Return of Russia to the Arctic has succeed. Further, it will be possible to argue on quality of this return, reversibility or irreversibility of this process. It is important that this result is recognized as the international community. It is achievement and a serious call for the Russian state in general. Our achievements and our defeats have external reaction, however, surprisingly similar — increase of the anti-Russian activity in all directions. Considering the status of our country, it is almost inevitable. A question what from this follows? Any mistake in management decisions leads to the accruing external influence. Sanctions tools are complemented with military threats fight for ecology is guided by bringing to the Russian energy sector of direct and indirect loss. In these conditions, effective interdepartmental interaction in carrying out the Arctic policy is necessary.

We consider the historical aspect of the formation of the modern information society as a result of the world information revolution. The main stages of the world information revolution are: the Neolithic revolution, iron revolution, the emergence of writing, the invention of printing; the appearance of the telegraph, telephone, radio and television; the emergence of electronic computers, the creation of the Internet. The idea of the information society was formulated in the late 60s — early 70s of the XX century. However, in the 70s of the 20th century there was a convergence of two simultaneously emerging ideologies — the information society and post-industrialism. To date, Information economy is a sector of the information industry of the economic system of the country. The new economic system is highly dynamic, leading to the growth of economic inequality countries, becomes a potential source of conflicts of a different nature. Information, as a reproducible resource, becomes an object of sale and purchase and a source of long-term economic growth. We consider the stages of the world information revolution. The Internet revolution is comparable in its value to the Neolithic and iron revolutions, with the industrial revolution that made the world economy leader England in the 19th century. We distinguish eight characteristics of the modern information society: unique knowledge, strengthening the role of entrepreneurship, digital technologies, creative highly qualified specialists, the growth of the global online population, the lack of ICT skills, the rapid development of the mobile world, the lack of a unified methodology for measuring ICT skills. The authors come to the conclusion about necessity of creation of uniform world information educational environment for people from all over the world due to the low global level of ICT-skills and the lack of a common methodology for the measurement ICT-skills.

To solve the priority task of the Russian Federation to ensure the effective socio-economic and sustainable development of the regions, it is necessary to carry out an adequate structural policy, the main purpose of which is to form a rational and balanced structure of the economy that can ensure the effective development of the region’s economy. In this regard, the relevance of modeling regional development using a structural approach is beyond doubt. The purpose of the research is to substantiate the need for a close study of the specifics of the regional structure and the features of its modeling, taking into account General and specific principles, tools and practical experience of their application. Scientific novelty is the study of not only the basic laws, features, principles, tools for modeling the structure of the region, but also the experience of their application in determining the proportions and trends in the development of the region in order to conduct an adequate structural policy. The study used theoretical and empirical methods, in particular: literature review, logical and system analysis, methods of empirical data collection, description, modeling, forecasting and processing of research results. As a result of the study, the authors obtained the following results: a comparative analysis of approaches to the definition of the concept of “region”, “structure of the region”; justified that the structure gives the necessary integrity and defines the main characteristics of the region, allowing to consider it as a complete socio-economic system; classification of types of regional structures; justified that the main quality property of the territory is polystructural. As a conclusion, the authors note that in this regard, there can be no single approach to the description of the structure for modeling regional development. Approbation of the author’s approaches to the structuring of the regional economy is made on the materials of the Kursk region. It showed the adequacy of the developed theoretical provisions and allowed to determine the directions of their further development for the improvement of regional structural policy.

Progress in informatics, computer technologies, artificial intelligence, cognitive sciences stimulated the growing interest in one of the central problems of management and management recently — to decision-making. It is realized that in the conditions of “dynamically developing world”, the new conceptual provisions in understanding of the nature of development and decision-making considering achievements of modern sciences and practice in various industries of life are necessary. All this demands expansion and reformatting of the existing teoretiko-methodological base of the theory of decisions due to inclusion in its context of basic provisions of modern cognitive sciences, the system analysis. The real research uses standard and descriptive approaches. Is result of a research: specification of the concept “management decision”, in the context of cognitive approach which is considered as a type of the objective knowledge expressing intrinsic signs (principles) of functioning of the operated system. The proof emergence of “bad result” is offered at “the brilliant decision” and “good result” at “the trivial decision” which is connected with implementation of the decision. Implementation of the decision is considered as establishment of the sequence of microdecisions which is conducted by the manager on the basis of criteria not only utilitarian and axiological character, but also other. The sequence of microdecisions in the project of implementation of the decision can be determined and accidental. The place and a role accidental in development and design of decisions is specified. Article can be useful to all who deals with issues of the theory and methodology of management.

The authors develop their approach to assessing the growth potential of the educational performance indicators of the regions of the Russian Federation. For this purpose, the proposed methodology is generalized in order to create a more universal model, which allows one to go to the stage of formulating the necessary managerial decisions.

The relevance. The article is devoted to the consideration of a question that would seem to be of a purely medical and philosophical nature, when a person, under aggressive influence and sophisticated pressure of the media, chooses a pattern of his eating behavior that differs markedly from the generally accepted behavior, called normal. Adhering to the chosen method of eating behavior, the consumer brings his body to a certain degree of weakening, mental torture and with a diagnosis of “Nervous orthorexia” turns into a patient of specialized rehabilitation clinics, becomes the ward of doctors for the treatment of white brain. For any organism, the consequences of such a diagnosis are usually destructive.

Objective. The authors of the article are trying to investigate the genesis of this little-studied problem and find any connection with the level and quality of life of Russians in recent years, with the quality of food consumed and with the general psychological state of society during its testing with an excessively long crisis.

Methods. Diagnostic packages, testing of the functional state of patients according to Donini&Marsili, ORTO-15 and their clinical surveys are already as respondents. A large statistical sample of the online survey is represented by 612 respondents of different sexes and different age groups. To assess the standard of living and morbidity by Nervous orthorexia, statistical methods were used to measure the relationship of Spearman, Pearson, structural averages, etc.

Results. Nervous orthorexia has been found to be characterized by the phenomenon of avoidant behavior that is included in the group of nonspecific eating disorders of the patient.

Conclusion. The results of the retrospective period confirm the working hypothesis about the existence of a statistically significant relationship between the decline in the standard of living of urban population in the Northwestern Federal District and the incidence of Nervous orthorexia in its various manifestations.

In the article the author considers collective and personalized forms of management of the editorial staff. In the author’s opinion, in the modern editions the administrative link of the edition is subject to constant changes and searches. It all depends not only on the quantitative composition of the editorial board, but also on the management tasks ahead for the leadership of the publication. What is the model of management the most preferable in modern conditions? What are administrative tasks of editorial management? What functional roles do they play? These are the primary issues that the author tried to answer in this article. The primary research objective of this project is the determine the main functions of collegial and personalized subjects of management, on which the success of the editorial team mainly depends. In the modern edition, management functions can be performed collegial bodies (editorial board, secretariat) as well as by personalized persons (editor-in-chief, Executive Secretary, etc.). They can perform their regulatory functions through the principles of directive, regulation and normativity. The author appeals to the analysis of domestic media experience in the field of editorial management, to show how these principles are put into practice.

In the history of mankind, much indicates that the understanding of man and the knowledge of his nature is associated with the socio-historical situation of man and the level of development, as well as the way of realization of human consciousness. The author of the article adheres to the position that philosophy is directly or indirectly anthropological research, i. e. it carries out directly, having as an object of study directly human nature, or indirectly, studying any other manifestations in the light of man and the anthropic principle. The world is proportional to man, and through the study of human nature, the ways of interaction with the universe, can be made a significant contribution to the understanding of the essence of man. If we consider a person as a cultural being, which is focused primarily on the development of their own values, through the understanding and practical application of philosophical thought, can be gradually changed rather narrow horizon of philosophy of consciousness. The article presents an attempt to determine the self-existence of a person, to determine its relationship with national identity and idea.

The goal — the study of peace and peaceful existence as the basis of the entire human civilization — has been achieved by solving of the following tasks: 1) philosophical and linguistic analysis of the concepts of «peace» and «peaceful existence»; 2) consideration of the problem of peaceful existence in a logical-historical aspect; 3) the study of the praxeological aspect of the problem, that is, specific ways to achieve peace; 4) consideration of the essence and foundations of the social world; 5) highlighting the role of religions and religious denominations to ensure a peaceful existence. Research methods include methods of historical and philosophical, cultural and linguistic analysis, comparative approach. Results. The main aspects of peaceful existence as a basic concept of the whole human history and civilization have been considered. Peace and war as two dialectical foundations of human existence are closely interconnected throughout world history. This proves both the conducted linguistic analysis and the logical-historical approach to the problem of peaceful existence. The state of the peace was not always recognized as indispensable for individual and social being. Following Heraclitus, philosophers often had recognized the benevolent nature of war as a factor that binds states and nations together. But in the twentieth century, the war acquired such qualitative characteristics that any military confrontation can lead to a nuclear apocalypse, although even today many advanced technologies appear precisely in the military industry. In the era of civilizational confrontation caused by globalization processes, the achievement and preservation of universal peace has become a vital task for all mankind. Findings. The notions of a peaceful existence have evolved from thinking about the artificiality of the world and the naturalness of hostility and war for humanity and the individual to the axiomatic concepts that extol world peace on the planet as the only means to avoid nuclear apocalypse. Globalization can contribute to the awareness of the fragility of the entire human civilization and the uniqueness of the sociocultural formations that make it up. In order to achieve peace on the planet, it is necessary to abandon attempts to unify it by force. The entire wealth of human culture cannot be simplified and unified within the framework of a single geopolitical, economic and cultural paradigm. Aggressive attempts of such a kind can lead to the complete destruction of mankind.

The article on the basis of archival documents, collections of decisions of state bodies, memoirs of famous military leaders — participants of the Battle of Kursk, materials of the newspaper Pravda and the magazine “Red Army”, selected works of state and political figures examines the organizing activities of party and Soviet bodies: GKO, Stavka VGK, SNK of the USSR, People’s Commissars of the USSR, the Military Councils of the fronts and armies, aimed at consolidating and mobilizing the entire Soviet people and the national-economic complex to defeat the German cofascist troops on the Kursk Bulge. During the analysis of archival sources and memories of military leaders, the author comes to the conclusion that rear workers, sacrificing time, straining their strength and capabilities, worked for the front with renewed energy in order to provide the Army in good time and in sufficient quantities with guns, tanks, self-propelled artillery, airplanes, machine guns, assault rifles, mortars, ammunition, equipment, food, etc.

The article analyzes the experience of interaction of public authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in the field of health protection with civil society institutions through the use of telecommunication systems. The author has studied in detail the main characteristics of the work of the “hot lines”, such as: number, date of creation, monthly average workload, as well as the subject matter of the calls. The use of the study, including the mathematical apparatus, made it possible to identify the strengths and weaknesses of this communication resource, as well as identify the possibilities for its further development to improve communication between government bodies and civil society institutions.
