  • The Intermediate Performance of Territories of Priority Socio-Economic Development in Russia in Conditions of Macroeconomic Instability
    MATEC Web of Conferences 106, 01028 (2017) DOI: 10.1051/ matecconf/201710601028 SPbWOSCE-2016 The intermediate performance of territories of priority socio-economic development in Russia in conditions of macroeconomic instability Sergey Beliakov1,*, Anna Kapustkina1 1Moscow state university of civil engineering, YaroslavskoyeShosse, 26, Moscow, 12933, Russia Abstract. The Russian economy in recent years has faced the influence of a number of negative factors due to macroeconomic instability and increased foreign policy tensions. In these conditions the considerable constraints faced processes of socio-economic development of regions of the Russian Federation. In this article the authors attempt to analyze the key indicators of socio-economic development of the regions in which it was created and operate in the territories of priority socio-economic development. These territories are concentrated in the Far Eastern Federal District. The article identified, processed, and interpreted indicators, allowing to produce a conclusion on the interim effectiveness of the territories of priority socio-economic development in Russia in conditions of macroeconomic instability. 1 Introduction The main purpose of socio-economic policy is to increase the standard of living, increasing prosperity and ensuring social guarantees to the population. Without these indicators, it is impossible to imagine the effective development of civil society and of the economy as a whole. The crisis in macroeconomics and world politics led to the deterioration of the General economic situation in Russia and, as consequence, decrease in level of living of the population [1, 2]. 2 Experimental section Statistics show that in most Russian regions indicators of the level of living of the population significantly differ from similar indicators in the regional centers.

BINDEMAN, *VERA V. PONOMAREVA, JOHN C. BAILEY, and JOHN W. VALLEY 1Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI, USA 2Institute of Volcanic Geology and Geochemistry, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia 3Geologisk Institut, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark (Received March 20, 2003; accepted in revised form July 16, 2003) Abstract—We present the results of a regional study of oxygen and Sr-Nd-Pb isotopes of Pleistocene to Recent arc volcanism in the Kamchatka Peninsula and the Kuriles, with emphasis on the largest caldera- forming centers. The ␦18O values of phenocrysts, in combination with numerical crystallization modeling (MELTS) and experimental fractionation factors, are used to derive best estimates of primary values for ␦18O(magma). Magmatic ␦18O values span 3.5‰ and are correlated with whole-rock Sr-Nd-Pb isotopes and major elements. Our data show that Kamchatka is a region of isotopic diversity with high-␦18O basaltic magmas (sampling mantle to lower crustal high-␦18O sources), and low-␦18O silicic volcanism (sampling low-␦18O upper crust). Among one hundred Holocene and Late Pleistocene eruptive units from 23 volcanic centers, one half represents low-␦18O magmas (ϩ4 to 5‰). Most low-␦ 18O magmas are voluminous silicic ignimbrites related to large Ͼ10 km3 caldera-forming eruptions and subsequent intracaldera lavas and domes: Holocene multi-caldera Ksudach volcano, Karymsky and Kurile Lake-Iliinsky calderas, and Late Pleistocene Maly Semyachik, Akademy Nauk, and Uzon calderas.

    How to use the Atlas The Atlas has two map sections The Main Section shows the location of Russia’s intact forest landscapes. The Thematic Section shows their tree species composition in two different ways. The legend is placed at the beginning of each set of maps. If you are looking for an area near a town or village Go to the Index on page 153 and find the alphabetical list of settlements by English name. The Cyrillic name is also given along with the map page number and coordinates (latitude and longitude) where it can be found. Capitals of regions and districts (raiony) are listed along with many other settlements, but only in the vicinity of intact forest landscapes. The reader should not expect to see a city like Moscow listed. Villages that are insufficiently known or very small are not listed and appear on the map only as nameless dots. If you are looking for an administrative region Go to the Index on page 185 and find the list of administrative regions. The numbers refer to the map on the inside back cover. Having found the region on this map, the reader will know which index map to use to search further. If you are looking for the big picture Go to the overview map on page 35. This map shows all of Russia’s Intact Forest Landscapes, along with the borders and Roman numerals of the five index maps. If you are looking for a certain part of Russia Find the appropriate index map. These show the borders of the detailed maps for different parts of the country.

  • The Above Indicates Increased Effectiveness of Forest Fire Services of the Said Region. Fire Management Has Been Carried out In
    International Forest Fire News (IFFN) No. 32 (January – June 2005, 90-94) Forest Management Data Summary for the Far Eastern Federal Okrug Ministry of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation The Fire Situation in 2003 The natural fire danger and occurrence in the forests of the Far Eastern Federal Okrug are among the highest in the Russian Federation. Over 80% of its territory is classified as high fire risk territories. By 1 September 2003, since the start of the fire season, the Far Eastern Federal Okrug has seen 3,300 forest fires affecting 806,200 hectares (ha) including 477,400 ha of forested land. In the Far Eastern Federal Okrug, the subjects of the Russian Federation accounted for 7.2% of all forest fires (24,000) registered in the forests of the Russian Federation, while in terms of the forested area it accounts for 25% or 1.9 million ha. As compared to 2002, there is a 1.3 times growth of forest fires, with a 1.3 times decrease in burned areas, including a 1.5 times decrease in burned forested land. There is also a 120.7 ha decrease in the average area burned by one fire. An adequate response eliminated most of forest fires on the day of their occurrence and on smaller areas. The above indicates increased effectiveness of Forest Fire Services of the said region. Fire management has been carried out in close cooperation with the governments of the subjects of the Russian Federation along with the mobilization of additional human and technical resources. To render timely assistance in attacking forest fires, fire fighting service moved to the area 13 airborne fighting teams numbering 280 staff, with additional fire fighting means mobilized in other territorial units of the MNR.

  • Vehicle Registration Plates of Russia
    Vehicle registration plates of Russia Russian registration plate, as observed in 2007 -177 stands for Moscow. Russian registration plate, as observed in 2007 -51 stands for Murmansk Oblast. Russian registration plate, as observed in 2004 -78 stands for Saint-Petersburg. Russian registration plate for trailers In Russia, the plate format has changed since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Soviet plates prior to 1982 were white-on-black. They had combination of four digits, grouped by two and three Cyrillic letters. Rear plate was square with letters located below the numbers. From those letters, first two indicated the region. For example, 75-63 КЛЖ combination referred to a car from the Kaliningrad Region. After 1982 a new black-on-white format for newly registered cars was adopted. The current format uses a letter followed by 3 digits and two more letters. To improve legibility of the numbers for Russian cars abroad, only a small subset of Cyrillic characters that look like Latin characters are used (12 letters: А, В, Е, К, М, Н, О, Р, С, Т, У, Х). Finally, the region number (77, 99, 97, 177 and now 199 for Moscow, 78 and 98 for Saint-Petersburg) and letters "RUS" are included, as well as the national flag (the flag was not used on some of the earliest plates of this format). There is a different format for trailers (4 digits and 2 letters). The standard size for the license plate is 520 mm by 110 mm. Trucks and buses generally have their license numbers painted on them in large letters on the rear of the vehicle, although they also bear license plates.

McKinleyville, CA: Daniel & Daniel. 466 pages CHAPTER 9 Koryak Autonomous Okrug (Koryakia) Location The Koryak Autonomous Okrug (Koryakia) covers the northern two-thirds of the Kamchatka Peninsula, the adjoining mainland, and several islands, the largest of which is Karaginsky Island. The northern border with Chukotka and Magadan Oblast runs along the tops of ridges, marking Koryakia as a separate watershed from those territories. The southern border with Kamchatka Oblast marks the beginning of Eurasia’s most dramatic volcanic landscape. Size 301,500 sq. km, or about the size of the U.S. state of Arizona. Climate Koryakia’s subarctic climate is moderated by the Sea of Okhotsk and the North Pacifi c. January temperatures average about –25°c, and July temperatures average 10°c to 14°c. Average annual precipitation for the region is between 300 and 700 mm. Inland areas in the north have a more continental and drier climate, and areas around the Sea of Okhotsk tend to be cooler in winter and summer than those on the Pacifi c shore.
