... the agglomeration factor and the coastalization factor, which results in polarizing the innovation space around large cities and urban agglomerations in the coastal zone. Coastal agglomerations act as drivers for regional development, concentrating a significant part of the population, eco­nomic entities, scientific, technological, and financial infrastructure, drawing resources from other municipalities. This makes the innovation space uneven, promoting an internal innovation periphery and strong ...

... interaction of its components, is trans­fer of technologies. The main "holders" of technologies in the Kaliningrad re­gion are the universities. Kaliningrad State Technical University performs 37.6 % of the work in the area of innovations, a significant amount of work is implemented by the Federal Fishery Agency. Transfer of technologies for IKBFU is academic, which is typical for a classical university (some few works are carried out within the branches developing under the influence of ...

The authors estimate the identification efficiency of dental characteristics depending on the damaging factor in different manmade emergencies. It is shown that the significance of forensic postmortem dental identification increases with the intensity of damaging factors. The key method of forensic dental identification process is a comparison of an antemortem dental record with the postmortem one, which loses its ...

... historical memory as one of their arguments: they claim that the history of globalization in international relations stretches back to the 19th century, thus globalization is an irreversible process. On the other hand, globalization attaches international significance to historical events that were earlier considered as being of local importance. The author proves the latter statement through comparing Russian and Estonian discourses on the relationship between the events which took place in Tallinn in September 1944 and April 2007. Highlighting the differences between ...

The study investigated the effectiveness of composite gold-cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (Au@CFO) in photothermal and magnetomechanical therapy on human hepatocarcinoma Huh7 cells. The nanoparticles demonstrated significant activity during in vitro photothermal therapy and exhibited inherent cytotoxicity, reducing cell viability by 32 % at a concentration of 100 µg/mL. Photothermal therapy using an 808 nm laser further decreased viability by 25 %, while magnetomechanical ...

... in the bodies of young people exposed to different lighting conditions—natural illumination and complete absence of light. The research employed heart rate variability (HRV) analysis using specialized equipment (Omega-M). The obtained data indicate significant differences in the functioning of the main regulatory systems of the body under changing lighting conditions. The study reveals that artificial light exposure disrupts normal biorhythmological processes, weakens the body’s resistance to ...

... District in the context of forming a sustainable socio-economic system. The methodological framework relies on the comparative geographical method and methods of geoinformation analysis, including the construction of buffer zones. The analysis reveals significant spatial heterogeneity in the district’s transport network, driven by historical and natural-climatic factors, and identifies territories with low levels of provision that require additional strategic planning measures. The study establishes ...

... confrontation with NATO, the European Union, and regional states has reached its peak. The geographical position of the Kaliningrad region has generated threats of transport and economic blockade, while simultaneously enhancing its military and strategic significance as a Russian outpost. The article analyzes the key challenges facing the Kaliningrad region, including its exclave status, sanctions pressure, restrictions on cargo transit through Lithuania, the militarization of the region, and threats ...

... details, religious beliefs, and social connections of historical figures are compared with the characteristics of Melnikov’s character. Particular attention is given to arguments supporting or refuting each hypothesis. It is established that, despite a significant similarity between Chapurin and P. E. Bugrov (trade in salt and bread, contracts for paving streets, loyalty to the official church while maintaining Old Believer identity), several traits (age, guardianship of a fugitive-priest chapel) correspond ...

... interpretation. Using L. N. Tolstoy’s story “Polikushka” as material, the study examines the reactions of representatives of the 19th-century peasant world to different aspects of reality. The hypothesis of Y. M. Lotman regarding the cultural significance of the emotions of shame and fear is confirmed. The concept of cultural modality is introduced, defined as a semantic-pragmatic category determined by cultural factors and manifested in typical collective responses to reality. The semantic-cognitive ...

... de jure membership. Event analysis and comparative analysis were employed as the main research methods. As a result, the study identifies key elements of de facto membership, in­cluding alignment of foreign policy, conditionality of integration, the significance of the ener­gy component in economic interaction, independent initiatives by third countries to incorpo­rate the acquis communautaire into domestic legislation, the importance of a shared cultural identity, as well as quantitative indicators—namely,...

... former tsar, demonstrates that even after his abdication, a sacralized perception of his figure persisted in society. The cited examples indicate the pres­ence of loyalist sentiments within monarchist circles during the First World War, which did not significantly change under the influence of external or internal political circumstances. In this regard, this model of perception of the emperor may conditionally be described as static. The opposing model of perception of the monarch is characterized by a negative dynamic in attitudes toward him. Within this segment of monarchist circles, Nicholas II was regarded as an official held responsible for military failures ...

... anomalies in Carabidae were identified during the study. The highest number and frequency of anomalies were recorded in the industrial areas of the two metallurgical plants — 14.66 and 11.17 %, respectively. At the control sites, these values were significantly lower — 2.52 and 1.82 %. Based on the frequency of morphological anomalies, environmental quality in the industrial areas and control territories was assessed. In the sanitary-protection zones of the metallurgical enterprises, environmental ...

... survival and behavioral activity of insects at 4, 24, and 48 hours after a single exposure to various concentrations of the insecticides. It was found that both compounds exhibit high insecticidal activity; however, the nature of their effects differs significantly. Thiacloprid shows an earlier onset of toxic effects and bee mortality, particularly at the maximum concentration (10 μg/ bee). Imidacloprid acts with a temporal delay, reaching maximum effectiveness 48 hours after exposure. Analysis of ...

The article presents a comprehensive analysis of the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC). Despite significant growth in freight traffic in recent years and its strategic importance in the context of the global transformation of logistics, the INSTC remains inferior to traditional routes and realizes only a small portion of its potential. The development ...

... across the country. In the period from 1989 to 2021. In the overwhelming majority of regions of Russia, negative dynamics of the Karelian concentration indicator was observed, which is primarily due to assimilation processes. At the same time, the most significant drop in the indicator was observed in regions where the concentration of Karelians had previously been relatively high. As a geographical factor influencing the dynamics of the Karelian population, especially from the mid-20th century to the ...

The aim of the study is to formulate a definition of an interim ...

... measure and notes its extremely low demand among law enforcement practition­ers. Particular attention is paid to the interpretation of the concept of a “trustworthy person” and to the criteria that, although not currently enshrined in law, may be applied to such indi­viduals. The article also describes the amount of the fine imposed for violation of this preven­tive measure and points out its disproportionality. The authors propose significantly increas­ing the amount of the fine or linking it to the amount of damage caused by the crime. The article presents the results of a survey conducted among law enforcement officers and judges, as well as an analysis of narrative accounts ...
