This year has brought many changes in different parts of the world: here it has caused a stir on the land, and there it has calmed it down; here a luminary has set, there another one has begun to shine; here the world has learnt a new mystery of being, and there dwellings and generations have crumbled into ash. I. Goncharov. Oblomov If we continue the classic's tirade, it should be noted that one of the changes has embraced not just separate parts, but the entire world. And that, of course, is the pandemic, with its insistent attempts to limit our freedoms, to force communication into the narrow confines of virtuality, and to change our way of life in general. Pandemic powerfully draws everyone's attention, even from total digitalization and other progress. We confess immediately and frankly: we do not hope to cover the subject, it is too huge. What we put on the cover is not a claim to an exhaustive analysis of the topic, but rather a key word of the issue. So, CHANGES. The Russian government is putting forward a draft of the Eastern Turn. Its possible significance for the eastern regions of the country and for Irkutsk in particular is discussed by the members of the discussion club of pb (24). Another important and hotly debated change is related to global warming and its implications for geopolitics. To what extent does this time of change repeat a previous similar period in the middle of the last century? What mistakes were made, what opportunities were not seized, and what can we now learn from past experiences? Academicians Kudryavtsev and Bokov (58) reflect on the changes that caused a significant stir in national architecture in the 1950s and 1960s. Although pushed aside from the forefront, digitalization continues to promise a variety of wonders. We are in for multiclouds, 6G, holographic and haptic communications, virtual doubles and the primacy of artificial intelligence. Such things as unprecedented phenomena of digital nomads will appear. How ready are we for this? Our permanent author Peter ...

The article deals with the issues of urban settlements and urban lifestyle from the point of view of structural changes under the influence of transformational processes in the development of productive forces, tools and means of production. The author notes the historical nature of this process associated with the geographical environment, resources and migration flows under the influence of the development of capitalist relations. Some peculiarities of lifestyle in Baku as a city with an ancient history, with a number of characteristic features of a distinctive way of life, combining the traditions of several generations and different civilizations, are analyzed.

Climate change is an existential concern for countries across the Middle East and North Africa. Yet as governments invest in climate mitigation and adaptation, the specific impacts of a warming climate on women are often overlooked.

The given paper touches upon the problem of German migration policy in contemporary period. The on-going processes allow us to conclude that the German migration paradigm has been changing as well as one of the most successful states in the European Union and as a state endowed with the greatest peace load after the crisis of 2008. The study gives the main qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the German migration policy in the 2000s. First of all, it is characterized by changes in the geography of migration flows. In 2004, with ten new countries entering the EU, the inflow of migrants from Eastern Europe countries began to increase. During this period, the number of immigrants from Poland has almost doubled. After Bulgaria and Romania joined the EU, the number of people from these countries also increased by more than three times. At the period of 2008 crisis, the inflow of migrants from Italy, Spain, Greece and the Balkan countries intensified; the number of migrants from Croatirapidly increasedafter this country joined the EU in 2013. The author analyzes the qualitative composition of migrants and concludes that, from the beginning of the 21st century, the working migration, having dominated for many decades, is gradually changing in favor of skilled workers' migration. The important role of universities in order to attract highly qualified specialists is substantiated. The migration impact on the labor market is studied with a special attention. It is due to the fact that, when arriving in the country and getting the opportunity to apply skills and realize their human capital, a migrant becomes a kind of investor in the hosting country economy, contributing to its growth. One of its main advantages is that, already having a certain set of knowledge and skills (the hosting country does not need to pay for his education), he can generate new knowledge, create innovations, thereby increasing the competitiveness of the recipient country economy. Germany has a policy of attracting highly qualified ...

The aim of the present study is to investigate the risk of climate change on Istanbul. Istanbul is the largest city, in terms of both population and economic activity capacity, in Turkey meaning that any climate-related risk would be destructive not only for the city but also for the country. The urban system has been identified based on urban sectors that are the issues of activities, management areas, ecological systems, resources and species and critical for economic viability and public health of the city, also likely to be affected by climate-related disasters. 11 urban sectors and 25 sub-sectors, which are also presented as planning areas, have been determined considering the development strategies of Istanbul as water resources, health, energy, agriculture, transportation, development and land use, public safety, infrastructure, biodiversity and ecology, culture and materials. ICLEI's handbook titled "Preparing for Climate Change: A Guidebook for Local, Regional and State Governments" guided the risk assessment of these planning areas and sectors. The data has been obtained via in-depth interviews with city stakeholders and the sectors have been ranked considering the risk factors of each. The results of this study reveal the urban sectors that are under the greatest and lowest risk due to the impacts of climate change. Highlighting the climate change risk on vital sectors of Istanbul is essential for decision makers to develop further strategies to mitigate the impacts of climate change and adapt the upcoming impacts. ; C1 [Aygun, A.; Baycan, T.] Istanbul Tech Univ, TR-34437 Istanbul, Turkey. ; [Aygun, A.] Pamukkale Univ, Kinikli Campus, TR-20160 Denizli, Turkey.

Modern companies operate in a very ambiguous, complex environment. In addition to survival, which is important, and often becomes the main task of companies, they must adhere to other goals that form their mission and strategic guidelines. These guidelines are associated with the concept of sustainable development, which considers several main areas: social, economic and environmental. This article analyzes the key components of a sustainable development strategy in the countries of the European Union and the Republic of Moldova, and also the role of change management in this context. ; Irina Dorogaia, PhD, Associate Professor Academy of Economic Studies of Moldova

Analysis of attitude towards various professions (attractiveness or prestige) is a integral part of studying the choice of profession. The dynamics of the attitude of young people to the studies indicates that it is clearly connected with the current situation and changes when new phenomena arise in it. Thus, in the data of the 1960s echoes of recent events are noticeable - the launch of the first Soviet "Sputniks", the Yuri Gagarin's flight. The connection with the demand for professions, one way or another related to science and technology, is obvious: the attractiveness of the occupations of scientists and engineers is great. During the years of economic difficulties and shortages, attention was drawn to the rise in the attractiveness of the professions of a seller, an accountant, which had previously been among the lowest rated. Then the time came when the leaders were professions of a bank employee, a lawyer, a businessman, a foreign trade worker, and scientists, teachers fell lower and lower on the scale of attractiveness. In the 2010s, a civil servant joined the leaders.

The opinions expressed in each subsequent year belong to a different cohort of young people. Analysis of the dynamics over a long period of time also allows one to draw conclusions about the characteristics belonging to different generations. At the same time, it is found that in order to interpret the data, it is necessary to consider the attitude towards classes in connection with the accumulated experience of the family as well. Family experiences are translated into educational and vocational orientations of children. This is confirmed by data on motivation and the actual choice of education and profession. The conclusion that the formation of youth orientations is associated not only with the perception of the current situation, but also with the social experience of previous generations, is based on the materials of over 50 years of data.
