Current demographic composition of labor resources in Russia, as well as increase of retirement age, legislatively set by government, encourage investigation of staff potential usage in regard of population age characteristics and identification of rational ways of employment for specialists in social production. Contemporary scientific editions devoted to sociology and economy are discussing actively problems of retirement age increasing and ways of involvement of elderly people into social life not only in metropolises, but also, in peripheral parts of the country. In the article, analysis of results of sociological survey, devoted to communicative skills of elderly, is made. Survey of “working» and “nonworking” retirees, concerned their live values, life guidance and communicative skill components. Taking into consideration two social groups, “working” and “non-working” old people, aims sociological elaborations on both directions.
The economy of impressions in which the new level of interaction is formed between brands and target audiences gaining particular importance in new market reality. The company in a service sector, including higher education institutions, becomes the provider of “impressions” under these conditions. Impression economy includes art collaboration methods and tools in which different brands take an active part. Currently, cooperation between educational institutions and the art and cultural industries is becoming one of the effective mechanisms for promoting educational brands, increasing consumer loyalty, creating competitive market superiority. The article considers cooperation in the context of the Virtual Museum project between brands such as the Russian State Hydrometeorological University (RSHU) and the Russian Museum.
The article provides information about fluctuations in the microbiological composition of waste from the city of St. Petersburg (Russia) and microbiological air pollution at the facilities for the collection and processing of solid waste. It has been shown that the collection sites do not significantly affect the microbiological pollution of atmospheric air. Large MSW landfills have a significant impact on air pollution by microorganisms. Although the effect of plants for mechanized biological processing of MSW on the microbial number of atmospheric air is observed, it cannot be considered statistically significant.
The paper presents the results of studies of the technologically significant properties of municipal solid waste (MSW) compost produced by MSW processing enterprises in St. Petersburg (Russia) where the Dano drum process is implemented. The chemical and microbiological composition of compost, as well as heat during ripening, are investigated. The chemical composition of industrial compost produced in St. Petersburg does not make it possible to use it as fertilizers and soil in agriculture. From the microbiological point of view, NSW compost is not dangerous, but the content of indicator groups of microorganisms classifies it as contaminated soil. The heat generation of compost during ripening is uneven - the largest share of heat 78.5% is released in the first year of maturation. In absolute terms, this value is 3250 kJ/kg by dry weight. To ensure the process is carried out during a period when the compost temperature is higher than the ambient temperature, toxic substances must be added to the compost in an amount not more than 400 times the pollutant content in waste of the 4th hazardclass.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
