultural landscape.

  • On the State of Conservation of the UNESCO World Heritage Property Lake Baikal (Russian Federation, No. 754) in 2014 1. Response
    On the State of Conservation of the UNESCO World Heritage Property Lake Baikal (Russian Federation, No. 754) in 2014 1. Response of the Russian Federation with regard to Resolution No. 37 СОМ 7В.22 adopted by the World Heritage Committee. Concerning the activities of Baikalsk Paper and Pulp Mill Resolution of the RF Government related to the termination of recurring operations at Baikalsk Paper and Pulp Mill (hereinafter referred to as “BPPM”) is mainly caused by the intention to eliminate the negative impact of environmentally unsound production to a unique ecosystem of Lake Baikal and necessity of the Russian Federation to perform its obligations related to Lake Baikal conservation as UNESCO World Heritage property. Issues related to legislative and regulatory support are reflected in the Federal Law “On the Protection of Lake Baikal” and Resolution of the RF Government No. 643 “On Approval of the List of Activities Prohibited in the Central Ecological Zone of Lake Baikal Natural Area” (hereinafter referred to as “Resolution No. 643”, “List”) as of August 30, 2001 adopted according to the law specified prohibitions and restrictions of business activities to be taken into account when developing the plan for economy modernization of Baikalsk one-factory town. The RF Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment has made arrangements to evaluate the possibility to exclude separate business activities from the List and subsequent to the results of this work the Government of the Russian Federation adopted its Resolution No. 159 as of February 28, 2014 “On Introducing Changes in the List of Activities Prohibited in the Central Ecological Zone of Lake Baikal Natural Area”.
