As a result of the evaluation, the plants’ inventory metrics were determined, a visual diagnosis of the trees’ condition was performed, and recommendations for further measures were formulated.

The authors of the article invite readers to discuss issues related to the success of intercultural communication, and also make their additions to the very concept of “intercultural communication”, pointing out the need to consider it not only and not so much as the interaction of representatives of different countries, but also representatives of different cultures within one country, based on a comparison of their geographical, linguistic, educational, sociological and psychological characteristics. The article also talks about the increasingly dense presence of artificial intelligence systems in the education system and the role it can play in the development of successful communication skills. The authors of the article argue that the best way to acquire communication skills is to train in a simulated environment, since such complex skills are best acquired through experiential learning using conversational systems or chatbots, since artificial intelligence-enabled tools can listen to conversations and provide the missing information. or useful information. The authors of the article conclude that the potential of using artificial intelligence to improve intercultural communication and business communication has not yet been fully realized and believe that carefully designed research and development in this area can lead to the creation of new tools that promote more effective and harmonious intercultural communication in educational environment.

This paper analyzes an important and urgent problem that is the relationship between investments in nature, represented by environmental capital and economic growth. In the context of sustainable development and environmental conservation, interest in this topic is becoming increasingly significant. The paper examines the main theoretical concepts related to the impact of environmental capital on the economy, as well as presents the results of empirical studies confirming or refuting hypotheses about the positive impact of investments in nature on economic growth. This analysis allows us to identify key aspects of the interaction between environmental capital and economic development, which can serve as a basis for the development of effective strategies and policies in the field of sustainable development. The article also analyzes various approaches to measuring environmental capital and its impact on economic growth, taking into account the specifics of different regions and countries. Examples of successful investment strategies in nature are discussed, as well as obstacles and challenges facing the adoption of such measures.

The article discusses the features of the search for optimal solutions for balanced development and minimizing the negative impact on nature. According to the authors, economics and environmental protection should go hand in hand in the modern world, since modern eco-friendly technologies will allow entrepreneurs not only to preserve natural resources, but also to increase financial results and increase the level of business reputation, which will increase the degree of consumer loyalty to the products that such a company produces. Accordingly, it should be concluded that the prospects for interaction between ecology and the economy are extremely wide, their implementation will enable the modern economy to receive a significant incentive for growth and development.

The features of asymmetry and shape of small-leaved linden leaf blades (Tilia cordata Mill.) on the Kola Peninsula (Murmansk region, Kirovsk) and in the middle part of Russia (Moscow region, Orekhovo-Zuevo) were studied. The size of leaf blades in the northern population (Murmansk oblast) was significantly smaller (p

The results of investigations of chemical composition and emission rates of the welding fume, generated during welding using electrodes for copper alloys, are presented with the aim of improvement of their sanitary and hygienic characteristics. It is shown that in order to create new grades of welding electrodes with improved hygienic characteristics, it is necessary to have the data of the initial sanitary and hygienic evaluation in accordance with international standards. It was established that the use of binder based on pure lithium liquid glass in the coating of electrodes for welding copper alloys, increases the rate of welding fume emission into the air, as well as the content of manganese and copper oxides in it. The minimum rates of harmful emissions were recorded during the use of sodium-potassium binder, which is recommended for mass production of this type of electrodes.

The article discusses the formation of an “Ecological man” by means of psychological practices in the realities of the agricultural sector of the Krasnodar Region. The authors revealed the nature, content and characteristics of the impact of environmental anthropogenic factors on the “environmental man”; determined the criteria and conditions for the formation his ecological culture at the present stage in the realities of modern agribusiness; investigated the state of greening of rural areas of the Krasnodar Region; considered psychological practices as an effective technology for adaptation and life of the “environmental man” in the realities of the agricultural sector. The study allowed: to justify the need for the formation of an “Ecological man” and to propose a system of environmentally-oriented psychological practices for its formation and development, while simultaneously contributing to an increase in the efficiency of the agricultural sector; propose supplementing the monitoring of the ecology system of the Krasnodar Region with psychoecological and mediaecological components; to identify the possibility of highlighting the content of environmental values that determine self-development of a person and a change in attitude to the world. The agro-industrial complex must take on the strategy of creating and managing an informational ecological environment.

Flows of a viscous incompressible liquid with a thermocapillary boundary are investigated numerically on the basis of the mathematical model that consists of the Oberbeck-Boussinesq approximation of the Navier-Stokes equations, kinematic and dynamic conditions at the free boundary and of the slip boundary conditions at solid walls. We assume that the constant temperature is kept on the solid walls. On the thermocapillary gas-liquid interface the condition of the third order for temperature is imposed. The numerical algorithm based on a finite-difference scheme of the second order approximation on space and time has been constructed. The numerical experiments are performed for water under conditions of normal and low gravity for different friction coefficients and different values of the interphase heat transfer coefficient.

The two-dimensional films, flowing down an inclined, non-uniformly heated substrate are studied. The results contain the new mathematical models developed with the help of the long-wave approximation of the Navier-Stokes and heat transfer equations or Oberbeck-Boussinesq equations in the case, when the generalized conditions are formulated at thermocapillary interface. The evolution equations for the film thickness include the effects of gravity, viscosity, capillarity, thermocapillarity, additional stress effects and evaporation.
