In this article we developed scientific and applied foundations of commercialization of the nature-resource potential of anthropogenic objects, on theexample of exhausted mines. It is determined that the category of “anthropogenic object” can be considered in a narrow-applied sense, as specific anthropogenic objects to ensure the target needs, and in a broad theoretical sense, meaning everything that is created and changed by human influence, that is the objects of both artificial and natural origin. It was determined that problems of commercialization of the natural-resource potential of anthropogenic objects are most often considered by researchers for specific objects, without having complex methodological coverage from the point of view of combining environmental, technical, economic and managerial components. When studying the substantiation of the scientific base, the authors confirmed the feasibility of the commercialization of natural-resource potential of anthropogenic objects on the example of a number of theoretical scientific studies in reclamation, reconstruction, recreation, remediation, restoration of biological productivity and economic value of land disturbed by economic activity. The considered examples of exhausted mines in the 21st century in the USA, Canada, Germany, Romania, and Poland indicate a wide range of opportunities for their commercialization. The study of the potential for commercialization of exhausted mines in the post-Soviet countries testified to the underused reserves for the commercialization of their nature-resource potential and their high potential for further development. The authors proposed the identification of anthropogenic objects on the basic livelihood spheres of society. There were identified the main system (natural, biological, technical, economic, social,managerial) and structural (subjects, trends, threats, risks, problems, challenges) factors of diagnosing the state of an anthropogenic object. A set of measures has been developed for commercialization of an anthropogenic object in functional and production activities, product policy, financial and investment spheres, pricing and sales policies, promotion, management and determination of property rights. Recommendations were provided on optimizing the management decision-making process based on a set of positivistic development principles, methods, and management functions. The study allows international organizations, state and local authorities, territorial communities, owners and potential investors to see new opportunities and make mutually beneficial decisions on the rational use of the nature-resource potential of anthropogenic objects.

Abstract. Volunteering for society is of multidimensional significance nowadays. From the organisation’s position, it represents a cheap source of work, mostly in the fields where there are several reasons for the work not being done by professionals, or possibly where it saves time for the employees who can more intensively perform other activities. It is of economical significance not only in the calculation of costs and expenses in the non-profit organizations’ management, but also on the macro-economical level. Therefore, several countries perform conversions of volunteering into full-time jobs, possibly into the economic value of volunteering in the respective country’s GDP creation. The problem probably lies in the fact that the acquired data depend more on the volunteering evaluation and are hardly comparable among the respective countries.From the marketing point of view, the other significance is found in creating goodwill and its spread by the organizations dealing with volunteering that can be used in systematic work with the media, in acquiring new volunteers, and in creating new types of stimuli for them.This research deals with the commitment and motivations of the young generation of Czech students of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport of the Charles University in Prague (further FTVS UK) and of the following foreign universities and independent graduate schools: West Virginia State University (further WVSU) in the United States of America, and Deutsche Sporthochschule Köln (further DSHS) in the Federal Republic of Germany. The acquired results show that Czech students engage in volunteering very little in comparison with the foreign ones. Czech students have even stated that they do not have sufficient motivation for volunteering. If they engage, then it is mainly in the field of sports, which is quite understandable in the case of students of sports branches of study. Actually, over 85% of FTVS UK students only volunteer in the sports domains occasionally or very seldom, and they usually do it at sport events. At the same time, foreign German and U.S. students volunteer in sport clubs as a regular activity, also more students volunteer than in the Czech Republic. From the institutional point of view, sport clubs appear to be the most important promoter of volunteering in all of the mentioned countries.For students of the studied universities, the main reason for becoming a volunteer is “to acquire new experiences”. Another reason is the fact that they want to “support a good idea / project”. The research has shown that American students consider volunteering to be a moral obligation. In fact, volunteering in their society is a completely ordinary thing which makes citizens to be proud. For American students, to be serviceable to other people is the most important factor. This can be justified by the fact that volunteering is so popular in the USA because it is accepted as an ordinary part of life. On the contrary, German students prefer the fun standpoint connected with volunteering when performing volunteering. At the same time, Czech students give priority to an interesting environment to volunteer in. In general, regarding the respondents’ motivations we can state that students of these three universities evaluate volunteering as being a very good experience for them, and they mostly want to keep on doing it. However, this motivation was lower for the FTVS UK students in absence of any reward for their work. This implies that the Czech students perceive the essence of volunteering differently from foreign students.Key words: volunteering, volunteering in sport, benefits of volunteering for NGOs in sport, volunteers’ motivations, stimuli and motivating factors for volunteering

Abstract Introduction Sexuality-based stigma is prevalent in the USA and is, in part, based on religious and gender norms. In the South—compared to other regions—religiosity is more salient, gender norms are more conservative, and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) inequities are more prevalent. Methods Guided by a stakeholder Advisory Committee, the researchers conducted 20 in-depth interviews with Protestant religious leaders in Georgia from 2018 to 2019 to explore how faith leaders describe sexuality-based stigma, including toward abortion and sexual and gender minorities. Interviews were transcribed and thematically analyzed using team-based, iterative coding. Results Religious leaders held a wide range of abortion and sexuality attitudes and norms. Some described traditional judgment around the “sins” of abortion, “homosexuality,” and/or “transgender people” based on Scripture and constructs of the cisgender binary and sexual purity. But the researchers noted tension between that judgment and Christian ideologies of “love” and “all people [being] welcomed…[no] matter who you are.” Several participants provided counter-examples for building supportive and empathic abortion and sexuality norms—including LGBTQ inclusivity—through de-stigmatizing testimony and personal relationships. Conclusions There are linkages between abortion stigma and stigma against sexual/gender minorities among Southern religious leaders. However, there is also support for abortion and LGBTQ inclusivity. We assert that assets-based engagement of religious leaders is critical for building effective, inclusive faith-based SRH programming. Policy Implications These findings demonstrate the need for national, state, and local policies that protect comprehensive sex education, abortion access, and LGBTQ people.

Pasuruan has abundant natural resource potential. One of them is Salak fruit commodity. Pasuruan fruit is cultivated by many people in Gondangwetan subdistrict. With the area of plantation that initially reached 22 hectares, it is no wonder if the productivity level of the crop is quite high, namely reaching 7.3 tons in a single harvest. The problem faced by farmers fruit Salak in Pasuruan is the price of Salak fruit fluctuating and lack of skills and knowledge in processing Salak fruit into a product of high economical value. The purpose of this community service activities is to improve the knowledge and processing skills of Salak, increase the economic value of Salak fruit, and participants are able to choose the packaging and packing products processed salak properly. The method used to achieve the objectives is by counseling or lecture, training or practice of Salak fruit production and continued by packing and labeling of products. The results of the participants ' practice of jam, syrup and salak juice in general are appropriate and meet the criteria of the product set, worthy to be consumed and marketed. This activity will provide long-term benefits for the farmers if the community and wisdom holders in Brambang Village continue to provide support to the trainees to improve innovation and creativity in the processing, packaging and marketing of products.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to outline the organization and governance of the US vaccine and immunization enterprise. It describes the major components of the US system including the various relationships between major federal government entities, stakeholders, and advisory committees that inform government policymaking at various points in the system. Design/methodology/approach The authors describe the complex interdependent network of partners that engage in a wide range of activities such as disease surveillance, research, vaccine development, regulatory licensure, practice recommendations, financing, service delivery, communications, and post-licensure monitoring. Findings The US system of governance is highly participatory and focuses on a transparent and open engagement, with input from a wide range of partners to inform decision-making. This collaborative framework allows many inputs to be heard and helps support the US vaccine and immunization system as it evolves to meet the continued public health needs in the USA through the optimal use of safe and effective vaccines. Originality/value This is an invited article on the US vaccine and immunization enterprise. The development and availability of vaccines in the USA has had profound impact on mortality and morbidity and public health (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2011). The success of this enterprise is a result of a blended public and private sector system with partnerships at the federal, state, and local levels of government to optimize the use of safe and effective vaccines. Governance structures have been established to support the interaction and decision-making among the federal and non-federal actors toward the common goal of controlling and preventing infectious diseases.

AbstractComputer Science has an important impact on our every-day lives. Education in Computer Science is a difficult process that in the last decade has known radical transformations. New concepts were brought to life, for example K12, which regulates the way that the education develops in this domain from an educational system point of view and also from the teaching ways of the professors. The wide-range development of the Internet generated new ways of teaching in computer science. In this paper, I would like to present the way in which an interactive lecture can be held between a student and its teacher, a course that respects the SCORM standards of WEB implementation. Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) is a collection of standards and specifications for e-learning. This collection of standards is defined by the de Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL), an organization from the USA Defence Department.

Восточная Арктика России представляет собой удалённый и сильно изолированный в территориальном отношении регион страны. В последнее время её значение существенно возросло благодаря уникальному, имеющему стратегическое значение природно-ресурсному потенциалу и новых транзитно-транспортных перспектив её географического положения. Однако эти обстоятельства поспособствовали формированию вокруг Восточной Арктики достаточно широкого круга международных проблем. Их основой являются неразрешённые вопросы российско-американского акваториального разграничения и заинтересованность ряда стран АТР в получении свободного доступа к арктическому минеральному сырью и судоходству по Северному морскому пути. Наиболее конструктивный подход к их решению демонстрирует Китай, реализующий в Восточной Арктике подход стратегического партнёрства с Россией. The Eastern Arctic of Russia is a remote and highly isolated region of the country. Recently, its importance has increased significantly due to the unique, strategically important natural resource potential and new transit and transport prospects of its geographical location. However, these circumstances contributed to the formation of a fairly wide range of international problems around the Eastern Arctic. They are based on the unresolved issues of the Russian-American aquatorial delimitation and the interest of a number of APR countries in gaining free access to Arctic mineral raw materials and shipping along the Northern Sea Route. The most constructive approach to their solution is demonstrated by China, which is implementing an approach of strategic partnership with Russia in the Eastern Arctic.

It is shown that the issues of metrological traceability for extended self-luminous objects with a wide range of brightness have not yet been resolved, since the rank scales of embedded systems are used for processing digital images. For such scales, there is no “fixed” unit, which does not allow you to get reliable results and ensure the unity of measurements. An experiment is described to evaluate the accuracy of determining the intensity (coordinates) of the color of self-luminous objects. In terms of repeatability and intermediate precision compared to the reference measurement method, the color and chromaticity coordinates of self-luminous objects (reference samples) were determined by their multiple digital registration using technical vision systems. The possibilities of the developed methodology for colorimetric studies in hardware and software environments from the point of view of constructing a multidimensional conditional scale are determined.

The construction and selection of a suitable bijective function, that is, substitution, is now becoming an important applied task, particularly for building block encryption systems. Many articles have suggested using different approaches to determining the quality of substitution, but most of them are highly computationally complex. The solution of this problem will significantly expand the range of methods for constructing and analyzing scheme in information protection systems. The purpose of research is to find easily measurable characteristics of substitutions, allowing to evaluate their quality, and also measures of the proximity of a particular substitutions to a random one, or its distance from it. For this purpose, several characteristics were proposed in this work: difference and polynomial, and their mathematical expectation was found, as well as variance for the difference characteristic. This allows us to make a conclusion about its quality by comparing the result of calculating the characteristic for a particular substitution with the calculated mathematical expectation. From a computational point of view, the thesises of the article are of exceptional interest due to the simplicity of the algorithm for quantifying the quality of bijective function substitutions. By its nature, the operation of calculating the difference characteristic carries out a simple summation of integer terms in a fixed and small range. Such an operation, both in the modern and in the prospective element base, is embedded in the logic of a wide range of functional elements, especially when implementing computational actions in the optical range, or on other carriers related to the field of nanotechnology.
