A new design for syrup and juice clarifiers is presented. The design takes advantage of the considerably improved performance of clarifiers incorporating lamella plates, and the reasons for the improvement are outlined. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) work done to simulate the performance is summarised. This design enables the residence time to be dramatically reduced and the simplified design leads to cheaper and better clarifiers. Practical experience with factory scale units is described, confirming the good flow characteristics. The results of preliminary test work on a factory syrup clarifier are presented, which is also shown to operate efficiently as a phosphatation clarifier. In addition the performance of a full-scale juice clarifier has been evaluated and compared with the performance of a Rapidorr clarifier. This work confirms the considerable advantages which this type of design provides, in realising substantial reductions in residence time, capital costs and operating costs.

In connection with carrying out in 2018 of the activities of the world football Championship in several regions of the Russian Federation there is a perceived need for additional training of a large number of guides, guides and guides-interpreters. In the article based on modern scientific approaches and many years of practical experience, the authors propose a new structure of the course content quality of training of specialists of excursion business. The article discusses important differences in the training of the needed staff, on the one hand, in cities with experience of international competitions and Championships – Olympic games and Universiades, and, on the other hand, in cities where tourism business is seasonal e, which include the Volgograd. The article presents brief analysis of the problems and difficulties encountered in the preparation and subsequent work of guides and guides-interpreters of the Volgograd region. Special attention is paid to the insufficient competence of tour guides in the field of practice of the excursion. In this context, the article provides an overview of tour guides requirements, contained in the normative legal acts on the basis of which there is competence of the guide – the guidelines of the tour. The authors compare traditional (found in the literature) creative interpretations of the concept of «methodology of the tour». As a significant component of the methodology for the conduct of excursions are the types of special methodical knowledge of the guide and guide-interpreter, namely: psychological, pedagogical, vocational and applied, linguistic knowledge and the practical skills: communicative, organizational and compensatory. The article specifies requirements for teaching staff, conducting quality training courses guides and guide-interpreters, and procedural characteristics of education.

Tourism Potential

The cultural tourism is increasingly perceived as a resource for the territorial development in the post-industrial era. In this article, the author cites the most relevant and the detailed definitions of the cultural tourism, revealing its essence as an independent direction of the tourism industry with specific features that require the reflection and the study. Currently, the cultural tourism performs the econom-ic, cognitive, educational, communicational and peacemaking functions. It has a unique ideological and educational value, which provides the interaction, the dialogue of cultures, as well as the interac-tion and the mutual enrichment of the national, regional or territorial cultures that are self-described the tourist for the perception, the knowledge, the culture and the carrier indeed. The study stresses that its potential must be adequately assessed and used primarily at a specific territorial level – the regional one as well as to be an effective resource for the economic and socio-cultural development of the country’s cultural tourism. The author proposes an integrated approach, which involves highlighting and clarifying the main structural elements of the cultural tourism as an optimal methodological tool for assessing tourism potential, and considering the main aspects of its formation and its development. Particular attention is paid to the definition of the algorithm for applying an integrated approach to analyze the potential of the cultural tourism as a direction of the tourist industry. Three stages of the system analysis and the identification of trends and the directions for the development of the cultural tourism in a particular region are considered. The key components of the tourism potential of the re-gion are analyzed and described: the natural resource, the historical and the cultural, the social and the economic potentials. The author carries out a gradation of factors that have a systemic impact on the development of the cultural tourism. He also emphasizes that it is necessary to take into account their typology (subject, non-subject), as well as the regional specifics when evaluating the cultural and tour-ist resources and gives recommendations on the optimizing tourism activities at the regional level. The article describes the introduction of innovative market mechanisms in the cultural and tourist activities as an important condition for the successful development of the cultural tourism. So, one of the ways of the sustainable development of the region is the cluster approach, in which the territorial formations become the object of the state policy, is to allow using all components of the resource po-tential in tourism and to create complex tourist facilities. In conclusion, the author emphasizes that the cultural tourism in the modern conditions plays a significant role in the economic and the socio-cultural sphere of the society, in shaping the cultural policy, and understanding the place of the culture in the social development.

The topic of the paper is the relationship of the secular state towards the Orthodox culture in Serbia during the 20th and 21st centuries. Basic research problem is a usability of cultural values of Orthodoxy in contemporary Serbia after a period of antireligious propaganda in Yugoslavia. Therefore, the research is focused on the question of whether secular state legal and political instruments encourage or limit the protection, preservation, and the inclusion of Orthodox culture in the cultural life of the majority of the Serbian people on the territory of Serbia. Basic methods of empirical research is the media archeology applied in order to establish how much relevant data are available on-line. The survey results show a lack of participatory mechanisms of decision making on key issues of cultural life and cultural development, which is reduced to the secular dimension of culture. Therefore, the contemporary cultural policy mainly relates to the protection and preservation of the Orthodox cultural heritage, while in the arts, creativity and in?novation, there are no systemic solutions that encourage generic potential of Orthodox culture and influence the development of human capabilities in accordance with the Orthodox Christian values.

The frequency of interaction between teachers and students through Learning Management Systems (LMSs) is continuously rising. However, recent studies highlight the challenges presented in current LMSs to meet the specific needs of the student, regarding usability and learnability. With the motivation to support the research of effectiveness when using a Voice User Interface (VUI) for education, this paper presents the work done (RQ1) to build the basic architecture for an Alexa skill for educational purposes, including its integration with Moodle, and (RQ2) to establish whether Moodle currently provides the necessary tools for voice-content creation for develop voice-first applications, aiming to provide new scientific insight to help researchers on future works of similar characteristics. As a result of this work, we provide guidelines for the architecture of an Alexa skill application integrated with Moodle through safe protocols, such as Alexa’s Account Linking Web Service, while our findings ratify the need for additional tooling within Moodle platform for voice-content creation in order to create an appealing voice experience, with the capabilities to process Moodle data structures and produce sensible sentences that can be understood by users when spoken by a voice device.

Within the framework of the 10th International Science and Practical Conference “Organization of Construction and Development of Real Estate”, held in Moscow at the premises of the National Research Moscow State University of Civil Engineering (MGSU), a wide range of problems, dealing with the strategic focus of the real estate development at the present stage, was discussed. Not only did the methodological fundamentals of spatial and territorial development affect the goals and practical implementation requirements, but they also changed the management tools. New aspects of managing real estate as an investment asset emerged and started to develop in practice. The process required a number of provisions to be amended and recommendations to be made by the Conference participants. According to the conference speakers, managing real estate as an increasingly popular investment asset was among the problems that were least studied in the research literature. At the same time, the approach, proposed by the co-authors, encompasses management tools applicable to problem-plagued and normally functioning real estate, as well as complex real estate items integrated into separate elements of the urban planning structure. The management of numerous real estate facilities requires different approaches to be implemented by development companies (developers). They were studied by the co­authors who analyzed the case of Krasstroy Group of Construction Companies engaged in the construction and operation of real estate facilities. Understanding the practical experience of the company allowed the co-authors to systematize the principles of effective management, that represented a combination of advanced methods of design of universal modules of commercial premises, new functional opportunities provided by information and communication technologies, and methods of stimulating and coordinating operations performed by different stakeholders in urban districts and the city as a whole1. [1] This research was performed within the framework of the project “The study of the present-day structure and typology of housing and development of recommendations concerning the optimal number of apartments, taking into account demographic and social factors, as well as the entire range of needs of the population (using the case of Krasnoyarsk)” supported by the Krasnoyarsk State Autonomous Institution “Krasnoyarsk Regional Fund for Support of Scientific and Technical Activities” within the framework of the target competition of applied scientific research projects aimed at solving problems of urban development.

‘Open city’ is a new term that was coined after the cultural policies of European cities had been established. This phrase reflects the need for citizens to participate in the establishment of the city’s cultural policy, which is part of a new sustainable system that involves a digital approach to cultural goods. Most European cities base their cultural policy on four key principles: cultural identity, cultural diversity – interculturality, creativity, and citizens’ participation in cultural life. Cultural development strategy must ensure that these principles are observed by and intertwined with all public policies. This approach indicates the development of artistic disciplines in all contemporary directions and should have a direct influence on local governments and those in charge of the cultural sector. Cultural tourism greatly increases residents’ participation in cultural projects.
