Migration distances in Russia: a demographic profile of migrants
The distance of migration is closely linked to life course events, which are, in turn, marked by age. It serves as a criterion for distinguishing migration from other forms of spatial mobility. This paper aims to calculate the average distance of domestic ...

... conditions for its residents [17], [18], [19]. The headquarters of major corporations are predominantly situated in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and other major agglomerations. The outward migration of the younger and more dynamic population increases with the distance from the regional centre, which often serves as the region’s education nucleus [18], [20]. Unlike the previous era of the USSR, where a considerable number of graduates from higher and secondary vocational education institutions would leave ...
Cross-border tourist mobility as seen by residents of the Karelian borderlands: COVID-19 restrictions

As tourist mobility intensifies, ‘many border districts of the neglected periphery situated at a considerable distance from national centres turn into zones of contact between neighbouring countries, somewhat of drivers of integration and economic development’ [8, p. 83]. Remarkable cases are the practices followed in Finland’s border towns and Poland’s ...

This limits the opportunities of a part of society to participate in modern economic processes and reduces access to modern distance education and telemedicine [9], and limits the ability of businesses to enter new markets, etc. In Russia, about 81 % of urban residents had access to high-speed Internet, and in rural areas only 65.8 %.<2> These differences aggravated ...
Impact of remigration on the worksphere under Covid-19: the case of Lithuania

During the Covid-19 pandemic, the work sphere was heavily affected as many workplaces were closed because of the quarantine and requirements to maintain social distancing. Thus, the second aim of this article is to investigate the impact of Covid-19 on the transfer of remigrants’ social remittances to the work sphere. The article is based on 15 interviews with highly-qualified remigrants and five interviews ...
Geodemography of the Saint Petersburg Suburbs

The most vibrant and attractive areas of the suburbs are located at a distance of 14—32 km from the centre of Saint Petersburg, between the isochrones of forty- and ninety-minute transport accessibility. Lying at a distance of approximately 60 km from the city centre, the two-hour travel time band marks the border of ...
An innovative approach to increasing the financial literacy of non-economics students
This article explores the enhancement of financial literacy in non-economics students. Current national and international practices of distance learning focusing on financial literacy are analysed. The study proposes an innovative approach to teaching the Money and Money Management gamified distance-learning course to non-economics students. The results of course development and implementation ...

Also, the authors provide a list of actions which may contribute to a positive ethnic identity and adequate social perception of members of other cultures, which can diminish a number of interethnic interaction problems.

The deployment of each military unit in conflict zones in the Near and Middle East, as well as Africa north of the equator, where specialized infrastructure was scarce and the distance from Germany was significant, posed disproportionately greater challenges compared to operations in Eastern Europe. This stark difference in deployment volumes reflects Germany’s priorities, which aimed to ensure presence beyond NATO’s area ...
Fluctuating asymmetry of leaves of mountain ash (Sorbus aucuparia L.) as a bioindicator of aerotechnogenic pollution of the city of Orenburg

Through pairwise correlation analysis of the examined characteristics, the closest connections were found between two pairs: the width of the leaf half — the distance between the bases of the first and second order veins; the distance from the base of the leaf plate to the end of the second-order vein — the angle between the main vein and the second from the base of the leaf.

Largely in line with this technique, the Euclidean distance was calculated between the points since larger clusters are composed of micro-clusters having a minimum increase in squared Euclidean distances to the mean values of individual variables [36]. The Kruskal-Wallis test was performed to confirm ...

It is shown that the level of water-soluble antioxidants was higher in the vegetative parts in the true grasses and the generative parts in the legumes with the exception of the Big-leaved Lupine (Lupinus polyphyllus (L)).

Geopolitical regionalisation of the Baltic area: the essence and historical dynamics

During the Middle Ages, maritime and river routes served as crucial and irreplaceable means of communication over long distances. But as eras changed, so did the role of modes of transport. Maritime and river transport, particularly in coastal shipping, have diminished in significance since the advent of railways, motor vehicles and air transport. Recent studies into ...
Experience of assessing the ethnic contrast of the borders of the republics of the Ural-Volga region

The calculation of the coefficient is based on the assessment of «interethnic distances» defined by E. L. Soroko for pairs of major ethnic groups represented in the Ural-Volga region. The research revealed that the most ethnically contrasting borders in the region are those of Bashkortostan (excluding the section with Tatarstan),...
The border as a barrier and an incentive for the structural economic transformation of the Kaliningrad exclave
This paper aims to study how geopolitical shifts affect regional economies and their structures. Border functions and regimes act as tools for the economy and society to adapt to the redistribution of political influence, movements of people, goods, capital and information between integration associations, individual countries and their cores. A changed environment may slow down the development of some industries (and even cause them to decline) and give a boost to others, with these two processes...

The Ladushkin and Mamonovo urban districts are once again exceptions. The peripheral districts have lower population density and typically a larger area per settlement....
Digitalization of higher education in the context of the COVID-19 and the post-pandemic period: methodological problems

For Obichkina, “this choice contradicted the traditional geostrategy of the Fifth Republic, but France, not sharing it, did not actively resist ...

In most the study areas, the structure of inbound tourist flow experienced an increase in the proportion of arrivals from the Baltic region states, which points to a decrease in the average distance travelled by tourists. Against the background of plummeting inbound tourism, this proportion grew not following an increase in the tourist flow but as a result of a more modest reduction.
The most considerable growth took place in some southern ...

The time distance makes it possible for Marivaux to become ironic to his own feelings and this results in the effect of “double register”. Thus, Marivaux’s novel becomes an innovative experimental text, a model of rocaille narrative.
