Abstract
Standardizing the admission of pollutants into the environment, as a rule, are based on the results of their isolated action in optimal conditions for organisms. This method neglect the change in toxic effect when changing environmental factors. Lead include to the group of priority pollutants that are particularly toxic. The availability of anionic surfactants in water increases the toxicity of heavy metals. Thus, the study of the complex effect of toxicants is of particular relevance. One of the indicators of the functional condition and strength of stress is the content of glycogen in the tissues of the body, because the availability of a spare substance has a significant effect on the processes of energy and plastic metabolism. In this connection, the aim of the study was to study the effect of SDS and Pb2+ on the glycogen content in the tissues of bivalve molluscs Unio pictorum at different temperatures. Therefore, it was necessary to solve a series of problems: to determine the content of glycogen in mollusk tissues at low and normal temperatures and the effect of SDS and Pb2+ in different concentrations; to assess the effect of toxicants on the glycogen content in the tissues of molluscs. The object of the study was the mollusks Unio pictorum. They were adjust to normal (18 оC) and low temperatures (6 оC), and then exposed for 21 days under the action of SDS and Pb2+ in different concentrations. Determination of glycogen content was carried out using an anthrone reagent on 1, 10, 21 days of the experiment. The article presents data on the content of glycogen in the tissues of the body of molluscs and its change in the isolated and combined action of lead ions and sodium dodecyl sulfate at normal and low temperatures. It is shown that the action of toxicants may reduce the content of glycogen on the first day, in relation to the control version of the experiment and increase its content on 10 and 21 days of exposure. The effect of temperature reduction leads to a multidirectional change in the amount of glycogen. Such changes in the level of glycogen during the chronic experiment, probably due to the restructuring of metabolic processes and energy due to disruption of the main metabolic pathways and changes in the rate of reactions in the body of molluscs.

Abstract
The study results in the number changes of gray voles in the thermokarst alases with crops of long-term grasses and in the alases with natural vegetation located in the North - Eastern part of the Leno-Amginsky interfluve are presented. On the upper hydrothermal zone of the alas with insufficient moisture and in the middle zone with optimal moisture among mouse-like rodents, the dry-loving species - microtus gregalis Pallas (1778) dominate, and we observe the domination of the moisture-loving species - microtus oeconomus Pallas in the lower zone with excessive moisture (1778). In order to improve the forage base of agricultural animals in the alases, perennial grasses of long-term usage are sown. Plowing of the alas meadows on the upper zone with settled vegetation and in the middle zone with mixed grass and grass vegetation leads to sharp changes in the habitat of microtus gregalis. Burrows and nests of rodents and their fodder base are destroyed as a result of plowing. Animals are forced to make long journeys in search of food, shelters, becoming victims of terrestrial and feathered predators. Excessive moistening of the lower hydrothermal zone of the alas with sedge-marsh vegetation does not allow such works to be carried out, as a result of which the favorite habitats of microtus oeconomus remain untouched by anthropogenic disturbances. The conducted reclamation works: irrigation of the alas meadows, watering of residual lakes with the help of pump stations and application of nitrogen fertilizers, in general, improve the condition of crops of perennial grasses in the upper and middle zones of the alas. The productivity of sedge-marsh vegetation also increases in the lower hydrothermal zone of the alas. The feeding and protective conditions of gray voles improve with the development of crops on perennial grasses. The number of microtus gregalis and microtus oeconomus spikes. In subsequent periods, the yield of perennial herbaceous plants directly depends on the amount of summer precipitation. This affects the state of the voles’ number. Thus, with abundant summer precipitation, the biomass of forage plants increases, which has a beneficial effect on the habitat of dry-loving species - microtus gregalis. At the same time, annual excess summer rainfall does not affect the number of moisture-loving species - microtus oeconomus. Only successive wet years lead to a widespread rise in the number of this vole. During this period, the rhythm of the movement of the gray voles number in the studied alases depends on the biomass and nutritional value of forage grasses, as well as on the alases with natural vegetation.

Abstract
In the arid conditions of Yakutia, the growth and development of many plants are influenced by precipitation and air temperature. The distribution of precipitation by months and seasons of the year has a great influence. With a lack of moisture and high temperature at the beginning and middle of summer, the soil is strongly dried up, and the development of plants is delayed, which leads to a decrease in some biologically active substances and yield. Therefore, the study of the influence of meteorological factors on the accumulation of biologically active substances in cryolithozone conditions is relevant. This article presents the results of a study on the accumulation of antioxidants such as vitamins A, E, C, catechins and anthocyanins in berries of ordinary blueberry (Vaccinium uliginosum) depending on the hydrothermal moisture ratio of growing conditions in Central and Western Yakutia. Blueberry berries were harvested for analysis in the phase of full maturity, when these berries accumulated the most nutrients. Our studies have found that the accumulation of antioxidants in blueberry berries depends on the hydrothermal coefficient (SCC) over the growing season May, June, July. The climate of Central Yakutia differs from the West by a small amount of precipitation and high voltage of solar radiation. Such changes in weather conditions had significant changes in the accumulation of antioxidants in blueberry berries. During the study period, the highest indication of the SCC for growing blueberries is the Mirny district for 2018. These areas in the ascending order of the SCC formed the following row: Yakutsk (0.53) - Namsky (0.66) - Khangalassky (0.66) - Suntarsky (1.24) - Vilyuisky (1.29) - Mirnyi (1.85). With the increase in SCC in blueberries, the content of antioxidants increases. Thus, in 2018, comparative data showed that in the Mirny district, where the optimum temperature and heavy precipitation contributed to an increase in the content of certain antioxidants by 47.05% more compared to the city of Yakutsk.

Abstract
The article considers the relativistic matrix elements of the energy operator of the electrostatic interaction of N equivalent electrons located in the subshell jN. Expressions for these matrix elements are obtained using the method of irreducible tensor operators and fractional parentage of coefficients. The obtained formulas are determined through coefficients of fractional parentage and are valid for any values of the quantum number of the j moment and any number N of electrons in the subshell. A subshell can be filled both partially and almost. The angular coefficients of matrix elements can be expressed in terms of submatrix elements of unit two-electron tensor operators expressed by electron creation and annihilation operators and the formation of a complete system of operators in j-space. Operator ranks can take j+1/2 even values ranging from 0 to 2j-1. The obtained general formulas valid for any j and N in particular cases take a particularly simple form. Different recurrence relations for matrix elements are obtained. Using the Casimir operators of the unitary U(2j + 1) and symplectic Sp(2j + 1) groups allows us to further simplify the expressions for the matrix elements and to obtain different recurrence relations for the matrix elements.

Abstract
Long-distance trunk pipelines in permafrost areas are subject to various exogenous processes. The pipeline, especially in mountainous areas, crosses the water barrier, which in winter is covered with ice. The interaction of pipelines with ice is not well researched. The purpose of this work is the numerical simulation of the heat and moisture conditions of the soil base of the gas pipeline during the formation of ice. We present a mathematical model of heat and moisture transfer taking into account the actual process of freezing and thawing of the pore solution of soil in the temperature spectrum. The numerical experiment was performed using the recovered heat flow of the icy valley by the method of solving boundary inverse problems of heat conduction. As a result of a numerical experiment, we established that the formation of ice occurs in the second half of winter and has a warming effect. In the first half of the summer period, there is intense thawing of ice and the dynamics of the depth of seasonal thawing comes with some delay, but at the beginning of the winter period, it is restored similarly to regular soil. Suprapermafrost groundwater increases the average annual temperature of the soil around the pipeline and has a warming effect. In this case, the gas pipeline, which is located across the flow, blocking the movement of groundwater, changes the process of the formation of a frozen mass in the soil. Thus, in the summer period, the process of thawing on an icy glade comes with some delay, and at the end of the summer period, the thawing depth coincides with regular soil. The permafrost water acts as a warming agent, thereby raising the average annual temperature of the soil around the pipeline.

Abstract
The relevance of the study of the poetics of the novel is determined by the new literary tasks that today face literary criticism that interprets the artistic text of works that have received significant literary awards. In addition, Ulitskaya’s novel “Incident of Kukotsky” continues to be a difficult-to-read work requiring professional commentary.The purpose of the article is not only to provide an analytical overview of existing works, but also to develop a strategic position in the new reading of the classics of the twentieth century. At the same time, the theoretical basis of the analysis is the poetics of a literary text, the features of which are examined through the categories of idea, plot, figurative system, and problematics. To achieve the final conclusions, three tasks are solved: 1) to consider the historical context of the novel’s plan; 2) trace the life of the main character and characters against the background of Russia's fate in a crucial period, 3) evaluate the writer's artistic discoveries in connection with the traditions of the Russian classics and the process of forming the metatext of the new prose. In the creative history of the novel “Incident of Kukotsky”, Ulitskaya’s work on fiction text is clearly visible. Particular attention is drawn to the important stage of the author's rethinking of time and space in the poetics of the novel. It becomes clear intention in the logic of combining various historical periods, characters representing different ethnic and social groups whose life takes place in different geographic zones. The article significantly expands the comparative background, when Ulitskaya’s novel legitimately corresponds to the works of the 70s - V. D. Dudintsev “White clothes”, A. N. Rybakov “Children of the Arbat”. The genre tradition of the family novel is based on the biography of four generations of the Kukotsky family. The distinctive content of this article is an attempt to connect Ulitskaya's artistic search with the searches of young writers A. V. Ilichevsky and A. V. Gelasimov, representing the new prose of Russia. The findings of this study fit perfectly into the theoretical strategy of literary criticism of the turn of the century to consider the successive ties of Russian classical and modern literature, explore the problem of creative individuality and the transformation of the genre nature of the Russian novel. In practical terms, this material can be used in interactive courses on the history of Russian literature of the XX-XXI centuries.

Abstract
The thematic justification of the research lies in the fact that the traditional (national) food of the Yakuts as part of a unique ethnic culture has not been sufficiently studied from the point of view of linguistics. In order to explicate the substantial signs of the lexical-semantic group «Food», the dialect vocabulary of the Yakut language was used, which is a marker for identifying the commonality and specifics of the Yakut traditional cuisine in the system of ethnic food names of Turkic-speaking peoples. The goal of research is to represent a fragment of the linguistic view of the Yakut world based on a comparison of the Yakut and Tuvinian food names. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were set: to sample dialect names of food (dishes, products) from lexicographical, ethnographic sources; to define the basic definitions; to make lexical-semantic classification; to identify common and specific features; to attract additional illustrative materials (for example, phraseological units) for linguistic and culturological illustration; to make conclusions and outline the prospects for the research. In the course of research, the authors used traditional methods of linguistics - definitional, contrastive analysis - necessary for such studies. A study of the semantics and systematization of the traditional food of the Yakuts and Tuvinians showed: firstly, mainly the names of dairy dishes (products) have a common semantics, which is a consequence of the unified system of traditional farming (cattle breeding); secondly, the semantic identities of Mongolian origin represent the once existed linguistic view of the world, which is associated with close and long-term cultural contacts of two peoples; thirdly, the specific features of the national cuisine of both ethnic groups are due to the environment, the development of new spaces. A comparative study of this group of vocabulary in the context of linguistic culturology has great prospects in the sense that the study of national dishes (products) can be a catalyst for the further development of the traditional economy, and also enriching the general vocabulary of the national languages of the Russian Federation in line with the self-identification of peoples.

Abstract
The research is devoted to Archpriest F. A. Stukov is an outstanding representative of the pre-revolutionary Yakut intelligentsia, a graduate of the Kazan Theological Academy, a master of Theology, the rector of the Yakut Theological Seminary, the editor of the “Yakut Diocesan Gazette”, a teacher, journalist and spiritual writer. The article contains an essay on his life and work. The relevance of research is caused by the lack of study of the creative heritage of Stukov himself and the entire Yakut orthodox clergy and their contribution to the development of national science, culture and language. The written heritage of Stukov includes compositions of different genres: theological works, periodicals, sermons, memoirs and travel notes. His works have value not only as historical sources but also as monuments of non-fiction of Yakutia, the study therefore incorporate methods of historical, literary and bibliographical analysis. The article publishes unknown biographical information about Stukov sourced from the archives of the Kazan Theological Academy, Yakut spiritual consistory and Seminary. The main content of the article are the annotated review of the author's compositions, published in “The Orthodox Interlocutor”, “Yakut Diocesan Gazette”, and the review of separate editions of his books published in Kazan, St. Petersburg and Yakutsk. Particular attention is paid to work related to the history of Yakutia: memories about Bishop Jacob (Domsky), a travel essay “Trip to the Leper Colony”, the publication of correspondence between Bishop Dionysiy (Khitrov) and Professor of the Kazan Academy Ilminsky about Yakut translations, etc. The article reveals historical and literary significance of these works. The role of Stukov as editor of the “Yakut Diocesan Gazette”, the first official periodical in Yakutia, is considered. Stukov's creativity is studied within the framework of the preparation “The Biobibliographic Dictionary of Orthodox Spiritual Writers of Eastern Siberia by XIX-of the beginning of the 20th century”. This article is an expanded version of the vocabulary essay about Stukov. Prospects of research are modern reprinting of works of the author and the publication of a collection of his compositions.

Abstract
Being one of the most significant elements of the people’s tangible culture, nutrition represents quite a large interest in terms of studying the various forms of human adaptation to existing circumstances, human interaction with nature and defining the importance of naming dairy, meat and other types of products in the non-tangible culture of an ethnic group. Themainpurposeof the given research is to single out the “sacred” food components such as those not only forming the tangible culture of the ethnic group under study, but also those which serve as sign-representations of national and cultural information sources. Thisresearchpaperattemptstogivea description of linguistic phenomena though the outlook of specific national components represented in them; this predetermines the understanding of the cultural component in the analyzed cultural and linguistic environment. In order to achieve the goal of the research conducted as a topic of language and culture, the following scientific methods were used: context analysis, descriptive method, ethno-linguistic interpretation. Thestudyhasshown that being a variety of regular or simple food, “sacred” food can serve as a tool for a range of rituals and customs, while it attains a large scope of culturally important meanings, i.e., in this particular case, there is a mechanism of transforming the importance of regular food into a culturally marked form of nutrition. Accordingtothegatheredmaterial, in the Yakut traditional culture kumys, among all the other dairy products, has the status of a ritual drink. Apart from kumys, butter also has a wide range of cultural statuses, for instance, it is added into kumys as a supplement. Again, kumys used to be an ordinary type of food in the past. A special role is given to adding butter into kumys, i.e., changes in the ingredients are being made intentionally in order for this drink to acquire a festive and ritual status. Another area of great scientific interest is the motif of changing the communicative circumstances and means of dairy food consumption. In this particular case, it is essentially important to describe the situation in which this specific food is consumed. Special conditions predetermine the communication process achievement among its participants. Meanwhile, certain vessels used in the process also perform a specific semantic function. They serve not only as a compulsory element of the ritual but also define the cultural ethic code in a particular context. Thus, the ritual and nominative representation of dairy products is achieved through their transition to a new status. Inthisparticularcase, it involves the technique of preparing such meals as well as a transition to new communicative conditions and methods of consuming such food.

Abstract
The languages of the world can be classified according to their default core argument order: SVO, SOV, VSO, VOS, OVS or OSV. The choice between those combinations is based on pragmatic factors, which may differ between languages, including the Chukchi language. Thе relevance of this research resides in that some aspect of the Chukchi language have been well researched (such as morphology and phonology), but questions of discourse analysis less so, e.g. the relationship between word order and focus on topic or comment. Thegoalofthepresentarticleistodefinethatrelationship. The research was conducted using functional-typological methods on a corpus of Chukchi folk tales. The results lead us to the following conclusions. In the Chukchi language core argument order alternates between SOV and SVO, but it can be said that SOV is the default order. Often the S or O arguments are elided, since the verb bears suffixes marking the person and number ofthe subject and object (SV, OV), but they can be used for discourse purposes. Since the known information (topic) usually goes before the new information (comment), the new information is highly marked whenever it goes before the known information. The most likelyconstituentto fulfil the role of topic in the clause is the subject. And so it can be posited that (S)OVis the default order, with elided argument (for being known) and no particular focus. In the case of order SOV the focus is on the topic, which is why the subject cannot be elided, e.g. at the beginning of an episode in the story or for purposes of participant switch or contrast. In the case of order SVO the author introduces a new participantin the comment position, which becomes the focus.

Abstract
The article explores the myth of the water / river (or other water sources) in the works of D. Kainchin and K. Telesov in the context of Altai literature. As an example, such works of Altai writers as the story “Old yarattan” (“From the Other Coast”) and the stories “Kӧzibiste Kӧk-Kaya” (“The Blue-Rock is in our eyes”), “Talkan” and “Ekulep Dyurgen Bir Dyurum" ("One Life, Lived Together") by D. Kainchin and the novel "Kadynјaskyda" ("The Katun in Spring") by K. Telesov. The work reveals the authors' attitudes to the problems of the coexistence of humanity and nature through the mythological images included in the artistic texts. In the introduction, the marker of water space, as the designation of its territory, is presented in the lyric poems of Altai poets. In the writers' prose works - the water marker is considered as the sacral center of the Universe. As a reflection of the national identity, the specifics of the culture and ethnic characteristics of the Altai people, the folklore-mythological and individual author's symbolism are considered. Through the mythology of water, the comprehensive paradigm of the mythopoetic image of Kadyn-talai (The Katun-Sea) is revealed. In order to identify the function of water as a purification / ablution, Altai folklore and mythology were used. In particular, for example, fragments of washing the bogatyr girl from the heroic epic “Ochy-Bala” (A. G. Kalkin) in the milky sea were investigated. The mythopoetic side of the researched works of D. Kainchin clearly represents the archetypal nature of the presented images and motifs, enriching the plot with an ethno-psychological interpretation. The Katun River in the story of D. Kainchin is similar to the mystical axis of the earth, the world tree, the world mountain and it is represented, like in many nations, in the female image - with all the contradictions: the ability to give birth and take life (the dual nature of the river is noted). For Altai literature, the revelation in D. Kainchin's prose of the motives of the “restless soul”, “suffering” and “freedom” of people, whose life is taken by the river, is presented as a concept of dual peace. In the novel by K. Telesov, the image of the Katun is represented metaphorically and personifies the turbulent period of the Altai’s historical path - the construction of socialism.The Katun as a symbol of national life, is associated with the high water of the spring river. In the works of these authors, the motive of the river also acts as a symbol of the division of space.

Abstract
The article deals with the semantics of the “cooperation” component of the Shanghai cooperation organization nomination and the conceptual content of the “Shanghai spirit” philosophema, which determines the functional parameters of the SCO discourse and affects the semantic space. The ideologeme “cooperation” regulates the perception of information about events and the integration of a certain picture of the world that is built relative to the political reality. The conceptual content of the philosophema “Shanghai spirit” is determined on the basis of semantic analysis, which includes several stages: 1) building a conceptual matrix based on the analysis of the metatext of the Declaration on the establishment of the Shanghai cooperation organization; 2) identifying the semantic meaning and the mediated communicative significance of the hieroglyphs that make up the nomination; 3) expanding the context of interpretation and boundaries of the metatext through associative correlations of 上海精神 (“Shanghai spirit”) and 上海气 (Spirit of Shanghai); 4) construction on the basis of data lexicographic sources of content of the concept of spirit, or qi as an internal form, the signified terminological combination “Shanghai spirit”.
