Arctic energy policy and security of the Russian Federation

Abstract: In this article, the author examines the Arctic region in the context of the energy and security policy of the Russian Federation. The author emphasises the factors which currently influence the increasing interest in the Arctic of the countries which claim rights to this region, which are: the US, Canada, Denmark, Norway and the Russian Federation. Among the most important factors indicating the essence of the Arctic, the author points out, inter alia: plenty of energy deposits, which because of the changing climate, are more available, the size of the Arctic area and new transport routes. The author indicates the possibilities of using the Russian Federation policy regarding the Arctic in order to, among other things, strengthen the country’s international position. The author also presents the extent to which claiming the right to exclusive exploitation of mineral resources by the Russian Federation is the real motive of its actions and its intention to totally subordinate the Arctic area. Simultaneously, an attempt is made to answer the question whether the Arctic is likely to be a place of military conflict in the future? The article also examines the issues related to the legal status of the Russian Federation regarding the Arctic, the political activity of the Russian Federation in this region and the possibility of the Russian Federation exploiting energy resources in the Arctic region. The article brings together the issues connected with the Russian Federation and its policy in the region of the Arctic Ocean, and also portrays the importance of the Arctic in the changing international security environment.

Development of Recommendations for Ensuring Security in a Corporate Network

Abstract: This work considers a method to ensure the security of a small corporate network on the first line using the OpenDNS cloud service. Using the Internet every day, you expose yourself and your computer to risk. You may run into certain threats that harm your computer or run into content that contains obscene content. Analyzing the statistics shows the importance of protecting young people and children while working online. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to Internet security and find a simple and effective solution to this problem. This article describes the method of OpenDNS filter settings for your home network. Filtering traffic using a third-party DNS server such as OpenDNS is a good solution for users and small businesses to maintain network security.

Physical fitness and anthropometrics in Finnish soldiers during their early career: prospective changes during a 3-year follow-up

Abstract: Introduction Physical fitness is a fundamental capability required of military personnel, but studies focusing on longitudinal changes in physical fitness and anthropometrics in soldiers are lacking. The aim was to evaluate physical fitness and anthropometrics in soldiers during their early career. Methods A 3-year prospective study included 180 male soldiers (baseline age 26±2 years) with measures of a 12 min running test, standing long jump, sit-up and push-up tests, and body mass, height and waist circumference (WC). Baseline data were stratified into tertiles, and the changes within each tertile were analysed using dependent t-tests and analysis of variance. Results 12 min running test distance decreased on average by 2% (−54 m), sit-up performance 3% (−1.5 repetitions (reps)/min), push-up performance 4% (−1.9 reps/min) and standing long jump performance 1% (−2.1 cm) over the 3-year period (p Conclusions Small decrements in physical fitness and anthropometrics exist during the early career of soldiers. The changes in physical fitness differed according to baseline fitness levels. The results indicate that support for exercise training may be needed even in a soldier’s early career.

Information Support is an Integral Part Public Administration Systems: Essence and Meaning

Abstract: The article is devoted to the study of different approaches to determining the role and place of information support in the public administration system.

A new approach is proposed to determine the nature, role and place of information support in the public administration system and a clearer understanding of this scientific category, as well as ways of further scientific research

Methodology for the development of key technologies

Abstract: A fundamentally new approach to the creation of the methodology for the development of key (critical) technologies is proposed. It is based on: system approach, financing diversification, risk sharing, and evaluation. The order of formation of the key technologies list is offered. Itis shown that for the key technologies development it is expedient to attract non-budgetary funding. The structuring of key technologies is proposed. It is proposed to share risks between the customer of key technologies and their performer through public-private partnership. Attention is paid to reducing corruption risks.
