In the process of coal mining, workers (both in mines and open pits) are exposed to a whole range of factors. However, studies aimed at in-depth analysis of DNA damage in miners, are still few. In this review, we analyze the results of cytogenetic studies conducted in various coal mining companies in the world. Results of studies show a significant accumulation of chromosomal aberrations in miners’ blood cells, sister chromatid exchanges, micronuclei and DNA strand breaks, detected by DNA comets. This illustrates the need for similar studies in Kuzbass and the feasibility of developing and implementing protective measures and prevention programmes for miners, aimed at protecting their genomes.

The effect of female sex pheromones on immune processes and behavioral protection against infectious risks was studied in 20 young males.

The paper discusses the results of a study of the gene pool of Yaskolbinsk Tobol -Irtysh Siberian Tatars of Tyumen region according to STR-markers of the Y-chromosome. The sample is formed of 86 men living in Achirsk and Laytamaksk rural settlements in Tobolsk region. The main research method was the analysis of highly variable microsatellite STR-markers of Y-chromosomes using the Y-filer set on the Applied Biosystems 3130 xl Genetic Analyzer sequencer. Genotyping of DNA samples in the gene pool of Yaskolbinsk Tatars found eight Y-chromosome haplo-groups (J2b-M12, N1b-P43, L2-M317, N1c-LLY22, N-M231, O3-M122, R1a-M198, R1b1-M73) with the major haplogroup of N1b-P43.Relatively low diversity of Y-chromosome haplogroups in the population of Yaskolbinsk Tatars may be due to the effect of genetic drift, due to their small size and geographical isolation. It was also noted that the gene pool of Yaskolbinsk Tatars shows similarities with the gene pool of a number of other Turkic peoples of Siberia, in particular, with such peoples of the Altai-Sayan region, as the Shors and the Altaians.

XRCC1 Arg280His, XRCC2 Arg188His, XRCC3 Thr241Met genes polymorphism in lung cancer patients and healthy people of Kemerovo region has been studied. It is established that in the studied samples of distribution of frequencies of alleles and genotypes of the studied polymorphic markers had no deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The prevalence of XRCC3Met in the group of patients with lung cancer is statistically significantly higher than in healthy people. Also, there was a decrease in the frequency of Thr/Thr homozygotes of the XRCC3 gene in male patients with lung cancer. The obtained data are of significant interest for epidemiological studies of hereditary predisposition to the development of lung cancer.

The paper presents the peculiarities of reproduction in indigenous Siberian ethnic groups: Altaians,, Khakasses, Shors, Siberian Tatars, and assesses the impact of the factor of natural selection. According to demographic profiles, age and vital characteristicswere analyzed. Based on vital statistics, parameters of natural selection were calculated by the method proposed by Crow. Female Khakasses and Siberian Tatars show an earlier age of menarche as compared with female Altaians. Physiological reproductive period in all ethnic groups was 33 – 34 years old, the actual reproductive period – less than 1/3 of the physiological. The research showed a reduction in the level of prenatal and prereproductive losses, the average number of pregnancies and live births per generation in all ethnic groups. Indigenous peoples of Siberia differ from each other by peculiarity of reproductive health indicators and reproductive behavior. All the studied groups of indigenous peoples of Siberia revealed the presence of the demographic transition to a narrowed level of natural reproduction. The values were calculated by Crow’s index (Itot) and it is shows a higher pressure of natural selection in populations of Shors and Siberian Tatars.

The paper introduces into scientific use five anthropomorphic stone statues found in Early Iron Age burial sites and barrows in Saryarka territory. Datings of these archaeological complexes by archaeological and radiocarbon methods allowed us to attribute the discussed statues to the period of the VII – V centuries B. C. Comparative analysis of the depictive peculiarities of the announced statues discovered features similar both to the known Saryarka statues of the Saka Period and to Scythian statues of the VII – V centuries B. C. Statues with a specific feature – hemispheric “clour” on the top of the head – were determined to present a type of the Saka Period sculpture.

At the present stage there is an active process of revival of natural history museums in the academic institutions of higher education in the South of Western Siberia. This process coincides with a change in educational standards, where most of the training time is devoted to independent work of undergraduate and graduate students. Natural history museums as an educational, research, scientific and educational institution have a number of functions: educational, scientific archival, communicative. The paper describes the functions associated with only two main directions in the activities of this group of museums –educational and research, – and within them – work with the funds. UniversityMuseums are the objective basis for lifelong learning of all categories of students: from applicants to post-graduates. Activation of the research work in natural history museums in early 21st century led to the inclusion of museum collections in theunitedMuseum Fund of Russia. This contributes to the preservation of historical, cultural and natural heritage in university museums. Solving the main problem – including research associatesin the museums staff – remains vital. Only in this case the museums will meet the requirements of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation.

The paper deals with the main causes of the Khitan Liao Empire crisis and fall in the late 11th– early 12thcenturies. The research is based on a complex analysis of the factors determining the “dual” empire institutions vitality lowering. The article shows that the second cycle of crisis events (the Empire’s development recession) in the late 11th– early 12thcenturies turned to be deeper, and the protection mechanisms which saved the Empire in the late 10thcentury didn't work any more. The demonstrative markers of the crisis were invasions termination and weakening of the army, loss of unity in the emperor’s environment, constant internicine quarrelling, elites isolation, absence of access to the high posts for talented councillors and military commandos, desocialization of nomads etc. It should be noted that among the last Liao governors there was no charismatic leader who could unite the Liao society to resolve the actual foreign policy issues. However, the most important marker was the absence of an innovative development program of the Empire similar to the aspirations of Khitan leaders Taizu and Shengzong. In contrast to many nomadic Middle Age empires, Khitans overcame the complexity threshold which was the long existence of the State structures and system of exploitation of the sedentary population resources. Nevertheless, such transformation ruined the “nomadic nature’ of the Empire, i. e. military and political basis of the dual empire. Numerous but capable Liao army couldn't stand against the Jurchens army, less numerous but consolidated by Aguda, which predetermined the Empire fall.

The paper addresses the hypotheses on the ethnogenesis of Shors as an ethnos introduced by the Russian researchers since the 18th century. The author suggest a new understanding of the artedacts that had been used in previous researches, as applied to some ethnolocal groups of Shors, which in the early 20th century consisted of secondary families – seoks and big blood-relation families-tyols.

The paper identifies the changes in the administrative structure and social organization of the Kuznetsk Tatars – Shors in the 18th – 20thcenturies as a result of military-administrative and economic colonization of the UpperPritomye by the Russian authorities. The result of this colonization was the formation of the nucleus of the future ethnic group – the Kuznetsk Tatars-Shors, which has evolved from ethnolocal groups of different origins related to the neighboring Sagayans-Khakasses, Northern Altaians (the Kumandy and the Chelkans) and Achkeshtyms-Teleuts. The paper reveals for the first time the formation of ethnic feature the Shors in terms of nation-building in the Soviet period. At that very period in history of the MounrainShoriya national district, the modern ethnic boundaries theShor ethnic groups were finally settled, in terms of their dispersalin the south of Kuzbassin large cities (most Shor families) and in remote villages inTashtagolskyand Mezhdurechenskiydistricts of Kemerovo region.

Traditional calendar rites is one of the most important layers of the intangible cultural heritage. In the context of globalization and informatization, this phenomenon is the most exposed to destruction. In modern conditions, we can observe the loss of traditions relating to the field of the ethnic calendar. It is thus urgent not to record these traditions, but to include them in the current environment. One of the leading roles in this area belongs to the museum. Despite the fact that museums are today actively presenting calendar rites as part of the intangible heritage, the methodological basis of such museum activities is poorlydesigned. The lack of a theoretical framework leads to the violation of the principles of museum work and distortion of folk tradition. In this paper, we propose some uniform methods, principles, forms of mainstreaming the calendar rite within the museum's activities. Based on the analysis of existing experience, this will contribute to the revitalization of a significant reservoir of intangible heritage of the Russian and the indigenous population of Kemerovo region.

The paper provides the historiographical information from written and cartographic sources about Chechuliha copper and silver mine development. The mine exploitation took place in the 1786 – 1789 and it was discovered by ores finder Dmitry Popov. As a many archaeologically studied deposits of Altai, Kazakhstan, Khakass-Minusinsk hollow, the described ore mining site of Salair mountain-ridge was discovered due to ancient mines. The identification on the ground, first archaeological studies and collections of lifting materials,that were carried out by the authors, revealed the presence of two types of ancient mines – prospective pits and quarries, located at the rock outcrops on the surface. The results of investigations let attribute the site to archaeological mines. All the identified objects may be named a historical and cultural complex, uniting traces of ancient mining and ore mining objects of the 18th century.

The paper analyzes the petroglyphs on the rocks of Tagar mounds (kurgans) under the mountain Tepsey on the Yenisei, which represent a separate group of pictorial sources on the history of Southern Siberia. The earliest petroglyphs belong to thePodgornovo stage of the Tagar culture, the latest – to the ethnographic time. The most representative and varied petroglyphs belong to the Tagar culture. Petroglyphic images are quite different: anthropomorphic and zoomorphic images, abstract figures, tamgas etc. The petroglyphs show various techniques. Analysis of these images discovers the new sides of world outlook of their creators and gives the whole picture about thr particular time.

In this paper we demonstrated the development of the mathematical models of point current sources field in the cylinder of transversely isotropic composite material with the sources located in the centers of the bases. The main purpose is to determine the electrophysical parameters of the composite material. We obtained an analytical solution (in lines), allowing to find the potentials on the surface of the cylinder with known size and resistivity. To determine the parameters of the effective material resistivity in the radial and axial direction experimentally, the authors propose a method based on the identification of the constructed mathematical model; experimental data were obtained for the identification by testing a cylindrical sample of material reinforced with carbon cloth UT-900. As a result, the specific resistance of orthotropic material in radial and axial directionswas found. Rthe study revealed that the reinforced material conducts current in the direction of the reinforcing fibers better than normal.

Purpose: To study of the emotionalpersonal attitude to the society inorphan childrenin SOS Children’s Village, and to study the possibility of its correction for increasing psychological adaptation.
Methods: empiric (color-associative experiment, unfinished sentences), statistic (frequency, comparative analysis), interpretative.
Results: Orphan children’semotionalpersonal attitude to the society is characterized by emotional immaturity, dependence on other people’s assessment of their behavior. Basic needs of orphan children are directed at eliminating the deficit in love, affection and recognition. The implementation of the program of social and psychological support of orphaned children in SOS Children’s Village allows to form emotionally mature affection to closest people. This is manifested as the ability to establish the optimum psychological distance in interaction with other people (without estrangement and without emotional dependence), confidence in the surrounding people, perception of people as reliable and understanding, and adequate perception of their critique.

The paper contains the reconstruction of Russian migrants’ autoand hetero-stereotype visions about their country of origin (Russia) and host county (Spain)  using the method of freeverbal associations test.  It introduces a system of categories which combines similar groups of associations to the stimuli “Russia” and “Spain”. It also introduces the analysis of Russian migrants’ autoand hetero-stereotypes. Significant differences were registered in the number of associations under the categories: “Spending free time; way of life” (1 % of significance) and “Nature of the ethnos’s environment. Climate conditions.Flora and fauna” (5 % of significance). The autoand hetero-stereotypes are explained as indicators of sociocultural adaptation and possible reasons for Russians’ migration to Spain.

The paper shows the possibility of increasing the capacity characteristics of composite electrodes Ni(OH)2/C, synthesized on the basis of a highly porous carbon material (HPCM). It is known that the introduction of Ni(OH)2 in the carbon materials results in increased capacity.

Nanostructured Au/C composites were obtained by reduction of HAuCl4 solutions with porous carbon matrix. Investigation by different methods shows that the size of forming gold particles is comparable with matrix pore size. It wasdiscovered that a decrease in the concentration of gold in the composites results in an increase in anisometry of Au crystallites, with a predominant enhancement in the direction (100). The comparison of pore size distribution functions of the original Karbonizat matrix and composites on its basis showed that pores with sizes of 2 – 8 nm were less inhibited than the pores of 1 – 2 nm and 8 – 20 nm. It was established that the optimum content of gold in the composite was 1 wt. %. It was found out that electrodes based on Au/C nanocomposites in the asymmetric cell had specific capacity up to 360 F/g, which was 1.8 times higher than the capacity of the original matrix.

The paper studies the variation in sorption parameters of nano-structured composites received by sedimentation of nickel hydroxide from a water solution of chloride in the alkaline environment on the surface of high-porous carbon matrixes «Karbonizat-3» and «Kemerit-8». It is shown, that the addition of a relatively small amount of nickel hydroxide (10 % onof the weight) results in double reduction of the surface area and volume of the pores. The further increase of Ni (OH)2content in the composite tends to increase sorption parameters. In composites on the basis of «Kemerit-8» matrix the surface area and volume of mesopores increase, and in composites on the basis of «Karbonizat-3» matrix– that of micropores increases.

The paper is devoted to the peculiarities of «developmental institutions» formation in the Siberian regions. The importance of the institutional environment and informal personalized ties that affect its formation is articulated. The research is carried out according to the methodological base of public choice theory, especially – economics of bureaucracy, and the concept of D. North. The functional roles which «developmental institutions» perform in the Siberian regions are disclosed, namely: «affiliate» of the regional administration under its full organizational, financial and administrative control; «independent agent», which expresses the interests of academic and university science and small innovative business; «subdivision» of federal innovative structure that promotes commercialization of innovations in the region; «conductor» of the big business interests that favours large-scale projects realization in the region. As a result, different combinations of the elements of institutional environment and informal personalized ties between subjects who are involved in the process of «developmental institutions» creation determine further «success» or «failure» of these organizationaleconomic structures.
