This article analyzes the main problems of urban public spaces, because today public spaces can determine the future of cities. It is noted that parks are multifunctional public spaces in the urban environment, as they are an important element of the citywide system of landscaping and recreation, perform health, cultural, educational, aesthetic and environmental functions. The article notes that the need for easily accessible and well-maintained urban parks remains, however, the state of parks in many cities of Russia remains unsatisfactory, requiring reconstruction. A brief historical background of the Park of Culture and Rest of the Soviet period in Omsk is expounded, the analysis of the existing territory of the Park is presented. It is revealed that the Park, being the largest public space in Omsk, does not meet the requirements of modern urbanism, although it represents a great potential for designing the space for the purpose of recreation of citizens. Performed functional zoning scheme of the territory of the Park in question, where its division into functional areas destined for active recreational users of the Park is presented, considered the interests of senior citizens, people with limited mobility, etc. Reconstruction of Parks of the Soviet period can provide the city with additional recreational opportunities, as well as increase its tourist attractiveness.

The content of the terms «corporate relations» and «corporate policy» has been clarified, and the principles of rational organization of corporate relations in domestic companies have been systematized. The main tasks of management to improve corporate policy using the system of corresponding regulations (standards) have been formed. Recommendations are given to improve the practice of strategic business planning in terms of key functional areas of business. Methodical approach to evaluation of corporate synergy in integrated structures is proposed.

Abstract OBJECTIVE In the early 20th century, Dr. Cushing first demonstrated the use of electrical stimulation mapping (ESM) to define motor and sensory cortices during neurosurgical procedures. Essentially, little has changed in what guides a neurosurgeon’s intra-operative decision-making since. Inherent limitations of ESM such as limited depth penetration and risk of seizure elicitation, warrant the development of new image-guided resection tools. Here, we present functional Ultrasound (fUS)-imaging as a new, high-resolution tool to guide intra-operative decision-making during awake tumor removal. METHODS fUS relies on high-frame-rate ultrasound, which offers images at thousands of frames-per-second. As such, fUS is sensitive to very small motions caused by vascular dynamics (µDoppler), allowing measurements of changes in cerebral blood volume (CBV). This facilitates the possibility to 1) detect functional response, as CBV-changes reflect changes in metabolism of activated neurons through neurovascular coupling and 2) visualize high-resolution vascular morphology of tumor and healthy tissue. During conventional awake craniotomy surgery, n= 10 patients were asked to perform 60s functional tasks to elicit cortical responses. Simultaneously, a conventional 5 MHz ultrasound probe connected to an experimental acquisition system, was placed over ESM-defined functional areas. After image acquisition, correlation analyses with the corresponding tasks revealed functional and non-functional areas. In addition, 3D vascular maps were reconstructed from subsequent 2D-Power Doppler Images (PDIs). RESULTS fUS was able to detect functional areas as activated using conventional motor tasks, as well as complex language-related tasks. In addition, both 2D-PDIs and 3D-reconstructions revealed the ability of fUS to detect unique high-resolution onco-vascular characteristics in high- and low-grade malignancies. In all cases, images were acquired with micrometer-millisecond (300 µm, 1.5-2.0 msec) precision at imaging depths > 5 cm. CONCLUSIONS Applying fUS-imaging successfully in this awake craniotomy series serves as a clear demonstration of the technique’s revolutionary potential for maximizing safe tumor removal.
