The authors examine the specific features of the digital environment to analyze contemporary approaches to the system of instruments of studying illegal actions in cyberspace. They state that law enforcement bodies should adapt key characteristics of the digital environment to the accomplishment of investigation tasks. The authors analyze the possibilities offered by digital profiling and modeling of the digital profile (portrait) of an unidentified criminal through mathematical methods of modeling and prediction in investigating and solving serial crimes, including cybercrimes. An extensive review of Russian and foreign publications is used to study the evolution of scientific ideas regarding the profiling method, which is the basis for the digital profiling of the behavioral model of an unidentified criminal in the digital environment. It is stated that none of the branches of criminal law, including criminology and criminalistics, could alone solve the interdisciplinary problem of the investigation and detection of crimes in the digital environment. The authors prove that it is necessary to integrate the knowledge of these branches and to conduct interdisciplinary research involving experts, i.e. to duly streamline the organization of those activities that together make up the investigation and detection of crimes. Based on the content of the concept «modus operandi», which lies at the heart of building an abstract model of criminal behavior, they conclude that it could be used to investigate and solve crimes in the digital environment and determine the specific features of the content of its structural elements. The comparative analysis of the contents of the key stages of profiling is used to prove the expediency of employing the whole range of logical and mathematical methods of analysis to process and analyze criminological information, which leads to the necessity of both critically reviewing them and finding ways to go beyond the traditional approaches. The authors describe the essence of the mathematical extrapolation method, which is most commonly used in criminology for the quantitative analysis of knowledge regarding objects, phenomena, processes, as well as the possibility of using it in digital profiling. As a result of this research based on the systemic approach, the authors state the objective character of links between the traditional and the digital profiling, point out the existing links and regularities, which allow them to reduce the essence of the examined phenomena to building a model through the recreation, in the process of investigation, of the mental trace pattern and then using it to find the guilty person.

The strategic development of retail is taking place in a fiercely competitive environment. In the context of the coronavirus pandemic and the weakening of the ruble, the development of the strategy has become particularly important for retailers. The apparel market has a number of specific features that significantly affect the formation of the development strategy. One of the most important directions in achieving competitive stability is to optimize logistics costs through the development of the distribution network. The article presents the results of a study of the competitive position of the apparel brand "MOHITO". The study proved the logistics strategy of the retailer in Siberia and the Far East as well-founded. This strategy is based on the organization of a distribution centre in Irkutsk which leads to reorganization of the supply chain of the LPP holding including the retailer "MOHITO". We also provided supporting rationale of the capacity of the potential market of the retailer in Siberia and the Far East in the case of the opening of a reference distribution centre in Irkutsk.

Чита, Российская Федерация Информация о статье Дата поступления 12 апреля 2019 г. Дата принятия к печати 22 мая 2019 г. Дата онлайн-размещения 27 июня 2019 г. Ключевые слова Байкальский регион; Иркутская область; Республика Бурятия; Забайкальский край; Китайская Народная Республика; внешняя торговля; экспорт; импорт; международное сотрудничество Аннотация В настоящее время российско-китайское торгово-экономическое сотрудничество имеет положительную динамику развития. В 2018 г. внешнеторговый оборот между Россией и Китаем составил 108,2 млрд дол. Вместе с тем в российско-китайской торговле, несмотря на достигнутые успехи, сохраняется ряд серьезных проблем, основные из которых -незначительная доля России во внешнеторговом обороте Китая (около 2 %) и сырьевая направленность российского экспорта в Китай (доля минеральных продуктов в экспорте -76 %). Основа товарной структуры российско-китайской торговли формируется на региональном уровне. В настоящее время Китай выступает основным внешнеторговым партнером Байкальского региона, доля которого в общем объеме российско-китайской внешней торговли составляет 5,5 % (в экспорте -8,9 %, в импорте -1,9 %). Байкальский регион является экспортно ориентированным. В товарной структуре экспорта в Китай преобладают сырьевые группы товаров, на долю которых приходится более 90 % экспорта. В современных условиях и с учетом прогнозов развития мировой экономики особое значение для регионов Сибири и Дальнего Востока приобретает поиск направлений и инструментов модернизации экономики и перехода к инновационному развитию. Дальнейшее развитие двухстороннего сотрудничества должно быть основано на обеспечении национальных интересов и экономической безопасности России, в связи с чем перспективным направлением расширения торгово-экономического сотрудничества Байкальского региона с Китаем представляется увеличение глубины переработки сырьевых ресурсов и повышение объема экспорта готовой продукции.
