Experimental Study of Municipal Solid Waste (Msw) Landfills and Non- Authorized Waste Damps Impact on the Environment
Linnaeus ECO-TECH ´10 Kalmar, Sweden, November 22-24, 2010 EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE (MSW) LANDFILLS AND NON- AUTHORIZED WASTE DAMPS IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT Veronica Tarbaeva Dmitry Delarov Committee on Natural Resources of Leningrad region, Russia ABSTRACT A purpose was an analysis of waste disposal sites existing in the Leningrad region and a choice of facilities potentially suitable for the removal and utilization of greenhouse- and other gases. In order to achieve the purpose in view, data were collected on the arrangement of non-authorized landfills and waste dumps within the Leningrad region. The preliminary visual evaluation and instrumental monitoring were carried out for 10 facilities. The evaluation of greenhouse- and other gas emissions into the atmosphere as well as of ground water pollution near places of waste disposal was performed. A databank was created for waste disposal sites where it could be possible to organize the work on removing and utilizing of greenhouse gas. The conducted examination stated that landfills exert negative influence on the environment in the form of emissions into the atmosphere and impurities penetrating underground and surface water. A volume of greenhouse gas emissions calculated in units of СО2 – equivalent from different projects fluctuates from 63.8 to 8091.4 t in units of СО2 – equivalent. Maximum summarized emissions of greenhouse gases in units of СО2 – equivalent were stated for MSW landfills of the towns of Kirishi, Novaya Ladoga and Slantsy, as well as for MSW landfills near Lepsari residential settlement and the town of Vyborg. KEYWORDS Non-authorized waste dumps, MSW landfills, greenhouse gases, atmospheric air pollution, instrumental monitoring. -

Forest Economy in the U.S.S.R
STUDIA FORESTALIA SUECICA NR 39 1966 Forest Economy in the U.S.S.R. An Analysis of Soviet Competitive Potentialities Skogsekonomi i Sovjet~rnionen rned en unalys av landets potentiella konkurrenskraft by KARL VIICTOR ALGTTERE SICOGSH~GSICOLAN ROYAL COLLEGE OF FORESTRY STOCKHOLM Lord Keynes on the role of the economist: "He must study the present in the light of the past for the purpose of the future." Printed in Sweden by ESSELTE AB STOCKHOLM Foreword Forest Economy in the U.S.S.R. is a special study of the forestry sector of the Soviet economy. As such it makes a further contribution to the studies undertaken in recent years to elucidate the means and ends in Soviet planning; also it attempts to assess the competitive potentialities of the U.S.S.R. in international trade. Soviet studies now command a very great interest and are being undertaken at some twenty universities and research institutes mainly in the United States, the United Kingdoin and the German Federal Republic. However, it would seem that the study of the development of the forestry sector has riot received the detailed attention given to other fields. In any case, there have not been any analytical studies published to date elucidating fully the connection between forestry and the forest industries and the integration of both in the economy as a whole. Studies of specific sections have appeared from time to time, but I have no knowledge of any previous study which gives a complete picture of the Soviet forest economy and which could faci- litate the marketing policies of the western world, being undertaken at any university or college. -

The authorities of the Leningrad Region have recently signed an investment agreement on the creation of the universal deep-water port Primorsk worth ca 1,3 billion EUR. According to the agreement universal port should be created by 2022, with an annual turnover of about 70 million tons. It will cover an area of 760 ha on the northern coast of the Gulf of Finland. The project includes the construction of a giant port entity for handling coal, mineral fertilizers and other cargo. This project will cause real environmental threat to the Baltic Sea region and pose a danger to human health as the considerable amount of harmful substances like coal and mineral dust will be emitted into atmosphere and water. A vast territory of the coast that was used as a tourist and recreational area will become industrial zone. The construction of the Universal deepwater port Primorsk is planned on the north-east coast of the Gulf of Finland, 40 km from administrative boundary of Saint-Petersburg, 40 km from Vyborg, 55 km from the border with Finland, 4 km from The ‘Berezovye islands’ State Nature Reserve. -

KARBAINOV, Research Fellow E-mail: [email protected] Sociological Institute of the RAS — a branch of the Federal Research Sociological Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Saint Petersburg, Russia Abstract. The article is devoted to the socio-economic adaptation of single-industry towns’ population on the example of single-industry settlements in the North-West of Russia. The work’s theoretical and meth- odological framework is the approaches of scientists who study the grassroots practices of survival of small towns and villages (seasonal work, commuting, a distributed way of life, the informal economy). The empir- ical base of the study are statistical data collected from the databases of EMISS, SPARK Interfax, the Foun- dation for the Development of Single-Industry Towns, websites of administrations of single-industry set- tlements in the Northwestern Federal District, as well as data from field studies collected by the method of semi-formalized interviews with representatives of administrations and deputies of city and regional coun- cils, with ordinary residents of single-industry towns in Republic of Karelia, Leningrad and Vologda oblasts. -
The World Economy Is in the Process of Search for Development Sources
“The world economy is in the process of search for development sources. Today the ability to create, promote and distribute innovations is the key competitiveness factor. The Asia and Pacific region countries – these are, of course, China, India, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore - have obtained quite significant results during the recent years, and this makes us speak about the emerging new global economic power pole. Russia is the country which lives both in Europe and Asia and we are interested in strengthening of our positions in the Pacific Region. We are ready to jointly participate in forming of new markets, build in into high-tech production chains and sources of added value. And here, of course, China and Russia have tremendous opportunities for cooperation,” said Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev at the Forum Plenary Meeting. “Innovations are the eternal engine of human progress. Now big changes and deep restructuring are taking place in the world. This means that innovations must touch on larger spheres and we cannot cope with the process alone. We need openness, readiness to cooperate and share our success with our partners. With increasing economic globalization and informatization the countries of the world need to join efforts for cooperation in the innovation sphere in order to accumulate knowledge and values and hence solve the development problems. This is what constitutes the sense of open innovations,” believes Premier of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China Li Keqiang. In the opinion of Arkady Dvorkovich, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, the system of innovation development needs to be de-centralized and made more transparent. -
Veps Language Heritage in Karelia1
NINA ZAICEVA Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences Veps language heritage in Karelia1 1. Introduction Veps people live in Russia on the border of the Republic of Karelia, in Leningrad region and Vologda region. Based on the most recent Russian population census in 2010 (Vserossijskaja perepis nasele nija 2010), 5 936 people consider themselves Veps, of which 3 423 live in Karelia, 1 380 live in Leningrad region, and 412 live in Vo logda region. The decline in the Veps population and Veps language skills has been an urgent matter for researchers, society, and state authorities. In 2000, a Russian Federation government decree listed the Veps people in the Russian Federation Joint List of Indigenous Minorities as a community under special state protection (see Stro galschikova 2014: 237, 245). The Veps language also was included in the Russian Federation Red List of Languages (Krasnaja kniga 1994: 21–22). These efforts were intended to stimulate Veps lan guage revitalization and cultural preservation as well as restoring active bilingualism in areas where Veps language teaching in schools would be helpful. In the Republic of Karelia, several books in Veps have been published: textbooks for schools and universities, phrase books, bilingual dictionaries, and spelling dictionaries (see Zaiceva 2006: 119–135). The Veps media consist of the newspaper Kodima, the magazine Kipinä for children (in Veps, Kibin), and weekly TV and radio programs. 1.

The purpose of the article is to develop a model of innovation network, facilitating the acceleration of the diffusion of innovation by increasing its throughput capability and maximum use of the resources of the state innovation system. The leading approach to the study of this problem is the system approach, according to which the interaction of entities in the innovation process is considered as a complex mechanism of communications, ensuring the transformation of innovative ideas into marketable final product. In this paper, a model of innovation network, meeting the requirements of the concept of open innovation, based on the effect of increasing returns of resources is proposed and the mechanism and the necessary conditions for its functioning are described.
