The role of endogenous factor in increase of ocean level for the last 140 years
... principle cycles in the sea level fluctuations were distinguished: a high-amplitude short-term cycle (2—3 years) and a low-amplitude long-term one (40—50 years). The concurrency of two events is traced: short-term cycles and major earthquakes in oceanic regions. It was shown that it is possible to estimate the area and amplitude of the seafloor submergence in the epicenter in relation to changes in water volume. Short-term cycles of sea level fluctuations usually coincide with changes in surface layer temperatures in middle latitudes, which could be regarded as a precursor of anomalous climatic conditions in the Northern hemisphere.

On trends in the development of cross-border cooperation in the Kaliningrad region of the Russian Federation
... University — a key actor in cooperation. I examine collaborations between municipalities on either side of the border when preparing and running projects under cross-border cooperation programmes. I classify the municipalities of the Kaliningrad region by their involvement in the projects and try to explain why a certain municipality is closely or under- involved in the collaborations. I conclude that the rate of development of cross-border cooperation is likely to remain at the current level unless the municipalities are provided with recommendations on enhancing cross-border cooperation.
