On the Use of a Complex Indicator of the Stability of Permutation Entropy of Time Series Fragments When Analyzing Infrasound Monitoring Signals of the Altai Republic

This paper discusses one of the approaches that allows us to assess the degree of complexity or randomness of fragments of a time series in order to detect infrasound or geomagnetic signals in the results of observations of the dynamics of the natural or man-made processes under study. In our case, we are talking about monitoring the infrasound background on the territory of the Altai Republic. To solve the problem of estimating the required characteristics of a time series with minimal computational costs and in real time, a complex indicator of the stability of permutation entropy is introduced, since estimating the value of classical permutation entropy for n = 3 (the most commonly used version of permutation entropy) does not allow solving the problem with sufficient accuracy.

Совершенствование транспортной системы и перспектива развития туризма в Республике Алтай

Introduction. The Altai Republic is a mountainous region of the Russian Federation with a unique nature and a large number of attractions. Here, in recent years, the tourism sector has been actively developing; the annually increasing tourist flow (2021 - about 2.2 million people, 2022 - 2.5 million people) requires studying the relationship of the transport system with the tourism infrastructure and scientific substantiation of the prospects development of tourism activities in general. Materials and methods. The research is based on a combination of frame and route approaches to identify the territorial features of tourism development. The framework approach forms the basis of spatial planning methodology. The supporting framework of the region, as a linear-nodal structure of the territorial and functional relationship between its elements, gives the most complete picture of the organization of tourism in the region. Results. Transport accessibility largely determines the localization of the main tourist complexes and the prospects for implementing projects to create tourist infrastructure. In the region, a large volume of road construction was implemented within the framework of the regional program “Increasing the volume of construction and reconstruction of highways of the Altai Republic in the period 2015 - 2022.” However, most of the roads are adjacent to the federal highway R-256 (Chuysky tract); therefore the republic is characterized by a predominance of linear-radial routes. The use of the frame approach as a methodological basis for the study made it possible to identify the main linear objects and centers of tourism development on the territory of the Altai Republic. In combination with the route approach, an analysis of the distribution of the spatial configuration of the main route network was carried out across the region. This made it possible to identify opportunities for the development of ring structures, which will become a prospect for the development of the tourist network. Conclusion. Based on differences in natural resources, intensity of traffic flows, and features of tourist infrastructure, three sections of the Chuisky tract were identified. At each of these sites, key attractors have been identified that are places of disparagement for tourists and investors. Resume. We have identified prospects for circular routes that will contribute to the development of tourism infrastructure.

Эффективность функционирования особо охраняемых природных территорий Республики Алтай

The purpose of the study is to study the role of specially protected natural territories in ensuring the sustainable development of regions and to identify areas for improving their functioning in order to preserve the national heritage in the form of a unique natural heritage. Research methods. The main provisions and conclusions of the article are based on the results of the use of statistical and analytical research methods. They helped to determine the impact of nature protection areas on the sustainable development of regions, to formulate trends and contradictions in the development of the tourist and recreational complex of specially protected natural territories of the Altai Republic, as well as to identify the need to improve the efficiency of its functioning through an established system of staffing. Research results. In the course of the work carried out, the influence of specially protected natural territories on ensuring sustainable socio-economic development of the regions was proved. It was also revealed that one of the main factors hindering the successful functioning of tourist and recreational complexes of specially protected natural territories of the Altai Republic is a shortage of personnel. Conclusions. The development of the tourist and recreational complex of specially protected natural territories is a promising area of activity of the Altai Republic, due to its geographical location and the presence of historical, cultural and natural values on the territory. However, there are some contradictions in the development of the tourist and recreational complex of specially protected natural territories, which creates a shortage of personnel, but they play a key role in its successful functioning. In this regard, an adequate response of the education system is required. The key lies in the development of specific educational programs that work ahead of the curve and, most importantly, transform the willingness and ability of employees to breakthrough solutions and actions.

SOCIAL-PROFESSIONAL ORIENTATION OF SCHOOLCHILDREN IN THE REPUBLICS OF SOUTH SIBERIA

The article considers the results of the sociological survey of 2023 concerning the choice of future profession among school-graduates of three Russian regions. The empirical base of the study was formed by the survey materials of the 9th and the 11th grade schoolchildren. The survey was carried out using the questionnaire method in the republics of Tyva, Altai and Khakassia (2522 people, multistage sampling). The analysis of the question concerning the influence of nationality on the social-professional orientations among school-graduates from the republics of Altai, Tuva and Khakassia did not show any significant differences. But there were differences caused by the peculiarities of the social environment and specifics of social-economic development in the mentioned republics. The choice of future profession is determined by the social environment, which differs in the three regions by its social-economic features in each other. The authors understand the concept «social-professional orientation» as the decision, as a social action that a school-graduate performs for achieving his or her goal – getting education and profession. The study of questionnaires responses indicates that the majority of the school-graduates connects the choice of their future profession with a primarily affective action, next with value-rational social action; in the third place – purposeful rational action, in the last – traditional action. Special attention is paid to the issue of choosing a region for a future place of work, which reveals the desire of schoolchildren: to stay to work in their region replenishing the human capital of their native republic, or to move to another region and organize labor activities there. We tried to find out whether social-professional orientations correspond to the real needs of the regional economy using a sociological survey among the graduates of the republican schools within three mentioned regions.

HEALTH AND DEMOGRAPHIC INDICATORS IN POPULATION OVER WORKING AGE

Highlights An analysis of the medical and demographic situation in the Russian Federation during the covid years (2020–2021) showed that the mortality rate in the studied population increased by 39.1%, the primary morbidity rate – by 26.3%, the incidence of COVID-19 increased by 135.6% and amounted to 10,304.1. The results of the study should be taken into account in the development of management decisions on the health of the elderly population at the federal, regional and municipal levels, as well as for planning dispensary work and preventive care for this population. Aim. To conduct an analysis of medical and demographic indicators and mortality rate in the population older than working age to develop management solutions regarding the health of older adults in the context of pension reforms.Methods. The study analyzed statistical data from the Federal State Statistics Service and the Central Scientific Research Institute of Public Health of the Russian Ministry of Health for period from 2012 to 2021.Results. The mortality rate in the population older than working age in the Russian Federation in 2021 amounted to 5 102.3‰oo. In the federal districts, the fluctuations in indicators were 1.3-fold: from 4 091.6‰oo in the North Caucasian Federal District to 5 374.6 in the Siberian Federal District. In the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the difference between indicators was significant (2.9-fold): from 2 066.6‰oo in the Republic of Ingushetia to 5 974.6 in the Novgorod region. In 2021, the primary morbidity rate in the population older than working age in the Russian Federation was 66 183.5, in the Federal District the difference between indicators was 1.25-fold, the highest values ​​were noted in the Siberian Federal District – 73 257.0‰oo, the lowest in the Central Federal District – 58 462.2. In other constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the difference was significant as well (2.3-fold): the Oryol region showed 91 162.7‰oo, in the Kursk region - 39 282.9. In 2021, the following diseases had high morbidity rate in the Russian Federation: respiratory diseases – 21 391.3‰oo (32.3%), COVID-19 – 10 304.1 (15.6%), injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes – 6 528.1‰oo (9.9%), and diseases of the circulatory system amounted to 6 191.7‰oo (9.4%). Regarding this class of diseases, the highest morbidity rates were associated with high blood pressure – 29.9%, cerebrovascular diseases – 28.4%, and hypertension– 25.4%. In federal subjects of the Russian Federation, the difference in the incidence of COVID-19 in the studied population was almost 6-fold in 2021: from 3463.4‰oo in the Chechen Republic to 20 481.6‰oo in the Altai Republic, indicating the ambiguity of COVID-19. During the year of the analysis (2020–2021), the mortality rates in the studied population increased from 4 408.1 to 5 102.9‰oo (by 39.1%), the primary incidence increased from 57 041.4 to 60 183.5‰oo (by 26. 3%), the incidence of COVID-19 increased from 4 373.9 to 10 304.1 COVID-19 (by 135.6%).Conclusion. The results of the study should be taken into account at the federal, regional and municipal levels during planning dispensary and preventive work for the health protection of the older generation.

MULTIDIMENSIONAL APPROACH TO EVALUATION OF POPULATION RELIGIOSITY IN RUSSIA'S ASIAN BORDERLANDS

The article is focused on an analysis of sociological methods of evaluation of religiosity in the context of current transformations of religious consciousness and worldview, the blurring of boundaries between the secular and the religious, and the prevalence of hybrid variants of religious identity, which imply religiosity "beyond confession" and passive religious practices. The authors defend the vision of religiosity as a multidimensional construct that combines objective and subjective, static and dynamic, internal and external characteristics and manifestations. The authors present the results of sociological studies of the population's religiosity in four border regions of Russia - Altai Krai, Novosibirsk Oblast, Republic of Altai, and Republic of Tyva (n = 400 in each region). The Centrality CRS index (Centrality CRS Sh. Huber) is used as the main tool for analyzing religiosity, which allows for an assessment on five dimensions (levels) - cognitions (information), belief (ideology), personal and public practices and religious experience, taking into account the polyconfessional nature of regional societies. The objectives of the study were to compare the results obtained on the national sample with the results in the conditions of the border region and its separate regions characterized by ethno-confessional uniqueness, to analyze the individual dimensions of religiosity and their interrelation with the general index on the basis of factor analysis. It is shown that the index has good psychometric properties, and its individual dimensions are well described by a single-factor structure. The level of religiosity in all four regions generally corresponds to the all-Russian level, while there are serious differences between the regions, caused not only by the axis - national (ethnic) regions - multi-ethnic regions with a dominant Russian and Orthodox population, but also by individual dimensions.

Staffing of the hematology service of the Russian Federation

Introduction. As part of the implementation of the federal project Development of a network of national medical research centers and the introduction of innovative medical technologies, one of the activities of the National Medical Research Center for Hematology (Center) is the analysis of the staffi ng of medical organizations (MO) of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation (RF) by hematologists.Aim — to analyze the dynamics of staffi ng by hematologists of MO in the RF.Materials and methods. Data from the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat) — Federal Statistical Observation Form No. 30 “Information about a medical organization” of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation for 2012–2020, reference books of the Central Research Institute of Organization and Informatization Health of the Russian Ministry of Health in the Russian Federation, information obtained from the results of on-site events of the National Medical Research Center for Hematology, including expert assessments were used.Results. The hematological service is organized in all subjects of the RF, with the exception of the Chukotka and Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Republic of Kalmykia and Altai, as well as the Jewish Autonomous Region. As of December 31, 2021, 1,594 hematologists work in the constituent entities of the RF, of which 460 specialists are in outpatient care and 1133 specialists in hospital settings. Analysis of the availability of full-time positions of hematologists per 10,000 populations in the Russian Federation in dynamics for 2012–2020 revealed fl uctuations in the values of this indicator from 0.06 to 0.17. The largest “failure” in the provision of hematologists occurred in 2014 in almost all federal districts (FD) of the Russian Federation. Only the Urals FD maintains the stability of the indicator of availability of these specialists. Over the past 3 years, there has been an increase in the number of full-time positions of hematologists, while the staffi ng of individuals reduced due to the lack (increase) of new employees and slightly offset by an increase in the coeffi cient of internal part-time work. Thus, the highest combination coeffi cient was noted in 2020 in the Ural (1.49) and Siberian (1.45) FD, the lowest in the North-Western FD (1.09). In accordance with the legal act regulating the activities of the hematology service, the standard for calculating the positions of outpatient hematologists is 1 doctor per 200 thousand of the population, however, the provision of full-time positions for the outpatient stage of care remains not achieved (2021 — 0.92 per 200 thousand); at least 731 doctors are needed against the existing 456 specialists. The staffi ng standard of the department of hematology corresponds to one medical position per 10 beds. Compliance with regulations regarding the formation of the staffi ng table of the inpatient unit was noted in 95% of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.Conclusion. The issues of personnel shortage of hematologists are relevant. The shortage of hematologists in the Russian Federation indicates the lack of attractiveness of remuneration and indicates the need for management decisions to be made by the Government of the Russian Federation and executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation aimed at developing mechanisms for maintaining the human resource of hematologists in the healthcare system.

Энергия и суточный ход молниевой активности в локациях пожаров от гроз на территории Республики Алтай

The article presents the results of a study of the thunderstorm activity diurnal rate and the energy parameters of lightning discharges in locations of thunderstorm fires. The Altai Republic territory serves as the region of research, fire data were obtained from the Ministry of Natural Resources, Ecology and Tourism of the Altai Republic and the Altai State Nature Biosphere, data on thunderstorm activity were provided by the World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN). The study period covers May to October from 2016 to 2020. It was found that the maximum thunderstorm activity shifts from the second half of the day (15-16 hours) to the evening (18-19 and 21 hours) in the days preceding fires. Regularities in hourly dynamics of discharge energy for the territory of the republic were identified - median values gradually increasing from the first half of the day to the evening and decreasing at night and in the morning. It was also established that in the days preceding fires, there is an increase in median discharge energy (by 13 % from the usual value), as well as an increase in values of the first quartile of discharge energy (by 27 % from the usual value).

Three new species of Amblyseius Berlese (Mesostigmata: Phytoseiidae) from Altai Republic, Russia

Three new species of predatory mites belonging to the genus Amblyseius Berlese (Acari: Phytoseiidae), A. latisetosus sp. nov., A. unodentatus sp. nov., and A. altaiensis sp. nov. are described based on the material collected from Altai Republic, Russia. The new species are assigned to the obtusus species group and andersoni species subgroup by having setae J2 and Z1, short and minute setae z4, sub-pentagonal ventrianal shield, and bell-shaped calyx of spermatheca. All new species were compared with each other and all other Amblyseius species known to date. The main diagnostic characters of these species are measurements of prominent dorsal setae, ventral setae JV5 and macrosetae on leg IV, cheliceral dentition, number of setae on genu II as well as small rounded and distinct pre-anal pores on ventrianal shield.

First record of Zaslavskypera libanotidis (Reitter, 1896) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) from the late Pleistocene of Western Siberia

The first record of Zaslavskypera libanotidis (Reitter, 1896) (Curculionidae: Entiminae: Hyperini) from the late Pleistocene of the deposit Ustyanka-1 (Ustyanka River, Loktevsky District, Altaiskii Krai) is given. The first find of this species from Central Altai (Ongudaisky District, Altai Republic) is also reported. The present and past distribution of Zaslavskypera libanotidis and illustrations of this species are given.

Estimation of Geomagnetically Induced Currents in the Altai Republic Power System According to the Baygazan Magnetic Station Data

A geoelectric field, voltages between grounding points of the Altai Republic power grid and geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) in power lines and grounding nodes were calculated in homogeneously conducting Earth’s crust model with the resistivity of 5⋅1025⋅102 Ohm·m based on the magnetic station “Baygazan”data in the Russian Altai. These estimations have shown that the geoelectric field increased up to 30 mV/km, the potenthial difference between the power line grounding points reached value of 3.5 V and GIC value reached 0.12 A during the geomagnetic storm on August 5, 2023 (Kp=5–6) with geomagnetic field change rate increasing up to 10–15 nT/min. The GIC value in power line depends on the geoelectric field orientation. High rate of the north geomagnetic field component change causes GIC in latitude – oriented lines (Kosh-Agach – Inya, Ulagan – Inya, Ust-Koksa – Inya), high one for east component causes GIC in meridian – oriented line (Cherga – Inya). The resistancies asymmetry of the ’Ulagan – Inya’ and ’Ust-Koksa – Inya’ power lines causes an increase of GIC at Ininskaya substation grounding node with latitude-oriented geoelectric fields. The calculated data are compared with the results of monitoring of even harmonics amplitudes at the Ininskaya power substation. It is shown that the calculated value of the GIC in the grounded neutral of the power transformer at the Ininskaya substation correlates with the amplitude of even harmonics during the geomagnetic storm. На основе данных магнитной станции «Байгазан»в Горном Алтае для модели однородно проводящей земной коры с удельным электрическим сопротивлением 5⋅1025⋅102 Ом · м произведен расчёт геоэлектрического поля, напряжения между точками заземления энергетической системы Республики Алтай и геомагнитно-индуцированных токов (ГИТ) в линиях электропередач и узлах заземления. Эти оценки показали, что во время геомагнитной бури 05.08.2023 (Kp=5-6) при скорости изменения геомагнитного поля до 10-15 нТл/мин геоэлектрическое поле достигало значения 30 мВ/км, разность потенциалов между точками заземления — 3.5 В, а геомагнитно индуцированные токи — 0.12А. Значения ГИТ в линиях электропередач зависят от ориентации геоэлектрического поля. Высокая скорость изменения северной компоненты геомагнитного поля порождаете ГИТ в широтно ориентированных линиях (Кош-Агач – Иня, Улаган – Иня, Усть-Кокса – Иня), а у восточной компоненты — для ориентированных вдоль меридиана (Черга – Иня). Асимметрия сопротивлений линии ‘Усть-Кокса – Иня‘ и пары широтно ориентированных линий ‘Улаган –Иня‘ и ‘Кош-Агач – Иня‘ приводит к увеличению ГИТ в заземлении подстанции ‘Ининская‘ при ориентированном вдоль широты геоэлектрическом поле. Расчётные данные сравниваются с результатами мониторинга чётных гармоник на электрической подстанции «Ининская». Показано, что во время геомагнитной бури наблюдается корреляция между расчётными значениями ГИТ в заземленной нейтрали силового трансформатора на подстанции и амплитудой чётных гармоник.

Patriotic Organizations in the National Republics of the Siberian Federal District: Between National and Ethnic Identity

As a response to the special military operation, the discourse on the “colonial” nature of the Russian Federation and the prominent local identity among students in the national-territorial regions of the SFD, such as the Republics of Altai, Khakassia and Tuva, have amplified. This poses the question of the formation of a civic identity and patriotic feelings among young people as the basis for legitimizing political institutions and structures. Important mechanisms for the consolidation and mobilization of patriotic-minded youth are patriotic organizations. As a result of content analysis of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation’s information portal, social network pages of patriotic organizations (n = 121) and expert polls of leaders and members of organizations (n = 85), the authors have identified several categories of patriotic activities, which are aimed at the formation of a civic identity and patriotic feelings among young people in the mentioned regions. It was found that in all the regions studied, organizations of a military-patriotic and military-historical orientation, focused on forming a national identity, predominate. The ethnic component in the activity of patriotic organizations is more present in Khakassia and Tuva, however, in general share of patriotic organizations its representation is insignificant. The processes of standardization and unification of methods of work, formats of events and governing structures of these organizations, associated with the majority of youth patriotic organizations coming under the patronage of the federal movement “Yunarmia”, on the one hand, level out local and ethnic identities, and on the other hand, contribute to the formation of a statist model of patriotism among youth.

SEISMICITY of the ALTAI and SAYAN region in 2018–2019

The seismicity of the Altai-Sayan region in 2018–2019 is considered. The stationary seismic network within the reporting period consisted of 55 stations. Upgrading the recording equipment and retrofitting the stations with strong motion sensors was continued. In addition to the stationary network, five local networks functioned in the region. One of them investigated the seismic process and accumulated data for constructing the Moho boundary using the method of receiving functions in the Altai Republic, the other four were focused on the study of technogenic seismicity in the area of coal minings of the Kemerovo and Novosibirsk regions. During the reporting period, 15405 earthquakes were registered in the region, 52 % of them occurred in the Chui-Kurai zone of the Altai Mountains, for which a brief description of seismicity is given separately. The total seismic energy released in earthquake foci was 2.191012 J in 2018 and 1.171013 J in 2019. The slope of the linear part of the earthquake recurrence chart for 2018–2019 has not undergone significant changes compared to previous reporting periods. The largest earthquake on the territory of the Altai-Sayan region for the reporting period (ML=6.2) occurred on February 1, 2019 at 21h54m in China, 70 km south of the Zaisan lake

Development of CAPS-markers for studying plastid loci polymorphism in Rubus L. subgenus Idaeobathus Focke

Genus Rubus L. including subgenus Idaeobathus Focke (raspberry) has difficult structure. Studying this subgenus researchers have special interest to West Siberia and especially Altai region because two species R. idaeus L. and R. sachalinensis H. Lev. grow together on this territory. Usually in phylogenetic research chloroplast DNA loci are studied. This article describes the attempt to develop relevant plastid CAPS-markers for studying raspberry genetic diversity. Nine markers that revealed polymorphism among raspberry cultivars have been developed. However, the sample of R. idaeus and R. sachalinensis herbarium specimens from Altai Krai and Republic of Altai showed that all of them are monomorphic aside from two combinations “primers/restrictase” indicated intraspecies polymorphism within R. sachalinensis. In addition, two potential markers able to differentiate R. idaeus and R. sachalinensis without using restrictases are detected. Further research devoted to creating markers for revealing plastid loci polymorphism will continue.

Этнокультурные аналогии в традиционной культуре кыргызов и южных алтайцев: ретроспективный анализ материалов российско-кыргызской этнологической экспедиции 2022 года

The article opens a section devoted to the problem of ethnocultural ties of the Turkic peoples. Its author describes four phenomena of the traditional culture of the southern Altai people, which were discovered during an ethnological expedition to the Altai Republic. All of them in one form or another are characteristic of the traditional culture of the Kyrgyz. The paper discusses the game chatyrash, which was revived by the Altaians, lost by the Kyrgyz, but it was mentioned in the Kyrgyz epic “Manas”. The second evidence is the ritual of serving ucha – rump, which is the culmination of serving a meal among the Altai peoples and the Kyrgyz, the most honourable dish. However, Kyrgyz people serve it to a wider circle of relatives. The third one is similar traditional methods of butchering a sheep carcass, names of its bones, the order of serving parts of the animal during a meal, and preference of horsemeat. Finally, the Altai word tagyl, recorded during the expedition, allowed the author to put forward a hypothesis about its similarity with the Kyrgyz San-Tash as a phenomena associated with stones. The author comes to the conclusion about the close ethnogenetic and ethnocultural connection between the southern Altaians and the Kyrgyz, which emerged in the Middle Ages.

Терминология традиционных продуктов питания в алтайском и кыргызском языках: лексико-семантический анализ

The purpose of the study is to compare the vocabulary related to traditional nutrition in the Altai and Kyrgyz languages. It is based on linguistic materials collected by the author among residents of the villages of the Altai Republic: Kaspa, Shyrgaity of the Shebalinsk District; Kyrlyk, Mondur-Sokkon, Kan-Oozy of the Ust-Kansk District; Yabogan, Yelo, Kulady, Bichiktu-Boom, and Kӱpchegen of the Onguday District. Their analysis revealed many lexical and semantic similarities in the Altai and Kyrgyz languages. This is especially noticeable in the names of meat dishes. The coincidences are explained by the identical economic and living conditions of the Altaians and Kyrgyz in the past and present. The formation of the vocabulary of the Altai and Kyrgyz languages took place in a distant era, when their speakers lived in the territory of Altai.

Features of adaptation of the population in difficult climate and natural environment conditions (on the example of research in the Altai Republic)

The authors discuss approaches to the definition of the concept of "adaptation", the interdisciplinary nature of this term is noted. Biological, sociological and psychological approaches to understanding the essence of the phenomenon of "adaptation" are distinguished. At the biological level, a violation of personality adaptation due to difficult climatic conditions can lead to the emergence of physiological diseases, exacerbation of existing chronic diseases; at the psychological level of adaptation – to depressive states, apathy, anxiety, mental disorders; at the social level – to disruption of professional activity, difficulties in communicating with other people, the formation of negative ways of organizing leisure. It is noted that observations of local residents are a valuable source of information about climate change, especially at the local level. The article presents the data of an empirical qualitative study, the purpose of which is to identify and analyze trends in climate change and the natural environment in the Altai Republic in the perception of the local population. A number of in-depth interviews were conducted with experts, local residents living in permafrost areas of the Altai Republic: in the villages of Kosh-Agach and Ulagan districts. The obtained results of a qualitative study indicate problematic aspects of adaptation of residents of the Altai Republic at the biological level: in the presence of chronic diseases (especially high blood pressure is common), the population rarely seeks medical help. Risks are also noted at the social level of adaptation: the life activity of the population of the Republic takes place in difficult working and everyday conditions, due to difficult climatic conditions, residents have to abandon animal husbandry, a traditional source of personal food and income, there is difficult access to the social infrastructure of settlements, including for constructive leisure. The psychological component of adaptation, on the contrary, works quite effectively: despite the difficult living conditions, respondents assess their life as good and for the most part do not want to change their place of residence. It is noted that successful human adaptation is an integrated approach that includes biological, psychological and social components of adaptation.

Formation of the Ranges of Invasive Plant Species in the Altai Republic: Results of the Centennial Naturalization

Formation of the Ranges of Invasive Plant Species in the Altai Republic: Results of the Centennial Naturalization

Интонация простых интеррогативных высказываний в алтайском языке

The paper presents preliminary results of a study based on experimental data on the intonation of a simple interrogative utterance in the Altai language. Based on the requested element, interrogative sentences can be divided into two types: full, referring to the entire sentence, and partial, which are questions. The purpose of a question determines whether it falls into the category of a modal one, to be answered by yes or no, or a dictal one, requiring additional information. Additionally, question types differ formally: dictal ones with interrogative words and modal ones with interrogative particles. Intonation is significant in expressing communicative goals and designing the syntactic structure of a sentence. The concept of intonation encompasses various prosodic methods for segmenting and organizing speech flow to convey the intended message. The intonation system is a complex combination of various prosodic means, including tonal, quantitative-dynamic, articulatory, and phonational. The experimental material for this study was recorded in the village of Yakonur, Ust-Khan district of the Altai Republic. The data were processed using the methodology adopted in the Laboratory of Experimental Phonetic Research of the Institute of Philology SB RAS. The analysis has revealed that the intonation contour of interrogative utterances in the Altai language varies depending on the presence and position of an interrogative marker. The peak of the intonation contour in questions falls on the interrogative word of the utterance. The pitch curve in questions exhibits a higher level of ending in comparison to the intonation of affirmative sentences.

NEW LOCATIONS OF SOME HYGROMYIDS (GASTROPODA, STYLOMMATOPHORA, HYGROMIIDAE) IN THE SOUTH OF WESTERN SIBERIA

A new locality of Chilanodon bicallosa is recorded from near the village of Basandaika in the Tomsk District of the Tomsk Region. Lindholmomneme nordenskioldi is distributed north to the latitude of the village of Parabel in the Parabel District of the Tomsk Region. Noneulota surprisa was found in the vicinity of the village of Yaylyu in the Turochak District of the Altai Republic. Euomphalia strigella is recorded in the vicinity of the village of Bakchar in the Bakcharsky District of the Tomsk Region.
