Development of new geographical research direction in post-Soviet space is caused by the necessity to understand spatial diversity of everyday life and to solve related issues at the local level. In many cases the diversity of everyday life affects not only the living conditions, but also shapes behavior, practices and habits of the local population. If in humanitarian sciences everyday life is actively studied, in geography this topic is still overlooked. Previous spatial studies of everyday life show that research results are actually relevant and lead to the emergence of a new research direction – an everyday geography. The purpose of the article: based on the analysis of the world discourse and the results of own studies of the spatial diversity of everyday life, to reveal possible ways of formation and development of a new geographical research direction in post-Soviet space – everyday geography. There is no universally accepted methodology for the study of geography of everyday life, but experience shows that both traditional geographical and specific methods from social sciences, representational and non-representational methods can be successfully applied. Results. The world geography gives much more attention to the studies of the spatial diversity of everyday life in comparison with post-Soviet countries, and as a result emotional, affective, animated geographies are developed, as well as geography of fear, geography of trauma, etc. Everyday life refers to ordinary, mundane activities, experiences, behavior, and interaction with the environment. Everydayness is considered as a temporal (daily, monthly, annual) cross-section of living (personal, communal, societal) environment within a particular territory. Everyday life is practiced as a socio-cultural world, where particular person exists just like other people, interacting with them and non-human objects, influencing them, changing them, and simultaneously is affected and changed by them. Everydayness shapes daily life – the constant processes of ‘everydaying’ human activities in the form of communication with the environment, learning the traditions and consolidation of behavior rules, ‘mastering’ a lifestyle, tools to achieve goals, etc. However, everyday life is constantly disturbed by innovations, appearance of the unusual, deviation from stereotypes, traditions and the formation of new rules. Unusual for a certain period participates in the process of ‘everydaying’ and then becoming everyday, mundane, taken-for-granted, extends the scope of everyday life. The everyday geography explores particular reactions of people in particular spatial conditions. Everydayness is everywhere, and researchers study everyday spaces, everyday practices, everyday mobilities, everyday conflicts and resistance, even everyday geopolitics and, more broadly, everyday life and everyday geographies.

Methodology. The study was conducted using a set of multidisciplinary approaches and methods. The paper was used philosophical, general scientific and concrete scientific research methods. Among them: methods of analysis and synthesis, comparative geographical method, mathematical and statistical, graphical method, problem method and some others. Results. Forced migration in Georgia and Ukraine is associated with armed conflicts, which were supported by the separatist sentiments of the part of the population. The center of the military confrontation in Georgia in 1989-1992 was the Tskhinvali region (South Ossetia), and in 1992-1993 – Abkhazia. In 2008, an armed conflict arose between Georgia, Russia and the separatist groups of South Ossetia, referred to as the Russian-Georgian war. In 2014, the Donbass (Donetsk and Luhansk regions) became a center of hostilities in Ukraine. Because of such military conflicts, millions of people have become internally displaced persons – a socially vulnerable category of the population. Analysis of the structural features of the IDPs of Georgia and Ukraine shows the unevenness of their territorial distribution: IDPs are settled in large cities close to their previous homes and almost completely ignore the countryside. Such resettlement speaks about possible intentions to return to their previous places of residence. As a result of the displacement of IDPs, a large burden on the social and economic spheres is observed in parts of Donetsk and Luhansk, as well as Kharkiv regions, the city of Kiev. A similar picture is observed in Georgia: IDPs are settled closer to the occupied regions of Abkhazia and the Tskhinvali region, in large cities and districts of Tbilisi, Samegrelo-Zemo, Svaneti and Imereti. IDPs have become a real challenge for both countries, with which the government could not finally cope. Unresolved in both countries are the housing problems of IDPs. In Ukraine, in addition to the housing problem, IDPs face acute problems with determining their status, social benefits, and employment. Ignoring the solution of these problems leads to increased tension in society, conflicts at the local level between the migrants and the local population, and, as a consequence, to repeated internal displacement. Resolving the problems of forced migrants should be the first line of policy with IDPs.

Permanent process of contamination and redistribution of pollutants in highway geosystems causes difficulties in determining the degree of soil pollution and the speed of this process. This problem can be solved when using the method of geoinformation modeling of pollution by heavy metals compounds of soil. The method allows you to set the spatial parameters of the contamination field and the speed of the contamination process. The goal of the work is to test the method on the examples of lead compounds in the soils of the mixed forest zone. The methodology uses geoinformation and mathematical models. These models describe the behavior of lead compounds when forming the contamination field. These are models of spatial distribution of heavy metals in the atmospheric air, soil, «soil-plant system». Results: working out the provisions of the methodology took place at the test area. This area has plain fluvio-glacial and fluvial relief, close to the surface of the groundwater, the presence of wetlands, the soils are preferably of light mechanical composition with acid reaction and fulvatic type of humus, that are typical for the mixed forest zone. The modeling process is divided into two stages: 1. determining the amount of lead compounds brought in over a period of time and 2. determination of the number of lead compounds that have been removed from soil or removed from migration flows the same time period. At each stage, models and tools supported obtaining, storing data, analyzing and displaying results of modeling. During the modeling process, we determined the total number of lead compounds coming per unit of time into the geosystem. First of all, we have identified the number of lead compounds entering the atmospheric surface from vehicles as the main source of emissions. We used an atmospheric impurity scattering model and obtained a mapping of the distribution of lead compounds in the near-earth layers of atmospheric air at dangerous wind speeds. In the next step, we determined the amount of lead compounds that reach the soil surface. The constructed surface, reflecting the spatial characteristics and intensities of the primary contamination field, became the basis for modeling the “soil cleaning processes”, following the main migration scenarios: lateral, radial and biogenic migration processes. For next step of modeling, we used a method that calculates soil loss (and, accordingly, lead compounds) from the site due to erosion processes. The number of lead compounds recovered from soils during lateral migration was determined. The results showed that in the test site geosystems, natural factors create conditions for the slow lateral migration. Closed negative landforms were geosystems with the highest probability of accumulation.

Detection of underground mines with the help of remote sensing devices replaces the traditional procedure of finding explosive objects, as it excludes the presence of a human in the area of possible damage during a charge explosion. Objectives: The aim of the work is to improve the recognition of three-dimensional objects and demonstrate the benefits of using a more informative data set obtained by a special antenna system with four receiving antennas. In addition, it is necessary to compare the effectiveness of artificial intelligence and the method of cross-correlation for recognition by subsurface radar, taking into account the additive noise of different levels present in practice. Materials and methods: The electrodynamic problem was solved by the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. An artificial neural network (ANN) is trained on ideal signals to detect the features of the field that will be found in noisy data to determine to the position of the object. Cross-correlation also involves the use of an array of ideal signals, which will be correlated with noisy real signals. Results: The optimal and effective ANN structure for work with the received signals is created. It was tested for noise immunity. The recognition problem was also solved by the classical method of cross-correlation, and the influence of noise of different levels on its responses was studied. In addition, a comparison of the efficiency of their recognition using 1 and 4 sensors was made. Conclusions: For subsurface survey problems, a deep neural networks with at least three hidden layers of neurons should be used. This is due to the complexity and multidimensionality of the processes taking place in the surveyed space. It has been shown that artificial intelligence and cross-correlation techniques perform the object recognition well, and it is difficult to identify the best among them. Both approaches showed good noise immunity. The use of a larger data set of four receivers has a positive effect on the recognition results.","PeriodicalId":52802,"journal":{"name":"Visnik Kharkivs''kogo natsional''nogouniversitetu imeni VN Karazina Seriia Radiofizika ta elektronika","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87985296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ionosphere was and will be the main channel for the propagation of radio waves of various bands (from extremely low to super-high frequencies). A feature of this channel is the dependence of its parameters on the state of space weather. Space weather is formed primarily by processes on the Sun and by processes on Earth (to a lesser extent). High-energy processes of man-made origin can also make a certain contribution to the state of space weather. Means of oblique sounding (OS) have significant opportunities for research in the field of geospace radiophysics, study of the channel of propagation of radio waves and dynamic processes in the geospace. In this case, both own radio transmitting devices and a network of broadcasting stations can be used. With the help of OS, it is possible to cover significant regions of the globe (up to global ones), and thereby study the dynamic processes in the geospace over these regions. The purpose of this work is to briefly describe the multi-frequency multiple-path radio system of the OS ionosphere and to illustrate its performance using the example of studying dynamic processes in the geospace. Techniques and Methodology. A coherent multi-frequency multiple-path oblique sounding radio system of the ionosphere is described. It is intended for radiophysical monitoring of dynamic processes in the geospace caused by variations in space weather, the impact on the ionosphere of high-energy sources of space and terrestrial origin. The complex is capable of receiving radio signals in the low-frequency (LF) and high-frequency (HF) ranges. Original software has been developed, depending on the range of tasks to be solved. The number of radio paths and their orientation depend on the specifics of the tasks being solved. The operation of the complex is based on measurements of the Doppler shift of frequency and amplitude or phase and amplitude of the signal. The autoregressive algorithm provides a Doppler frequency resolution of up to 0.02 Hz and a time resolution of 1 min. After obtaining the time dependences of the Doppler spectra, phases and amplitudes for various radio propagation paths, further processing of the time series is performed. Results. At V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University, a multi-frequency multi-path radio engineering complex for oblique sounding of the ionosphere has been developed and is operating, designed for radiophysical monitoring of dynamic processes in the geospace caused by variations in space weather, the impact on the ionosphere of high-energy sources of space and terrestrial origin. Conclusions. The successful functioning of the complex is demonstrated by the example of studying the dynamic processes in the geospace caused by the action of various sources of energy release.","PeriodicalId":52802,"journal":{"name":"Visnik Kharkivs''kogo natsional''nogouniversitetu imeni VN Karazina Seriia Radiofizika ta elektronika","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85889105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current challenges address global and regional threats to biotic and landscape diversity and the urgent need for its conservation, restoration and reproduction. They make it necessary to improve the tools for conceptual, information and calculating assessment of human activities impact on the environment. That is why the study of the landscapes anthropization, i.e. the process of their transformation through human activity, and the identification of the effects of this anthropization on the environment remains the most pressing problem of geography and geoecology. Given this, the paper objective was to substantiate, develop and verify new and sufficiently informative analytical tools for modeling anthropogenic impact of the land use and/or land cover (LULC) system on landscapes and/or physic-geographic taxons. Methods and results. The experience shows that the resumptive graphic solutions for the analysis of anthropogenic impact on landscapes can be correctly represented in the form of certain modified graphs of statistics. So, the classified scheme of the LULC system areas' cumulative distribution in landscapes and/or physic-geographic taxons was substantiated and constructed as analytical tool for modeling anthropogenic impact on landscapes / taxons. The scheme is based on the concept that the types of the mentioned distribution in its shape are adequate a certain category and the intensity of anthropogenic impact on landscapes or taxons. Properly the distribution of LULC system areas was typified by the ranges for the parameter of polynomial trends in the cumulative graphs of these areas in landscapes or their aggregations. Under these conditions, the scheme of areas' cumulative distribution operates with ten types of distribution – from excessively convex to excessively concave. These types also reflect different anthropogenic impacts on taxons – from weak to excessively strong. Verification of the scheme calculating LULC system areas' cumulative distribution was realized for the test megaregion, including 30 physic-geographic areas and 130 physic-geographic districts of the five regions in the zones of mixed (coniferous / broad-leaved) and broad-leaved forests and forest-steppe of Ukraine. Relevant digital choropleths concerning anthropogenic impact on these taxons were simulated and analyzed. Scientific novelty and practical significance. Scientific novelty is determined by the reason that the developed scheme and obtained model results are more parametrically diverse than in the existing procedures.
