The transition to sustainable development of mining regions depends on the size and effectiveness of environmental investments. This study examines the impact of investments and current costs of air protection on the amount of air emissions from stationary sources. We used data on investments in atmospheric air protection, current costs of air protection, and amounts of air emission in 12 mining regions of Russia. The impact of investment and emission costs was simulated using standard pairwise regression equations and the Almon distributed lag model. The statistical insignificance of the models has been established, both in terms of the form of coupling equation and the significance of most coefficients with explanatory variables. The distributed lag model using data on investments in air protection over five years is also statistically insignificant. The paper also discusses the impact of investments and current costs on the specific emission amount per 1 ruble of the gross regional product. The model of pairwise linear regression and other possible forms of the coupling equation in this case are statistically insignificant. The study found that investments and current costs do not affect emissions from stationary sources. This suggests a lack of investments in the air protection and a low efficiency of their use.
Abstract. Increased international business contacts and mobility necessitates developing/mastering skills of communicating in a foreign language (FL) in engineering professionals, including mining engineers. However, the system of FL teaching for non-linguistic, and especially, engineering departments of the Russian higher educational institutions (HEIs) is generally inefficient. At the same time, given an insufficient level of FL skills in most content teachers, little support from their management, the lack of proper methodological training and complex linguistic learning situations, this process proves to pose considerable challenges for the existing educational setting of the Russian technical HEIs. This article summarizes the results of the expert opinion survey among Kemerovo State Technical University content and FL teachers showing a certain degree of doubt and unpreparedness in this respect. In this environment, the authors suggest that the optimal solution would be a gradual introduction of CLIL elements with a focus on more elaborated preparatory techniques. The study assumes the need for forming a specific support system provided by language teachers to boost learners' linguistic confidence prior to students' participation in CLIL format courses.
Positive dynamics of the general indicators of population reproduction is both the basis and the goal of sustainable development in a region. The analysis shows that the demographic problems of the studied mining region hinder the sustainable development of Kemerovo Region (Kuzbass). These issues include long-term population decline, age and gender imbalances in the structure of the population, an increase in the number of citizens older than the working age, and an increase in the demographic burden on the economically active population. The resource and industrial nature of Kuzbass plays a significant role in the dynamics of these processes. The study examines the relationship between demographic indicators and those of sustainable development. The influence of demographic processes was studied by the method of correlation and regression analysis. The authors found negative impact of the dynamics in the population reproduction processes on the number of people employed in the region’s economy, on the gross regional product and investment in fixed assets. A statistically significant relationship was established between mortality rate of the entire population, mortality of the working age group and indicators of sustainable development. The reasons for the high mortality rates in the region include the employment of a significant part of the workforce in hard and hazardous working conditions, high occupational morbidity, injuries, adverse environmental conditions caused by intensive mining, air pollution, and industrial waste. It is concluded that in developing a regional social and economic policy, the positive dynamics of population reproduction processes should be considered as a key factor in the region’s sustainable development.
Аннотация: В статье рассматривается проблема готовности к межкультур-ному профессиональному общению выпускника неязыкового вуза, являю-щаяся следствием объективного разрыва между языком как инструментом профессионального общения и общелитературным языком как объектом и материалом учебных курсов. Ситуация усугубляется недостаточностью под-готовки преподавателей иностранных языков в области профессиональных дисциплин: для овладения особенностями определенного профессионального подъязыка (т. е. одного из многочисленных социальных диалектов) необхо-дим опыт постоянной работы на данном конкретном направлении. Следова-тельно, преподавание иностранного языка в неязыковом вузе требует более широкого применения интегративного подхода к работе над материалом и развитию коммуникативной компетенции. Отмечается компетентностно-ориентированный характер такого подхода и его мотивационный потенциал. Авторы рассматривают некоторые особенности подготовки к занятиям в та-ком формате и предлагают несколько приемов обучения, направленных на более широкое включение элементов профессионального языка в процесс подготовки будущих специалистов с целью развития их профессиональных навыков общения: методику кейсов, приемы эффективного использования аудио-видеоматериалов и мультимедийных презентаций по профессиональ-ной тематике. Подчеркивается необходимость дальнейшей интеграции пре-подавания иностранного языка и профессиональных дисциплин, что требует системного подхода и совместной деятельности всех участников образова-тельного процесса в вузе.Для цитирования: Логунов Т.
