Higher educational institutions of Russia as a subject of economic activity: Innovations and their legal support

© 2017, ASERS Publishing House. All rights reserved.The article discusses various approaches to the definition of innovation. It is shown that at the present stage, there are economic and legal analysis of innovations and innovative development. The concepts of ‘innovation’, ‘innovation activity’ today are adopted by many international organizations, the European Union institutions, but at the international level, they still do not have a regulatory fix. It is shown that classification of innovations may be different depending on the criteria that form its basis (basic and improving innovation; customized and original innovation; open or closed (i.e. know-how) innovation; industry, intra-sectoral, and inter-state innovations; local or widespread innovation; identified innovations at its own expense, at the expense of the state budget, and at the expense of foreign investors). Authors analyze a possible variety of forms of cooperation between business entities and universities, as well as provide a review on legal support of this type of linkages. It is shown that Russia has a considerable experience in regulating the innovation activity. The first legal document is considered to be manifest on June 17, 1812 ‘On privileges for various inventions and discoveries in the arts and crafts’. The study revealed the rising role of higher education institutions in the innovative development in the Russian Federation

Cave deposits as a sedimentary trap for the Marine Isotope Stage 3 environmental record: The case study of Pod Hradem, Czech Republic

Pod Hradem Cave, located in the Moravian Karst, Czech Republic, offers an excellent opportunity for environmental reconstructions of Marine Isotope Stage 3 (MIS 3) in Central Europe due to its detailed sedimentary record dated 50,000 to 28,000 cal BP. Identifying the natural environments of the Middle to Upper Palaeolithic (MUP) transition is necessary to understand the settlement strategies and related behaviour of both Neanderthals and Anatomically Modern Humans, both of whom may have occupied the region at the same time. A multidisciplinary excavation was carried out between 2011 and 2016. Detailed analyses of the sediments, vertebrate microfauna, pollen and charcoal revealed minor but observable fluctuations in climate, with little change in the surrounding vegetation. The Pod Hradem palaeoenvironmental dataset is complex, but generally reflects a predominantly glacial climate with a range of vegetation types and habitats during the Late Pleistocene, followed by the warmer and more humid Holocene. The MUP transition as recorded in Pod Hradem Cave was a glacial environment interrupted by two relatively warmer periods. Central Europe experienced extreme climate fluctuations during MIS3, as recorded from different sedimentary archives, but it seems that the Pod Hradem Cave environment may have acted as a buffer zone, ameliorating those extremes, and providing a suitable refuge for both bears seeking winter hibernation dens and occasionally visiting humans.Thisproject was funded from the SoMoPro programme.
