Subject . Human resources potential of the scientific and technological space. Topic . Research of theoretical and methodological aspects of assessing the human resources potential of the scientific and technological space. Purpose. To study and systematize the theoretical and methodological aspects of evaluating the human resources potential of the scientific and technological space. Methodology. Methods of comparison, analogy, induction and deduction, analysis and synthesis. Results . The analysis of concepts and positions in relation to the content of human potential, as well as its transformation in the scientific and technological space, the problems of components of human potential with justification and confirmation of their statistical data, etc. Criteria that can be used in the development of a new methodology for evaluating human resources are highlighted. Applicationarea . Scientific, scientific and technological, innovative, personnel policy. Conclusions . In order to help solve the problem of economic transformation (both in theoretical and practical aspects) and its components (human resources), a classification of methods for evaluating human resources was formed based on such characteristics as orientation (to assess the quality/quantity/set of indicators); source of assessment or role of human resources (for an employee/employer/regional authority); method of assessment (integral indicator/rating/comparison with a standard); interpretation of human resources (system/resources/process/result); scale and labor intensity (one indicator derived from several//system of grouped indicators). The principles that are necessary are highlighted.

Subject . Regional features of digital economy development in the Russian Federation regions. Methodological problems of evaluating the digital economy and applied research of its development in different regions. Differentiation of regional digital economies and development of promising directions for the development of the digital economy of individual regions. Topic . Formation of relevant approaches to assessing the development of the regional digital economy and solving problems of digital inequality among Russian regions. Purpose. Assessment of the development of the digital economy in Russian regions (their homogeneous groups) and justification of a differentiated approach to the selection of appropriate measures and tools for managing development processes. Methodology. The assessment of the development of the digital economy of Russian regions was made using cluster analysis, which allowed dividing 85 regions of Russia into virtual clusters by 14 indicators. The study uses data from official statistics «Monitoring the development of the information society in the Russian Federation». Normalization of indicators was carried out using the MS Excel program; the division of regions into clusters was made using the Statistica 10 program using the K average method for normalized values of indicators.Results . As a result of virtual clustering, five similar groups of Russian regions were analyzed. Leaders and outsiders are identified among them, and their weaknesses and strengths are identified, including in the context of public subsystems (households, the public sector, and business structures). The necessity of a differentiated approach to the choice of measures and tools for managing the development of digitalization for a specific subject of the Russian Federation is shown. Applicationarea . The results of the research can be used in the development and updating of national and regional documents on the development of the digital economy. Conclusions . Methods for assessing the development of the digital economy, as well as the composition of the indicators used in them, remain variable. The currently dominant ratings for the development of the digital economy set priorities, but they cannot form homogeneous groups of countries or regions for certain components of the development of the digital economy. The use of cluster analysis allowed us to identify three leading groups of Russian regions, characterized as territories of active users of information and communication technologies in the corresponding social subsystemthe driver of the digital economy development. The remaining two clusters, which unite half of the Russian regions, are outsiders in an unbalanced state. When determining the future directions of development of the digital economy of individual regions (their groups) and selecting management tools, it is advisable to take into account the existing differentiation and focus on the corresponding subsystem drivers.

Theme . Agrarian nature management, assessment of the natural environment of the Kursk region and its landscape ecological zoning. Topic. Reduction and elimination of negative natural phenomena based on the formation of agrarian nature management, namely the implementation of the entire system of environmental protection measures, including reducing the speed of dry winds and snowstorms, regulation of surface runoff.

To develop practical recommendations for the formation of agrarian nature management in the Kursk region in the context of the development of negative natural and anthropogenic processes. Methodology. Methods and techniques for comparative analysis of the existing natural and anthropogenic conditions of the territory of the Kursk region in the context of the formation of agrarian nature management. Results. Practical recommendations are proposed for the formation of agrarian nature management in the Kursk region based on the study of the conditions for the development of negative natural and anthropogenic processes on its territory. As part of this, an assessment of the natural environment, in terms of land and water resources, was carried out, and on its basis, a landscape ecological zoning of the territory of the Kursk region was developed. Applicat ionarea . Nature management and nature management economics. Conclusions. It was revealed that the topical method for optimizing the landscape ecological situation of the territory is a regional approach based on landscape ecological zoning, landscapetypological mapping and the establishment of the landscape ecological state of terrain types. In order to preserve and effectively use the natural resources of the Kursk region, it is necessary not only to introduce landscape reclamation techniques into the practice of nature management, but also to carry out a number of environmental measures. In the conditions of vastly vast arable lands, the mosaic nature of the territory is of particular importance, which can significantly diversify and enhance the stability of these territories, anti erosion resistance of soils and, as a result, will contribute to an increase in crop yields.
