The provision of specialized food products for children of toddler age is an urgent problem. Dairy products for baby food are not produced domestically or are produced in insufficient quantities. The absence of dairy products in the diet of toddlers causes bowel disbacteriosis. In the production of fermented milk products for baby food goat milk can be used along with cow milk: this enriches the milk base with protein and gives the hypoallergenic properties to the products. The paper proves the necessity of developing the technology of fermented milk drinks production for baby food using bifidus and bacterial concentrates of lactic acid bacteria adapted to milk. The author suggests the main development stages of the process of dairy mixes fermentation with symbiotic cultures. In beverage technology dairy baby food fermentation  parameters  of  enriched  dairy base  by  the acid  method  using  the  developed  starter  compositions  of mesophilic Lactococcus lactic acid and starter cultures adapted to milk (B. bifidum 1 + B. longum Я3 + B. infantis 512) are: the temperature of (37±1) °C, the duration of (5,5...6,0) hours.

The paper addresses the physical and chemical characteristics of two breeds of diploid winter rye: Petrovna and Narymchanka.

The author undertakes an attempt to find the numerically prospective periodic solutions near two maximas of resource function in a mathematical model of animal migration. The model considering environments that vary in both space and time was applied to the description of evolution of migration [3]. In particular, the differential equation of the second order with cubic nonlinearity, negative viscosity and periodic influence was investigated. Decisions which are not, strictly speaking, periodic are found as a result, but display periodic behaviour on some circumscribed interspace. Some dependence between model parameters was revealed as well. The received results are the establishment for specification of some hypotheses about the behaviour of decisions in the model of animal migration.

The paper studies the territory of the Middle Irtysh within Pavlodar region in which there is an exacerbation of geoecological situation. The author analyzed the peculiarities of nature management in one of the major industrial regions of Northern Kazakhstan in order to identify regional differences in terms of socio-economic development that lead to the differentiation of the extent of human impact on the environment. For the analysis of socio-economic development of the region the indicators characterizing the economy (the region's place in the economy, the structure and dynamics of the GRP growth, density, industrial production, investment in fixed assets, the road density), the level and quality of life of the population (the average wage, employment, life expectancy, morbidity) were considered. The estimation of anthropogenic transformation of territories was performed on the basis of calculating the coefficient of anthropogenic transformation. Within the region, three types of geo-environmental foci of increased tensions were identified, which are formed mainly near the towns and large villages in areas of mineral development and intensive agriculture.

The natural-resource potential and economic specialization of the steppe regions of Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan are estimated. The study is based on the data about various kinds of natural resources: land, water, forest, fuel, ore and non-metallic. The results revealed spatial differences in economic specialization for each region of the steppe zone. Currently, the role of economic sectors, specializing in non-renewable resources (fuel and ore) is increasing, most of them are not involved in the production and are mainly export-oriented, while the use of renewable resources (land, forest and water) shows obvious territorial misbalance: in the areas with more favourable climatic conditions the already high territory plowing is increasing. Consequently, the nature and extent of economic specialization in the steppe regions that do not meet the criteria of sustainable development are changing.

The paper analyzes the fundamental researches by Maks Weber, Georg Simmel, Louis Wirth and Jean Baudrillard considering the city and urban lifestyle as self-dependent sociological phenomena.

The relevance of this topic is based on the importance of the psychosexual sphere in adolescence and low scientific facilities for the psychologists’ practical work in this area. The investigation focuses on the preventive measures of teenage psychosexual disorders. The basis of the psychoprophylactic work is the study of teenagers’ attitude toward bodies depending on their sex. The research was held with the help of psychodiagnostics set of methods aimed at studying the different components of the attitude toward body. The research is based on our self-formulated term “attitude toward body” in which V. N. Myasischev’s conception of relationship underlies. The expected results showed the more critical attitude of teenage girls toward their bodies. However, contrary to the expectations and irrespective of the sex the majority of probationers showed high level of alexithymia as a result of an insufficient ability to verbalize their own corporeal feelings and emotions. Cognitive aspects of attitude toward body are not formed enough for both boys and girls. The recommendations for teachers and psychologists were worked out in order to prevent teenage psychosexual disorders taking into account sex differences. The prospects of studies in the area of psychoprophylaxis were determined for future research work.

The paper is devoted to the consideration of changes taking place in modern society and their influence on the forming of tolerant consciousness of the youth. The results of empiric research of value and life-meaning orientations are presented alongside with the tolerance level and types of ethnic identity of young men and women of rural and urban communities. The important values for the young generation are «independence», «kindness» and «safety». According to the level of life-meaningfulness, young women are more likely to value the life process and to control life events than young men. Young people regardless of their gender and place of living have optimal level of tolerance and positive ethnic identity. The formation of tolerant consciousness including the systems of life-meaningl and value orientations implies the formation of positive ethnic identity which allows the successful adaptation of the young generation to social changes.

The chemical composition of silver nanoparticles surface obtained by initial metal evaporation and chemical reduction from silver salts was investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy method. Differences in electronic state of atoms of silver nanoparticles depending on the method of obtaining them are shown. The authors revealed that silver atoms of nanoparticles obtained by reduction from salts are in the covalent state. Positive chemical shift of the binding energy of Ag3d core level of silver nanoparticles in comparison with a bulk metal is fixed. The deviation of electronic properties of chemically synthesized silver nanoparticles from the properties of evaporated nanoparticles in the form of decrease of conductivity, the changes of valence band, kinetic energy of Auger lines and Wagner parameter was discovered. Small changes related to the influence of oxygen on the state of superficial silver atoms were observed in silver core level spectra. The nature of different adsorption states of oxygen on silver nanoparticles surface depending on their type and temperature was investigated. It is shown that molecular oxygen forms stabilize on silver surface in normal conditions. The increase of adsorption temperature up to 450 K and the use of evaporating nanoparticles leads to the appearance of O 1s lines of oxygen atoms with more ion character of bonds with silver atoms in spectrum.

The paper substantiates the assumption that a “tax trap” is formed as a result of the curent policy – a special case of externalities payments, which, contrary to the logic of the existence of tax (reaching Pareto efficiency) – leads to the opposite result. In addition, the author notes the trend toward the raise in the cost of producing public goods for the state.

The paper substantiates the assumption that the special case of domestic privatization transforms the institution of private property. Formal action – the privatization of residential premises, does not correspond to the planned content. In particular, one can make an assumption that there is no effective ownership. The implemented privatization process, as well as the setting for a certain conditional commitment and availability of private premises, which is political in nature, contributes to investment flows redirection within the economy of the state. The analysis of the particular case of the institutionalization of property relations and state action model can be an illustration of the formation of a hybrid vertical social contract.

In terms of the ‘principal-agent model’ corruption can be defined as violation of the contract (formal or informal) between the agent and the principal. The resources provided by the principal are then used by the agent for their private needs. From this perspective constitutional rights can be viewed as a universal contraction policy. The paper studies the process of corruption institutionalization as a form of opportunistic behavior in agency relations. The conclusions are based on the experimental data of a recent survey conducted among the students studying the course on “Corruption: causes, consequences, counteraction”. According to the author’s position, corruption plays a role of a communication tool, fulfilling the existing institutional failures.

The paper explores the meaning of innovation entrepreneurship development in foreign countries. The role of cluster policy in the development of innovative entrepreneurship in Russia is shown.

Political culture is the connecting link between the interests, needs, norms, and social status of the subjects of the political process and their political behaviour. As the legitimacy mediates dominance and submission, political culture mediates the consciousness and behaviour of the subject of policy. Political culture contains both the elements of positive assessment of the existing political system and the elements of negative evaluation. The number of positive values determines the degree of legitimacy of a political system. The paper aims to analyze the influence of political culture on the process of legitimating the legislative power in modern Russia. This aspect is of theoretical and practical significance for the functioning of the political system of modern Russia.
