Abstract
Studying of influence of factors of environmental pollution, including quality of the used water, on the state of health of the population is of interest. The purpose of the real work was assessment of degree of interrelation of biochemical parameters of blood with the index of tension of factors (ITF) (E.I. Burtsevа), reflecting complex assessment of state of environment taking into account influence of population, technogenic disturbances of the environment (the mountain weight taken from an earth subsoil, emissions of contaminants in the atmosphere, dumpings of the polluting sewage) and impurity of the used water. The research of the population of six Areas of Sakha (Yakutia) Republic (n=543) aged from from 18 to 50 years is conducted. The correlation analysis between values of the ITF index and chemicals of reservoirs and also their interrelation with biochemical parameters of blood is carried out. Direct correlation connection of ITF with content in water of sulfates (r=0.974), hardness of water (r=0.874), magnesium (r=0.864), nitrate ions (r=0.666) and the return correlation bonds with iron content (r = - 0.660), lead (r = - 0.562) and copper is established (r = - 0.553). Assessment of interrelation of biochemical parameters with INF revealed direct correlation bonds with the level of glucose (r=0.227), the general cholesterol (r=0.124), atherogenous lipoproteids of the low density lactate dehydrogenase (r=0.152), triglycerides (r=0.132). Significant direct correlation connection of content of copper in reservoirs is established with the level of an alkaline phosphatase (r=0.365), lactate dehydrogenase (r=0.148), ALT (r=0.182) and uric acid (r=0.162). At residents of those areas where high ITF of environmental pollution, substantial increase of level of glucose, general cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides is revealed, confirming failure of mechanisms of adaptation and high risk of cardiovascular diseases and endocrine disturbances.

Abstract
Absract. This article highlights an investigation of algal flora conducted between 2009-2015 in the Tatta River with adjoining lakes, that is the left inflow of the Aldan River. A notable feature of the Tatta River is great water-level changes. This river becomes very shallow and can even dry up in the hot summer. On the other hand, due to ice drift in the second half of May, the Tatta River overflows its banks and floods lakes in its basin. The results of our investigation of the algal flora of the Tatta River and lakes located in its floodplain are given. In total, 419 species and subspecies or varieties were identified from 9 divisions: Chlorophyta - 155, Cyanophyta - 91, Bacillariophyta - 79, Xanthophyta - 52, Euglenophyta - 30, Chrysophyta - 7, Dinophyta - 4 species, Raphidophyta - 1. Algal flora of the Tatta River contained 346 species and subspecies or varieties, much higher species-richness than in its floodplain lakes - 265. Green algae were found to be most diversity and abundant, had cells count to 270, 000 cells/L in the Tatta River, and to 2.66 × 106 cells/L were recorded from small tributaries of the river. The Sørensen coefficient of similarity was high value of 0,65 in the Tatta River and in its floodplain lakes. The algal community composition was dominated by green algae however the quantitative indicators were different between the algal flora of river and lakes. The species abundance exhibited a more pronounced for Chlorophyta and Bacillariophyta (to 270,000 cells/L) in the river, and Cyanophyta (to 196,1 × 106 cells/L) was dominant in lakes, which cause blooms covering water, such species as Aphanizomenon flos-aquae and Microcystis aeruginosa, they inhibit the growth of other algal groups. Across all lakes, algal species were reffered to as ‘saprobity indicators’ that were related to β-α-mesosaprobes, the index of saprobity was 1.85. We used the biological analysis, based on the chemical parameters of water. It follows that lakes can be considered as ‘eutrophic’ and ‘highly eutrophic’, and water should be assessed as ‘medium polluted’. In this research has found a new species of blue-green algae: Mychonastes jurisii (Hindák) Krienitz, C.Bock, Dadheech & Proschold and Anabaena Jonssonnii B.-Peters in floodplain lakes (the Tatta River) of algal flora in Yakutia.

Abstract
The Arctic flora exposition was created to show the most characteristic species of Arctic plants that are common in the USSR within the Arctic floristic region. M.V. Kultiasov was the founder of the unique collection. The staff of MBG RAS actively participated in the creation of the exposition for several decades; a great experience has been accumulated in the cultivation of Arctic plants. The living Arctic plants collection has not been preserved for now, but there is a card file in the Natural Flora Laboratory, containing important information for introductors. The research purpose is to summarize the experience of many years of plant introduction on the Arctic flora exposition throughout its existence (1948-2003). To achieve it, the following tasks have been set: analysis of incoming and outgoing samples; assessment of the duration of the existence of samples in culture; analysis of Arctic plants collection; assessment of the introduction resistance of Arctic plants. The research object is introduced species of the Russian Arctic natural flora. Seeds and living plants collected in natural habitats were the starting material for their cultivation; rarely seeds were obtained through Seed-Exchange. The main places where the material was collected were in the Murmansk region. The plants names are given according to the report of S. K. Cherepanov. The introduction resistance assessment of Arctic plants was carried out according to the scale proposed by N. V. Trulevich. Phenological observations were made by the standard method for botanical gardens. Data on each species are given in the table form and include plants life form, the development cycle completeness, the reproduction method, the duration of sample existence and the species resistance in culture. The difference in climatic conditions for the plants growth in situ and ex situ is shown using average annual air temperature and average annual precipitation. A total of 146 arctic species samples were tested. The maximum sample loss after primary introduction tests was noted in 1957. About 40% of the samples were grown up to 5 years, so the Arctic plants collection must be constantly replenished in the conditions of the MBG RAS. The species composition of the Arctic flora exposition consisted of 95 species, belonging to 32 families and 74 generas. Protected plants of the Russian Federation: Arnica fennoscandica, Cotoneaster cinnabarinus, Helianthemum arcticum, Papaver lapponicum and Rhodiola rosea were grown in the collection. Unlike the Arctic flora, Ericaceae and Saxifragaceae are included in the number of the introduction collection leading families as particularly attractive for the introduction. Concerning life forms, perennial herbaceous plants were dominated (70%), woody plants accounted for 27%, and the remaining 3% were herbaceous annual-biannual. It is established that 48 species flowered and fruited on the Arctic flora exposition. 37 taxons did not bear fruit, 24 of them were vegetated without flowering. Irregular fruiting (sporulation) was noted in 8, irregular flowering was noted in 3 species. 2 highly resistant, 44 resistant, 36 weakly resistant and 14 unstable species were found when assessing the introduction resistance. The largest number of resistant species in the collection determines the introduction experience of Arctic plants as successful.46 Arctic plants species are perspective for cultivation in the Moscow climate conditions. Since 2017 the work for reconstruction of Arctic plants collection has begun.

Abstract
In the article, tk single tensor operator of k rank is formed in j-space from the creation and annihilation operators of electrons in jm states. The given operator represents a complete system of (2j+1) operators in j-space. Its submatrix element is equal to δ - Kronecker symbol. Tk operator can be formed from this single tensor operator and act on all electrons of the considered system (nuclei, atoms). The submatrix element of Tk operator is expressed in terms of submatrix elements of the creation and annihilation operators of electrons or through coefficients of fractional parentage with one detached electron. The creation and annihilation operators of electrons in j-space can be represented as a single operator of a change in the number of electrons in two spaces, which are quasi-spin and of angular momentum. This makes it possible to obtain simpler formulas for calculating the submatrix elements of Tk operator in the cases of one jN-subshell of equivalent electrons that do not contain summation over possible states of intermediate multielectron systems. Simple algebraic expressions have been obtained for the submatrix element of T0 and T1 operators for any number of electrons. Recurrence relations have been achieved for the submatrix elements of Tk operator (k takes any value equal to or less than (2j + 1)) for any number of electrons in the subshells . The calculated values of the submatrix elements of Tk operators for are given in the ables.

Abstract
The relevance of the topic is determined by the poor research of paremic units prescriptive potential in general and the lack of the experimental explication of Buryat paremias prescriptive potential in particular. Thus, the research goal is to determine experimentally the (in)understanding degree of Buryat paremias meaning of by native speakers and to identify the main factors affecting the degree of paremias prescription explication. The goal set the following tasks: to develop a three-step questionnaire on the material of the most popular Buryat paremic units; to conduct a survey of the Buryat speakers belonging to two age groups (younger and older than 30 years); to conduct a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the (in)understanding degree of the Buryat paremias prescriptive potential by age criterion; to determine the main factors affecting the degree of prescription explication in paremias; to determine the role of a phraseological image in the understanding the original paremic meaning. The main research method is the experiment, related ones - the questionnaire, the survey, the semantic differential (semantic scaling method), the qualitative-quantitative analysis. The author comes to the conclusion that the (in)understanding degree of the paremias prescriptive potential varies from one age group to another. The respondents under 30 have significant difficulties in decoding the prescription of most of the paremias, which indicates a functional weakening of their native language. The main factors hindering the understanding of the prescriptive meaning are the phraseological image and other paremic components, an absence of a direct connection between the image category / type and the described situation, the low level of extralinguistic knowledge and cultural background, including the ideas about an ethnic culture’s life and living conditions. The research results can serve as a theoretical and practical material in linguistics.

Abstract
Causativity is an universal functional-semantic category, the study of which remains an actual problem in linguistics. Causative verbs as a core category are a significant layer of the verbal lexicon of any language that finds a specific expression at different levels of the linguistic system. In Buryat linguistics, many questions of causation are still in the stage of study and development, so the urgency of the research is also due to the insufficient knowledge of the problem. The main purpose of this article is to analyze the morphological means of formation of causative verbs in the Buryat language. The work shows that causation is one of the most productive derivations, since causative derivatives are formed from virtually any verb. A number of suffixes participate in the formation of causative verbs, among them the suffix -uul takes the dominant position in the production of causative verbs, and the suffixes -ha, -ga, -haa, -gaa are the most unproductive. The conditions for attaching certain causative affixes are described in detail. The article states that the suffix -uul, -lga can participate in the formation of verbs of volitional influence. In the Buryat language, the variability of causative suffixes is also noted, in which two variants of the affix can be attached to the same verb stem. In this case, between the pairs of causative verbs, there are some differences in semantics. In the article, constructions are distinguished in which a verb with a causative affix may not contain a causative value, that means the causative affix appears in non-canonical use, as a passive. It is also shown that causative suffixes can easily attach to almost all other verbal markers: in particular, to markers of reciprocal, sociative and reflexive. The article has noted that in these conditions the significance of social causation in the Buryat language is realized. In this case the -uul suffix is more productive.

Abstract
The article is devoted to the representation of the Arctic territories’ development, as well as the concept of the «Arctic» in Russian, American, Canadian and Norwegian mass media. These states are known as the leading Arctic players, so their information policy regarding the Arctic territories development is of scientific interest. The article covers both the historical and legal aspects of the Arctic development, where the origins of the current geopolitical situation are indicated, and the specifics of the Arctic presentation in the national media of Russia, the USA, Canada and Norway. As the result of the study, general trends in international Arctic media discourse have been stated: a high frequency of publications, coverage of the Arctic exploration issue through informational and analytical genres, as well as the internationalization of the Arctic and the expert journalists’ approach to the Arctic issue. Among the national tendencies, the following can be noted: in Russian media discourse this is the affirmation of Russian national interests in the context of the Arctic development and resource development. In the USA mass media are ecology in the Arctic and the expediency of oil production there. In Canada these trends are national development in the north, international cooperation, resource development, sovereignty protection, and social aspects of the indigenous people. In Norway these trends are two polar issues: cooperation and mutual respect and wariness regarding Russia's foreign policy. The article analyzes the dynamics of the Arctic media discourse, which grew in 2007 due to the installation of the Russian flag at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean. This event not only caused a resonance in the media environment and influenced the quantitative growth of publications, but also affected the thematic content and the formation of the image of Russia as a special Arctic player.

Abstract
The work is dedicated to examination of tactic-strategical equal medics` speech behavior in the acts of their communicative interaction with colleagues within the framework of American medical discourse on the material on the serial “Scrubs” 7th season. The language used in medical spheres and wider, communication in professional contexts belong to actual topics of modern linguistics, thus the research hasn`t lost its topicality. Following existing tradition, medical discourse is regarded as institutional one where speakers implement their different social roles and have for definite objects. As doctor is a key figure of medical communication, his strategies and tactics are determinative for this type of institutional discourse with such basic features as dialogics, professionalism, terminology, scientific character, precision, ethics and special behavior. It is exemplified that dialogue strategy, educational strategy and emotional-adjusting strategy are basic for medical communication. Linguistic means of these strategies realization are being summarized in the research. Hierarchy of the strategies, tactics and communicative processes are being built. The object of the research is medical discourse. The subject is peculiarities of medical work organization from the point of view of the strategies and tactics of doctor`s speech behavior, their verbalization in the serial “Scrubs” 7th season. The aim of the given work is to define the peculiarities of equal communication in medical discourse. This very aim presupposes solving of such tasks as giving definition of the term “speech strategy of equal communication in medical discourse”, revealing and analyzing strategies and tactics of medical discourse, ways of their realization in the film, extraction of methacommunicative, directive, cognitive and descriptive speech actions which make the system of communicative courses of equal communication participants. Material of investigation - 35 transcripts of 11 series episodes of American serial “Scrubs” 7th season more than 250 minutes of duration the choice of which is governed by belonging to the genre of medical drama depicting professional medical activity, everyday life of doctors and their relationships.

Abstract
This article is devoted to the problem of studying color terms in a text. Color symbolism in linguistic science is presented in close relationship with the ethnocultural component, reflecting the cultural-specific elements of the picture of the world. The purpose of this study is to identify the symbolic values of the colorative “white” on the example of the poetry of two different cultures. In poems of the Japanese and Yakut poets, the colorative “white” is used not only to express the author’s style of poets, but is also a reflection of the ethnopsychological and cultural characteristics of the people, which determined the basic research methods as component, comparative and contextual. Because of the research, the semantic multiplicity of the symbolism of the “white” coloratura is revealed; intercultural differences are revealed in relation to phenomena and events in life. In poems by the Japanese poet Takamura Kotaro, the “white” colorative is most often found in a universal sense when describing winter and cold. The cultural-specific component in the symbolism of this colorative is revealed not only in the meaning “white from snow, from frost”, but acquires additional meanings “sadness”, “wilt”, “death”. Obviously, the functioning of the colorative “white” is based on the poet on traditional Japanese symbolism, where white is the color of mourning. Takamuro Kotaro's poetry does not realize such symbolic meanings of the “white” colorative inherent in Japanese culture as “light”, “pure”, which, apparently, can be explained by the individual style of the poet having a tragic tonality. In the poems of Ivan Gogolev, the colorative “white” expresses the traditional worldview of the Yakuts: in the meaning of “sacred”, it is used with the names of deities, with the words “sun” and “sky”; In the meaning “beautiful”, “pure”, “light” is used when describing women. An interesting is the combination of traditional color symbols with the color symbols of a certain historical period. Thus, in the poet’s civil lyricism, the colorative “white” is used in the sense of “enemy”, “enemy”, which reflects the whole literary period of that time. Thus, it can be argued that colorative in artistic texts are units, the meaning of which is reduced to not only the dictionary definition, but also is determined by cultural, ethnic, geographical and historical, and even temporary factors.

Abstract
The relevance of the subject is caused by growing interest in studying the history of literature and the importance of works devoted to collecting and organizing materials on language, ethnography and folklore. The article reviews the works of Vuk Karadžić (1787-1864), the reformer of the Serbian language, and Alexei Kulakovsky (1877-1926), the founder of the Yakut literature. The early editions of their works, reviews, and articles about their heritage in general from different years served as source materials. The main of them are works of Russian Slavists A. Pypin, P. Kulakovsky, I. Sreznevsky; modern researchers B. Suvaydzhich, V. Gusev, I. Churkina, Z. Milosevic, A. Mirovich and others - on Vuk Karadžić’s heritage. The sources for interpreting questions on Alexey Kulakovsky’s scientific works are archive materials, including the autograph of the message manuscript "To the Yakut intellectuals", early editions, including V. Troshchansky's work published 1902, and others. The aim of the study was to reveal the significance of the creative endeavours of the two prominent figures for the preservation of their first languages. The historical-comparative and culture-studying methods were selected as the methodological basis of the analysis. The study of the lives and activities of the both writers revealed some typological similarities in the main parameters of their heritage, which reflects the debatable issues of the history of local languages. The main findings emphasize the intransient importance of the intellectual heritage of the classical writers of the Serbian and Yakut literature, who sought to safeguard the ancestral linguistic traditions as part of the history and culture of their peoples. The parallels of their creative search are traced in collecting and systematization of considerable volume of folklore and ethnographic materials, basic principles of lexicography aimed at dictionaries making. They immortalized native traditions in the forms of national heritage which has an enduring value. Their work, devoted to future generations, was intended to open new directions in the tradition.
