Annotation: The article proposes an innovative “three-contour model” of planning for sustainable development (SD) of Russian regions, integrating the adapted Chinese experience of spatial and functional zoning (PLE approach) and based on a system combination: a strategic goal-setting contour (mandatory ESG indicators, differentiated scenarios for risk zones), a contour of technological solutions (“innovative supermarkets” for testing SD solu- tions, small nuclear power plants for energy-efficient infrastructure) and data management circuits (AI-mediated “digital twins” of regions, blockchain registers of ESG reporting). The article analyzes the controversial as- pects of implementing the model, taking into account the territorial specifics, as well as the institutional risks in the context of Russian socio-economic realities. The conclusion is substantiated that the key innovation of the model is to ensure the synergy of spatial analysis of the dynamics of PLE spaces, advanced technological tools and adaptive management mechanisms, which forms the basis for the transition from declarative strategies to a geographically oriented SD and the creation of an objective multi-level assessment index. A structured list of arguments for practical implementation has been proposed: positive aspects are technological leap in monitor- ing and forecasting, and increased management adaptability; while negative ones are institutional inertia, high initial investments, and a shortage of qualified personnel to work with AI and blockchain technologies.

Annotation: The progressive generation of anthropogenic wastes that degrade the biological viability of the carriers of the phenomenon of life is postulated. It is noted that the current level of waste recycling is 2 times lower than the threshold of sustainability with a progressive downward trend. The catastrophic situation with the disposal of the progressive volume of anthropogenic waste and attempts to resolve it indicate the failure of institutional functionalism. Therefore, the task is reduced to the management of the utilization of anthropogenic waste in socio-economic systems as carriers of institutional functionalism. In order to solve the problem, anthropogenic waste is defined as multicomponent, heterogeneous and anisotropic systems with physicochemical and biologi- cal chaos. The trend of transition of anthropogenic waste structures to the nanoscale level is revealed, which devalues the efforts to sel ect them. It is shown that the deposition and heat treatment of waste is another “multibillion dead end”, aggravated by the fundamental lack of scientifically substantiated permissible burdens on the phenomenon of life as a whole. Therefore, waste recycling is defined as a criterion for the resistance of the phenomenon of life to endogenous and exogenous disturbances. Recycling is implemented in the “Shapovalov model of nanodestruction”, which was awarded an international award back in 2009: “destruction of waste matter into nano-sized particles and the forming of a marketable product fr om it”. Waste recycling by nanode- struction forms a fundamentally new nature of social self-organization based on closed circulation of matter. Negative feedback is generated, compensating for the growth of waste by the growth of resource potential. The basis for the creation of highly efficient both production facilities and individual devices for recycling waste by nanodestruction is revealed. The tectonic democracy of equality of all in the eye of natural truths formed the basis of a scientific and methodological approach to waste recycling management in socio-economic systems by the circulation of matter. The proposed scientific and methodological approach initiates the resolution of the progressive degradation of the biological consistency of the phenomenon of life at the state level.

Annotation: The article examines the sustainability of natural phenomena, which determines the consistency of the perception of reality. An adequate example of research is the multidimensional and multiparametric socio-economic biosystem (SEB) as a carrier of the phenomenon of life. There is a rapid accumulation of information about all aspects of the multidi- mensional space of the SEB by digitalization. Based on this, the multidimensional space is mathematically formalized by the vector feature space. From this, the geometry of the multidimensional information space of the SEB is formed, which makes it possible to simulate both direct and inverse problems of analysis. The formalization of the geometry of the SEB multidimensional information space is regulated by 3 functionals that reflect socio-political, economic and biological (including medical) aspects in the form of geometric images. Projection of geometric images into spaces of lower dimensions makes it possible to interpolate and/or approximate numerical arrays of images of SEB functionals into an analytical form. The obtained analytical representation of SEB images provides an opportunity for traditional studies of their properties. In the 2-dimensional view (plane), the SEB is represented by canonical polynomials of various degrees. It is shown that the necessary and sufficient condition for the global stability of canonical polynomials is determined according to Hurwitz. It is noted that reducing the number of checks of determinant inequalities is possible by means of the Liénard – Chipart criterion and some other methods. An assessment of the global stability of the natural phenomenon of SEB according to Hurwitz is carried out. The results obtained reveal the potential of anthropogenic manageability (adaptation) of the SEB. The immanent modeling of reality using multidimensional information arrays extends the mathematical task of evaluating polynomial stability to the stability of a set.

Annotation: This article presents a comparative analysis of the global payment system SWIFT and China’s CIPS system, designed for cross-border yuan settlements. The authors examine the historical development, functional capa- bilities, and current status of both systems. Particular attention is given to SWIFT’s advantages (global reach, universality) and its vulnerabilities (dollar dependence, political risks). The study provides a detailed analysis of CIPS’ objectives: reducing reliance on Western financial systems, promoting the yuan as an international currency, and safeguarding against sanctions. The technological features of the Chinese payment system are investigated, including its integrated clearing and settlement functions, adoption of the ISO 20022 standard, and potential integration with the digital yuan. The authors evaluate CIPS’ current limitations (narrow currency focus, smaller participant network) and its development prospects. The conclusion suggests a probable scenario of parallel coexistence, where CIPS will carve out a niche in yuan-denominated and alternative transactions without fully replacing SWIFT in the foreseeable future

Annotation: The article is devoted to the study of the development of telemedicine in the BRICS countries, which account for more than 40% of the world’s population. Significant scientific and practical interest is associated with the global growth of digitalization of healthcare, with the proven effectiveness of remote medical care. Different socio-economic challenges, a variety of regulatory approaches, various technological innovations, the political significance and potential of international cooperation between the BRICS countries make it possible to identify the best medical practices and adapt them to the system. In international cooperation on healthcare develop- ment, BRICS acts as a platform for data exchange and joint projects, making it possible to reduce dependence on Western technologies. The article presents the main achievements, limitations, and prospects for using telemedicine consultations in five key BRICS countries. The study of telemedicine in the BRICS countries is relevant not only for these countries, but also for the entire community, as it allows comparing the effectiveness of different models in similar socio-economic conditions, identifies universal solutions for emerging markets, and promotes the sustainable development of medicine.
