  • Divergence in Seasonal Hydrology Across Northern Eurasia: Emerging Trends and Water Cycle Linkages M
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 114, D18119, doi:10.1029/2009JD011747, 2009 Click Here for Full Article Divergence in seasonal hydrology across northern Eurasia: Emerging trends and water cycle linkages M. A. Rawlins,1 H. Ye,2 D. Yang,3 A. Shiklomanov,4 and K. C. McDonald1 Received 13 January 2009; revised 16 June 2009; accepted 19 June 2009; published 24 September 2009. [1] Discharge from large Eurasia rivers increased during the 20th century, yet much remains unknown regarding details of this increasing freshwater flux. Here, for the three largest Eurasian basins (the Ob, Yenisei, and Lena) we examine the nature of annual and seasonal discharge trends by investigating the flow changes along with those for precipitation, snow depth, and snow water equivalent. On the basis of a multiperiod trend analysis and examination of station data, we propose two characteristic regimes to explain the long-term discharge increase from these large Eurasian rivers. Over the early decades from approximately 1936 to 1965, annual precipitation correlates well with annual discharge, and positive discharge trends are concurrent with summer/fall discharge increases. The latter decades were marked by a divergence between winter/ spring flows, which increased, amid summer/fall discharge declines. A comparison of cold season precipitation (CSP) and spring discharge trends across subbasins of the Ob, Yenisei, and Lena shows limited agreement with one precipitation data set but good agreement (R2 > 0.90) when a second is used. While natural variability in the Arctic system tends to mask these emerging trends, spatial and temporal changes can generally be characterized by increased solid precipitation, primarily to the north, along with a drier hydrography during the warm season.

In a country that had little reason to rejoice after being invaded by Soviet tanks seven months earlier, this was an extraordinary display of joy, nationalism, and Czech solidarity. The event that caused such excitement and later led to riots was the Czechoslovakian’s defeat of the Soviet Union, 4-3, in the World Ice Hockey Championships. During the past four centuries, the citizens of the modern day Czech Republic have survived under many oppressive rulers: the Hapsburgs of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Nazis, and the communists of the Soviet Union.

  • The Business World of Russian Football
    THESIS – BACHELOR'S DEGREE PROGRAMME SOCIAL SCIENCES, BUSINESS AND ADMINISTRATION THE BUSINESS WORLD OF RUSSIAN FOOTBALL Issues and Prospects AUTHOR : Roman Andreev LI17SP SAVONIA UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES THESIS Abstract Field of Study Social Sciences, Business and Administration Degree Programme Degree Programme in Business and Administration Author Roman Andreev Title of Thesis The Business World of Russian Football. Issues and Prospects Date 10.12.2020 Pages/Appendices 70/0 Client Organisation /Partners Abstract Beyond any doubt, football, known as soccer in North America, remains to be one of the most influential sport games in the history of humanity. Up to this day, soccer continues to captivate billions of sports enthu- siasts all over the globe. Football has achieved great recognition, and it is now considered the most popular sport in the world. Nowadays it is appropriate and entirely justified to talk about the emergence of the foot- ball industry. Basically, modern soccer can be viewed as an international business, since global player trans- fers are made on a regular basis and international professional tournaments are organized. Moreover, soccer leagues may be now rightfully classified as separate commercialized industries. Certain football tournaments perform much better than their competitors in a business sense. In this work, the Russian Premier League in particular is discussed. The aim of the study is to investigate the historic and current issues of Russian soccer, the reasons for their emergence, and the present state. Furthermore, the commercial prospects and possibilities for local football’s business development are inspected. Potential solu- tions to the outlined problems are demonstrated as well.

    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.
