Today one of the main factors of effective functioning of economic agents, including those integrated with the state, proves to be innovative ideas and information, which are formed in the field of social and informational interaction. The parties of the interrelations in the field of information technologies are both legal and physical entities, as well as state authorities and public and private partnerships. The article is devoted to formation of the conditions of competitive growth of Russian integrated companies via transition of the latter to informational and technological phase of development.

The article offers the authors approach to diagnostics of the level of use of innovation and resource potential of Russian territories. Ongoing, average and dynamic results of the functioning of the regions and federal districts are processed on the basis of the official statistics data. The evaluation of the spread in values of main regional indicators for a long period of time is made. The interrelation of the specific economic and infrastructural factors is justified. Key directions of the development of the depressive territories are defined.

The authors investigate the questions of the credibility of educational institutions, trying to determine the specificity of interactions inside these institutions. The problem is raised of using the category of confidence in order to assess the quality of interaction between major participants of interactions in educational environment. The authors focus on the problem of differentiation between trust in educational institutions (level of interpersonal trust is personalized, the level of impersonal trust, institutional trust level) and the problem of operationalization of the concept of trust. The authors present the results of original empirical research and on this basis demonstrate the situation with trust at school as an educational institution, analyze the factors affecting the credibility of school from the parents’ side.

The article reveals the need for teaching of the subjects, presuming organization and carrying out applied study concerning a specific subject, caused by the transformations in higher school with regard to implementation of the provisions of the Bologna Declaration, aimed at improvement of the quality of education. The place of the «Methodology of applied studies in business statistics» and «Methodology of applied statistical studies» in the curriculum of the bachelor degree program regarding 38.03.01 Economy («Business statistics and analytics» and «Statistics» profiles) is considered. The offered subject and organization procedure for applied studies within the teaching process, relying on experience in their conduction at NSUEM, are presented.

The article studies the matters regarding the risks, which may arise in the process of strengthening of a company according to the method of creation of the second publication or acquisition of the existing media. The theory of «cannibalism» by Jean-Jacques Lambin in relation to media is reviewed; the theoretical analysis of the possible scenarios of the theory development is carried out as well. Besides, the possibility of assimilation of the image of the acquired publication, as well as strengthening or altering own image, is analyzed.

A critical analysis of the existing approaches to analysis of the state of competition on the basis of determination of the level of economic concentration is carried out. The authors approach of the basis of the analysis of market participants behavior, based on evaluation of activity of buyers in change of sellers when making purchases is justified and offered; its advantages in comparison with the accepted approaches are registered. Approbation of the approach by the example of the evaluation of the state of competition at the housing services Internet access services markets in Novosibirsk is carried out.

The article considers the impact of Airbnb platform on the hotel sector in St. Petersburg in general, as well as in certain districts of the city. Proceeding from the target audience of Airbnb hypotheses are made as to how the service may impact occupancy of the hotels. The results of the study prove the hypotheses of various impact in central and bedroom districts of the city, uneven impact on the rooms of different comfort category; dependences on the number of accommodation services, presented at the service, their proximity to the hotel and prices are revealed as well. The model also includes the factors, not directly related to Airbnb: proximity of the hotel to metro, hotel room capacity, price of accommodation and rating at Booking.com. The article explains possible reasons of the obtained results.

The analysis of Trans-Urals (the Bashkortostan Republic) steppes has been carried out using 428 relevйs. Groups of species indicating position of plant communities on moisture and stoniness gradients were defined. We used ANOVA-based technique of definition of indicator species groups. The role of indicator species in diagnostic combinations of Trans-Urals steppe syntaxa was determined.

Perpendicularity of solar rays incidence on land surface, termed slope insolation, is calculated as non-linear function of slope steepness and exposure. This variable better describes light and thermal regime of slopes. We demonstrate that grass cover insolation can be evaluated from slope insolation and tree crown closure. It was found for a terrain at the southern boundary of the forest-steppe that species richness and green mass of herbage were closely related to topography and insolation (R² = 0.77 and 0.83, respectively), and crown closure - to topography and slope insolation from the south (R² = 0.85). Soil moisture was in general negatively related to slope insolation. A critical level of crown closure (15 %) was determined, the limiting factor for herbaceous plants was soil moisture below this level, and light was above it. Grass cover insolation close to its average value (400 W/m²) differentiated phytocoenotic characteristics onto areas of increased and diminished values.

Radial growth of the Scots pine growing in the forest-steppe zone of Western Transbaikalia on five sites was studied. For each site additional samples were collected, which allowed to increase reliability and build two regional chronologies. The analysis of correlations between chronology and such factors as monthly temperatures, precipitation and Selyaninov hydrothermal coefficient was performed. The analysis of a 10-day moving climatic series made it possible to clarify the periods of climate impact on growth: the basic limitation of pine growth in the region was observed by moisture availability, including conditions during the previous (from late July to late September) and current (May-mid-July) vegetative season. Also fluctuations of 23-35 years in the dynamics of climatic factors and radial growth of the pine were revealed.
