The relevance of the study is determined by the need for economic development of the northern and Arctic territories, the backwardness of which is due to their remoteness, inaccessibility, and harsh climatic conditions. At the same time, the regions of the Far North and territories equivalent to them have significant natural fuel resources, and therefore the importance of their economic development in the context of the growing need for energy resources in the world and national economies is significantly increasing. The aim of the study is to clarify the role and significance of strategic management at the federal, regional, corporate and municipal levels, taking into account priorities for strengthening the sustainability of the northern and Arctic territories and ensuring interconnection between the strategic goals and objectives of the state, business, and municipal community. Large corporations, whose enterprises are located in the northern and Arctic territories, must bear increased social and environmental responsibility for the development of social infrastructure, the preservation of the fragile northern and Arctic nature in the territories of their presence, and consolidate measures to preserve the traditional crafts of the peoples of the Far North and natural biodiversity in their strategic documents. The article proposes the following regional instruments of influence on the activities of oil and gas companies to strengthen the sustainability of the northern and Arctic territories, taking into account the specifics of their development and determining the order of mutual coordination of corporate and state goals and objectives, as well as the local community's interests: an integral indicator of the level of regional influence on the activities of oil and gas companies to strengthen the sustainability of the northern and Arctic territories, taking into account weighing coefficients calculated by the expert method; an algorithm for the development of regional tools for influencing the activities of oil and gas companies, allowing for the systematic implementation of organizational and management measures in the interests of the sustainability of the northern and Arctic territories and the region as a whole; a flowchart of decision-making for the formation of strategic program documents of all levels, taking into account the specifics of the northern and Arctic territories, identifying the most significant and underestimated aspects of regional influence on the activities of oil and gas companies in matters of life support, environmental protection measures and employment of the indigenous population, contributing to the sustainability of the northern and Arctic territories. In the article, the existing theoretical provisions are supplemented by the authors' proposals for the development and inclusion in strategic program documents of state and municipal government bodies of issues related to interaction with oil and gas enterprises in the field of socio-economic development, as well as improvement of the quality of life of indigenous peoples of the Far North in the context of an increased environmental and social responsibility of business.

The paper proposes viewing intralinguistic factors inherent in the source and target languages as strictly given organized systems, being effective means in recreating the original's various stylistic peculiarities in its translated version and in attaining its stylistic equivalence. The detailed analysis of the factual material, represented in the form of parallel textual excerpts borrowed from an American satirical novel and its published translation incorporating stylistically marked lexical units, is carried out on the basis of their resemblance erroneously established by the translator, which proved to be far from the equivalent one. The analyzed examples of translational means and transformations aimed at stylistic adequacy are grouped according to intralinguistic units, as well as a specific stylistic instrument used in the original or in the translation such as combinatorial discrepancy, pun, alliteration, lexical repetition. Apart from purely stylistic aspects, the authors also consider accompanying semantic and specific national features of the original – either erroneously understood and therefore inadequately translated or absent in the translation. All this taken as a whole, and the distortion of the stylistic coloring of the original first and foremost, cast doubt on the plausibility of the described situations and the characters' speech characteristics, inevitably resulting in inadequate translation. In the accompanying commentaries the unsuccessful variants are opposed by the authors' own stylistic equivalents that could have been attained with the help of the translational means and transformations based, among others, on the intralinguistic factors, showing the capacity to solve translational tasks to successfully render the stylistic peculiarities of the original.

A publisher correction to this article was published on 17 April 2019 ; Global dust storms on Mars are rare1,2 but can affect the Martian atmosphere for several months. They can cause changes in atmospheric dynamics and inflation of the atmosphere3, primarily owing to solar heating of the dust3. In turn, changes in atmospheric dynamics can affect the distribution of atmospheric water vapour, with potential implications for the atmospheric photochemistry and climate on Mars4. Recent observations of the water vapour abundance in the Martian atmosphere during dust storm conditions revealed a high-altitude increase in atmospheric water vapour that was more pronounced at high northern latitudes5,6, as well as a decrease in the water column at low latitudes7,8. Here we present concurrent, high-resolution measurements of dust, water and semiheavy water (HDO) at the onset of a global dust storm, obtained by the NOMAD and ACS instruments onboard the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter. We report the vertical distribution of the HDO/H2O ratio (D/H) from the planetary boundary layer up to an altitude of 80 kilometres. Our findings suggest that before the onset of the dust storm, HDO abundances were reduced to levels below detectability at altitudes above 40 kilometres. This decrease in HDO coincided with the presence of water-ice clouds. During the storm, an increase in the abundance of H2O and HDO was observed at altitudes between 40 and 80 kilometres. We propose that these increased abundances may be the result of warmer temperatures during the dust storm causing stronger atmospheric circulation and preventing ice cloud formation, which may confine water vapour to lower altitudes through gravitational fall and subsequent sublimation of ice crystals3. The observed changes in H2O and HDO abundance occurred within a few days during the development of the dust storm, suggesting a fast impact of dust storms on the Martian atmosphere. © 2019, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Limited. ; This project acknowledges funding by the Belgian Science Policy Office (BELSPO), with financial and contractual coordination by the ESA Prodex Office (PEA 4000103401, 4000121493); by the Spanish MICINN through its Plan Nacional and by European funds under grants ESP2015-65064-C2-1-P and ESP2017-87143-R (MINECO/FEDER); by the UK Space Agency through grants ST/R005761/1, ST/P001262/1, ST/R001405/1, ST/S00145X/1, ST/R001367/1, ST/P001572/1 and ST/R001502/1; and the Italian Space Agency through grant 2018-2-HH.0.

A publisher correction to this article was published on 17 April 2019 ; The detection of methane on Mars has been interpreted as indicating that geochemical or biotic activities could persist on Mars today1. A number of different measurements of methane show evidence of transient, locally elevated methane concentrations and seasonal variations in background methane concentrations2–5. These measurements, however, are difficult to reconcile with our current understanding of the chemistry and physics of the Martian atmosphere6,7, which—given methane's lifetime of several centuries—predicts an even, well mixed distribution of methane1,6,8. Here we report highly sensitive measurements of the atmosphere of Mars in an attempt to detect methane, using the ACS and NOMAD instruments onboard the ESA-Roscosmos ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter from April to August 2018. We did not detect any methane over a range of latitudes in both hemispheres, obtaining an upper limit for methane of about 0.05 parts per billion by volume, which is 10 to 100 times lower than previously reported positive detections2,4. We suggest that reconciliation between the present findings and the background methane concentrations found in the Gale crater4 would require an unknown process that can rapidly remove or sequester methane from the lower atmosphere before it spreads globally. © 2019, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Limited. ; ExoMars is the space mission of ESA and Roscosmos.
