The peculiarities of migration flows in Sub-Saharan Africa, the appearance of conflicts and the process of their arrangement are described in the article. The author examines the main migration trends, reasons, directions, specific features of migration in this region, attempts to show the intercommunication between migration and conflict on the example of the region and determines the degree of mutual influence. The author focuses on the fact that Sub-Saharan Africa is a complex structural system consisting of politically independent elements that frequently interact according to the orderly process. The elements of the system such as states, IGOs, NGOs and politicians cooperate with each other in public relations, create its structure and strengthen the system's integrity. ; В статье выявляются особенности влияния миграционных потоков, циркулирующих в Тропической Африке, на возникновение, течение и процесс урегулирования конфликтов. Автор рассматривает основные миграционные тенденции, присущие для данного региона, отмечает причины, направления, специфические черты миграции в Тропической Африке, предпринимает попытку показать взаимосвязь между миграцией и конфликтом на примере региона, определяет степень взаимного влияния. Автор исходит из того, что регион Тропическая Африка является сложноорганизованной системой, состоящей из политически независимых элементов, которые взаимодействуют со значительной частотой и в соответствии с упорядоченным процессом. Элементы системы: государства, МПО, НПО, политические деятели, – вступают друг с другом в общественные отношения, создают её структуру и придают системе целостность.
The article deals with the attitude to Protestantism in the post-soviet Russia. Formation of Protestantism in Russia can be considered in the present paper. Thus, the purposes of this research are to examine formation of Protestantism in Russia, to analyze attitude of Russians to Protestantism and to identify its reasons. The author's periodization of Protestantism formation in Russia is proposed. This periodization is based on 3 criteria: types of Protestants activities at each stage; the government's attitude to it; its functions. It is shown that the establishment of the Russian Protestantism version took five basic steps. In modern Russia, Protestantism has its own history, values it gained its traditions, and it has its own distinctive character. Protestant churches are ready to actively participate in solving the pressing issues facing the people of the country. The authors suggest that the most authoritative of them can and should acquire the status of social partners of state institutions and significantly contribute to the spiritual and moral education of young people, to overcoming child homelessness and neglect, to family strengthening, to improvement of moral atmosphere in society and to the formation of high standards of business, economic and work ethic. The positive development of this process and its dynamics are largely dependent on Russian Protestants consolidation and on their willingness and ability to develop and strengthen interfaith relations and cooperation. According to the article, the attitude of most Russians to Protestantism is largely negative, although most of them have friends or acquaintances among the followers of this religion. The reasons for this are stereotypes in the public opinion of Russians: about the church itself (simplification of ceremonies, of the Bible, of the decoration of the church), and about the personal qualities of the congregation (the rejection of community service and charity, lack of citizenship).KEYWORDS: religion, protestantism, spirituality, morality, social partnership, interfaith cooperation, attitude to protestantism, values of protestantism.

The research topicality is due to the fact that, under globalization, huge migration movement is observed in many countries. The processes of blurring the cultural and national boundaries of states (creation of the European Union, CIS, etc.) and increased migration from Islamic states to Europe, from the Central Asian states, former Soviet republics to Russia, greatly influence the processes of changing the urban sociocultural environment of these states. Russia is one of the major actors on the global scene, while the Ural region is, on the one hand, a rapidly developing region of the country, and on the other hand, one of the main Russian regions where migrants from Central Asia arrive. Although the issue of migration is rather well developed in the Russian and foreign scientific literature, poorly studied is the question of the migrants' role in changing the sociocultural environment of Russian megalopolises. Meanwhile, this topic is relevant and publicly significant both for the Ural region and Russia as a whole. This research is aimed at bridging this gap. The research objective is to study the role of migrants from Central Asia in changing the sociocultural environment of the Russian, including Ural, megalopolises. The research methodology combined quantitative and qualitative approaches. Primary data were collected with methods of a questionnaire (n=500) and in-depth interviews (n=30). The research revealed a new trend in migrant communities of the Ural region – forming ethnic elite in migrant communities of the same nationality, with relatively high income and high probability of planning to stay in Russia. The research showed an existing demarcation in constructing the environment of the modern Ural megalopolis: migrants are separated into a specific area – "an immigrant community", which is actually not integrated into the culture of the receiving country but is changing the urban sociocultural environment (55.0%). These migrants create a migrant community within the culture of a Ural megalopolis. The research identified two large urban districts inhabited by migrants from Central Asia (south-west of Yekaterinburg and "railroad station area" – Zheleznodorozhniy district). These are "Kyrgyz-town" and "Tajik-town" of the modern Russian megalopolis. About 60.0% of respondents live there. The districts inhabited by immigrants drastically change the sociocultural environment of the megalopolis. The authors conclude that social institutions (schools, shopping malls, cafes, hairdresser's, etc.) are the public places where the complicated interaction between the migrants and the receiving community is manifested. Research of such public places of the sociocultural environment of a megalopolis will help to predict the prospects of interaction between the migrants and the receiving community and to identify the forming predominant models of such interaction.
The agricultural production and agro-industrial sector are two major industries, the performance of which has an impact on the living standard of the population in different countries. The high quality of production in the agro-industrial sector determines both the availability of food for the population and the food security of the country. Taking into account that the most developed countries and countries with the transitive economy have already overcome the problem of food deficiency, and that still this problem exists in developing countries, this article suggests using a traditional tool for the quality management (Deming Cycle or PDCA), complemented by a strategically oriented approach. The main findings of the article are as follows: Firstly, the problem of food sufficiency is solved in the global economy in a different way; the majority of population in developing countries does not have access to good quality food. This has a negative impact on their vital activities, as well as on the overall socio-economic development of such countries; Secondly, the use of complicated management tools for steadily improvement of the production quality in the agro-industrial sector of developing countries is not always feasible from scientific and practical points of view. The complication of the tools does not involve the solution of the problem; Thirdly, a traditional quality management tool, known as the Deming Cycle or PDCA, has a significant potential for use even now. This article provides a strategic approach to the use of the Deming Cycle (PDCA) to solve the problem of deficiency and low availability of good quality food supplies in developing countries. ; peer-reviewed
Autoionizing resonances are paradigmatic examples of two-path wave interferences between direct photoionization, which takes a few attoseconds, and ionization via quasi-bound states, which takes much longer. Time-resolving the evolution of these interferences has been a long-standing goal, achieved recently in the helium atom owing to progress in attosecond technologies. However, already for the hydrogen molecule, similar time imaging has remained beyond reach due to the complex interplay between fast nuclear and electronic motions. We show how vibrationally resolved photoelectron spectra of H2 allow one to reconstruct the associated subfemtosecond autoionization dynamics by using the ultrafast nuclear dynamics as an internal clock, thus forgoing ultrashort pulses. Our procedure should be general for autoionization dynamics in molecules containing light nuclei, which are ubiquitous in chemistry and biology ; This work was supported by European Research Council advanced grant 290853-XCHEM within the seventh framework program of the European Union.
