The largest thickness of foidolite intrusion in the area of large apatite deposits causes longer and more intensive metasomatic and hydrothermal processes, simplest mineral composition of rocks, simplest chemical composition of rock-forming minerals, highest diversity of secondary minerals and longest list of nanoporous titanosilicates. In order to increase the efficiency of investigations oriented to the development synthesis technologies for new functional materials based on their natural counterparts, the Kola Science Centre, RAS, established the Research Centre for Natural and Synthetic Nano- and Microporous substances (CNM, KSC RAS) in February, 2010. The activity of the Centre is mainly oriented to the development of the geological technique of the targeted search for new minerals, to search and study unknown naturally occurring compounds, to identify their industrially useful properties, to synthesize their analogues, and to develop a production technology for potential functional materials from the wastes of the mining industry on the Kola Peninsula (concerning mainly, Apatit, JSC). Keywords: nanoporous titanosilicates, lomonosovite, murmanite, zorite, chivruaiite, sitinakite, ivanyukite, lintisite, punkaruaivite. SOCIAL AND HUMAN SCIENCES R.I. Tripolski THE HIGHER EDUCATION: TRANSFORMATION PROBLEMS The structure of institutes of the higher education still existing today in Russia has been created for the solution of economic, scientific and cultural development of the USSR. Now it needs a thorough transformation. The principles of such transformation based on the cluster approach are discussed in the paper. "Optimum" and "radical" variants of transformation of higher vocational education institutions of the Murmansk region are suggested. Keywords: transformation, the cluster approach, the Murmansk region, "road map". M.A. Tarakanov THE NORTH AS A GROUP OF CONCEPTIONS WITH DIFFERENT SPATIAL LOCALIZATION The evolution of spatial localization of the conceptions of "the High North" and "the North" is considered. It is shown that each of the conceptions regarding the research goal, the subject and the problem of normative-law regulation presents a group of conceptions with different spatial localization. In this case application of the problem-oriented approach increases the results of the legislative activities, and makes it possible to carry out a qualitative analysis of consequenses of the initiated bills on the northern issues. Keywords: spatial localization, conception groups, problem-oriented approach, normative-law regulation, the High North, the North. A.M. Vasiliev, Y.F. Kuranov SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF COASTAL FISHERIES IN THE MURMANSK REGION The paper states that in order to improve the socio-economic efficiency of the development of fisheries in the European North of Russia to increase coastal demersal and pelagic fish, develop long and purse seine fishing methods. This is connected both with world trends, the development of marine fisheries and the fact that the Oceanic Fisheries cannot act as the main link to increase production of fish products with high added value. The paper stipulates the areas for improvement of the Fisheries Act, the regulations and the coastal fisheries, in order to: • improve the economic efficiency of processing of catches; • redistribute natural rent between production and processing; • improve the supply of high quality with fish products. Keywords: fisheries, socio-economic importance, Barents Sea, coastal fishing problems. V.K. Zhirov, A.A. Shestakov GOOD PROPORTIONS AND AESTHETIC PREFERENCES IN LANDSCAPE-GARDENING DESIGNING The paper discusses the preliminary results of research of attractiveness of proportions. It is found that a person perceives insignificant deviations of the shape of observed entities from some (social) standard as something pleasant. However, large-scale deviations, as a rule, induce a negative emotional reaction. Keywords: shape ratio, preference pattern, choice function, variant choice, level of adaptation. 116
