Aim. The aim is to identify a complex of objective and subjective factors which generate a special state of individual consciousness, a social ground for manifestations of terrorism. Materials and methodology. In order to solve the problems posed in the study, a set of general scientific and psychological methods was used. The method of theoretical analysis and synthesis was used in the study of scientific publications and the development of the concept of research. The methods of empirical research (questioning, interviews, observation, etc.) were used in order to obtain the most complete volume of knowledge about the investigated object. For the analysis of the empirical data of sociological surveys, were used statistical methods as the sampling method, the method of analyzing statistical series and the method of constructing a diagram. Results. The analysis of objective information and subjective assessments of monitoring public opinion shows that certain groups of Dagestanis use religion exclusively to achieve their own selfish goals, one of which is spreading their influence in the republic. Studying the problems of mechanisms of development and management of integration processes in the implementation of the innovative educational systems allows creating a favorable environment for the education of tolerance among young people. Awareness of the current social situation which determines the specificity of the development of Dagestanis' self-awareness under the influence of the ideas of radical Islam has conditioned the topic of the proposed study. Conclusion. The findings obtained can be recommended for use as preventive measures in schools as well as in secondary special and higher educational institutions. It is necessary to hold meetings, round tables, seminars, conferences and symposiums together with the leading political scientists, sociologists, political psychologists, representatives of various confessions to discuss the true goals and objectives of information and the activities of aggressive religious movements.

The aim of the presented article is to analyze seal lice (Phthiraptera: Anoplura, Echinophthiridae) adaptation to aquatic environment – permanent parasites of pinnipeds, as well as available literature data about seal lice as pathogen vectors of their hosts. Discussion. The most noticeable feature of seal lice adaptation to aquatic environment has become their movement in the nasal passages of pinnipeds. However, this does not mean a complete rejection of ecto - in favor of endoparasitism. Seal lice preserved morphology-functional mechanisms of attachment to the fur and gained a number of features that facilitate the existence in the aquatic environment: the abdominal spiracles are tapered and have tube-like shape; head, thorax and especially the abdomen is covered with scale-like flattened setae, which stick to the air bubbles. The close ecological connection with the pinnipeds makes bloodsucking seal lice effective carriers of etiological agents of invasive and infectious diseases, e.g. microfilaria Acanthocheilonema spirocauda (Nematoda: Onchocercidae), Southern elephant seal virus (SESV) (Togaviridae, Alphavirus), Bartonella henselae (Rhizobiales: Bartonellaceae). Symbiont of Proechinophthirus fluctus described in 2016 was classified to the group of spotted fever Rocky mountain (Rickettsia ricketsii), which includes etiological agents of dangerous human diseases. Conclusion. It is necessary to include investigations of seal lice of pinnipeds into the programs of ecology-zoological and ecologyvirological monitoring of marine mammals.

Aim. The aim of the research is to study the influence of various environmental factors (abiotic and biotic) on some fish-biological indicators in the cultivation of sturgeons with the use of a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS). Methods. A complete biological analysis was carried out according to the generally accepted ichthyological methods. Monitoring of the hydrochemical regime in the RAS was carried out throughout the study period. The temperature and pH of water were measured daily and the concentration of oxygen in the basins was measured three times a day. Results. Taking into account that the fish specimens studied did not show any pathology and also taking into consideration their genetic homogeneity and absolutely identical conditions in the RAS, the findings obtained can be explained by the different degree of oxygen supply under artificial growth conditions. The results of the biochemical analysis show that the blood of fish grown in the RAS with an elevated oxygen content (experimental group) by the end of the experiment (4 weeks) contains an increased amount of malondialdehyde (MDA) which could lead to the observed difference in the dynamics of growth parameters of the young of the year. Conclusions. When the oxygen content of the water is below 70% the growth rate slows down, as food consumption is almost halved, while the saturation of O₂ by 40% is considered critical. When sterlet is grown to produce a high mass, it is necessary to set the temperature of the water in the pools in the interval of 21-220°C in the ultrasonic complexes. For industrial cultivation of sterlet, we recommend using a planting density of 60 kg/m³.

Aim. The aim of the study is to establish the taxonomic composition of freshwater mollusks and to study the patterns of their distribution over freshwater bodies located in different natural zones of Dagestan. Methods. The materials presented in this paper are predominantly collected in the summer months of 2000-2015 in the water bodies located in different natural zones of Dagestan: the Tersko-Sulak plain, the Primorsky lowland, the foothill area and the highland area. Results and conclusions. In the fresh waters of the investigated region, the class of bivalve mollusks is represented by 15 species from 10 genera and 5 families. The class of gastropods is represented by 34 species from 16 genera and 7 families. In the reservoirs and watercourses of the Tersko-Sulak plain zone, are found all 49 species of mollusks inhabiting the water bodies of the investigated area; 17 in the Primorsky lowland, 15 in the foothill area. Malacofauna of water bodies and streams of the highland areas is poor. Here were found only 6 species. The regions of distribution of mollusks that we have identified quite well correspond to the zoning of reservoirs according to their physical and geographical characteristics.

Aim. This work is devoted to studying the morphology of the excretory tissue of leaves and secondary metabolites of some species from Inula genus (Inula britannica L., Inula aspera Poir., Inula germanica L.) grown in plant communities of the foothill and steppe zones of the Kabardino-Balkar Republic. Methods. As object of a research served the leaves of an average tier of plants collected in a phase of the complete blossoming
in August, 2015-2016. Applied the standard histochemical test reactions to identification of secondary metabolites. Results. Morphological structure of non-glandular trichomes are typical of the Asteraceae family. Hairs are located on large veins and interveinal region abaxial, rarely adaxial surface of the leaf. The total number of non-glandular trichomes decreases among I. britannica L. – I. aspera Poir. – I. germanica L. Glandular trichomes are located on the abaxial surface of the leaf and have morphological species characteristics. The number of glandular trichomes per 1 mm2 of the leaf surface varies from 1 (I. germanica L.) to 16 (I. aspera Poir.). In the leaves of I. germanica L. are formed endogenous secretory structures: schizogenous intercellular spacese, idioblast, latex vessel. The secondary metabolites of I. britannica L. are essential oils, I. germanica L. – essential oils, resins, calcium oxalate, rubber, I. aspera Poir. – essential oils, resins, polysaccharides. Conclusion. Morphological features of secretory tissue and chemical composition of secondary metabolites in the leaves of the genus Inula L. due to the influence of abiotic conditions and associated with the ecological strategy of the species. Differences in the morphology of glandular structures can be used for micro-diagnostics species of the genus Inula L.

Aim. Ground water reserves in the floodplains that form during the spring flood is of great importance for the sustainable development of arid regions. They support the ecosystems and provide the population with fresh water. Monitoring and management of ground water is an important economic task. The authors develop a methodology for predicting ground water for the conditions of floodplains of the rivers in the arid zone of the South Russia. The proposed methodology allows you to minimize labor costs, improve the accuracy of research results. Methods. The methodology of the study covers three stages. On the first, geodetic profiling methods are applied to key areas that have a characteristic conditions for the study area. The second stage is the determination of the ground water table level by a geophysical method with the help of a georadiolocation. The third stage is the analysis and interpretation of the measured data, the construction of models for the distribution and dynamics of ground water in the ArcGis. Results. Preliminary data obtained from the georadiolocation profiling of the river floodplain contain more objective information on the depth of the ground water table than the data of the drilling. The results of continuous georadiolocation profiling when combined with the hypsometrical profile make it possible to construct a model of ground water dynamics by the seasons of the year. Main conclusions. Previous studies in the Volga-Akhtuba floodplain, using the proposed methods, showed their reliability and high information value. Interpretation and data processing through geoinformation systems allows to build a model of ground water dynamics by seasons of the year. The proposed method can be tested for river deltas of the Don basin.

Aim. The aim of the research is to study the influence of ecological education on the formation of a world outlook for the sustainable development of the society (on the example of schools in the Kizilyurt district of the Republic of Dagestan). Materials and methods. The results of a questionnaire survey of pupils of 5-11 grades and school teachers of 19 schools in the Kizilyurt District served as the materials for the study. The questionnaires were developed at the Institute of Ecology and Sustainable Development (Dagestan State University) which were also successfully tested in other regions of the republic. The data was processed using standard tools as the Statistica and Excel programs. Results. Analysis of the results of the questionnaire survey of pupils in schools in the Kizilyurt District allowed drawing conclusions about the quality of environmental education. The results of the research reveal shortcomings in the planning and content of school curricula. The questionnaires showed unsatisfactory level of the environmental awareness as well as the fact that the only means of receiving environmental knowledge by students is during the study of biology and geography.
Conclusion. The authors evaluated the environmental awareness of students, formulated recommendations for improving the training system and its content for sustainable development of the society.

Objective: to determine the levels of essential elements (copper, zinc and manganese) in the liver of Russian and Persian sturgeon and their basic food sites, as well as in the liver of the Caspian seal, which is a functional depot for many metals. Methods. Sampling was carried out according to generally accepted methods, determination of heavy metals produced by atomic-absorption spectroscopy using atomic absorption spectrometer with connection atomizaciej MGA-MD 915. Results. The concentration of zinc in all investigated sites exceed-valid, while zinc is not able to accumulate up the food chain. The level of accumulation of copper was higher than the maximum prescribed only in the liver of the Caspian seal as the holder of a faster metabolism. Manganese in maximum concentration has been found in the liver of the Caspian seal, but does not exceed the permissible values. Since the liver is the primary organ, concentrating this trace element. Conclusions. Accumulation of trace elements depends on the physiological characteristics of an organism, the properties of the trace element and from Wednesday.

Aim. The aim of the research is to study the cytogenetic disorders in the cells of apical meristem of the sprouts of urban green plantations of the small-leaved linden (Tilia cordata L.) and rattlertree (Populus alba L.) growing under different conditions in terms of anthropogenic impact as parks, squares and places of street plantings along urban highways. Methods. Cytogenetic abnormalities in the cells of the apical meristem of small-leaved linden and rattlertree have been studied in terms of the frequency of occurrence of micronuclei and protrusions of nuclei of different forms. The buds for analysis were collected from a tree of 1.5-2 m. height in spring during March-April 2009, 2012 and 2015. The collected buds were processed with acetalcohol, micropreparations of cells of the apical meristem were made and stained with acetocarmine. Karyological indicators were analyzed and cited by L.P. Sychova. Findings. The study reveals that the most pronounced cytogenetic disturbances in terms of the frequency of occurrence of micronuclei and protrusions of nuclei of different forms were significantly higher in the cells of the apical meristem of the sprouts of small-leaved linden and rattlertree plantations along the city's highways compared to the same parameters of the parks and squares studied. Cells of the apical meristem of the sprouts of small-leaved linden are most sensitive to technogenically polluted environment in comparison with the cells of rattlertree sprouts. Conclusion. Cells of the apical meristem of the sprouts of the investigated trees, especially of small-leaved linden, can serve as indicators of the genotoxicity of the city's environment.

Aim. The aim of the research is to study environmental problems related to the decline of culture, the importance of philosophy in overcoming private and personal interests as well as the unilateral approach of man in his relationship to nature. The study shows how philosophy can participate in the formation of ecological culture, a new ecological consciousness in man, while ecological culture is called upon to resist technocratic stereotypes and the course of history was aimed at preventing the biosphere from becoming deserted. Discussion. On the basis of the analysis of literary sources, we used the method of socio-cultural and socio-natural approaches based on the possibility of philosophy to introduce a new life into culture, new ecological values and new ecological principles. To solve these problems, environmental philosophy develops new theories. Representatives of different cultures, ethnic groups, nations, religions must learn to coexist with each other. We consider philosophy as a means of teaching rapprochement between peoples and creating new opportunities for understanding and improving the environmental situation. Cultural development makes it possible to assess the level of a man’s knowledge of nature, himself and the world around him. Ecological culture is a way of connecting man with nature on the basis of deeper knowledge and understanding. Philosophy says that you cannot move away from nature and be lauded over it since this will destroy culture. Rational doctrines tend to put a person above other living beings so the synthesis of philosophy with culture can have a positive ecological meaning. Conclusion. The findings obtained can be recommended for practical use in schools, starting from primary school, as well as in secondary special educational institutions and universities. It is necessary to work on the motivation and values of people, develop a common and ecological culture. Only a cultured person can move from satisfying his material needs to meeting the needs of the soul thus implementing a sustainable development strategy. Therefore the links between environmental philosophy and environmental culture deserve further study.

Abstract. Aim. The aim of the research is to consider the possibilities most often used in practical cardiology of registers and prognostic scales in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Discussion. The heterogeneity of the clinical picture, the results of ECG studies, levels of cardiomarkers and pathophysiological mechanisms of ACS cause different levels of risk of cardiac complications and death of patients in the short and long term. In such patients, stratification of risk, especially of early cardiac complications, is a key factor in determining treatment strategies and quality of life. The main method that allows solving these problems is cohort observational programs or registers of different levels and purposes. The GRACE scale is perhaps the most powerful in its predictive value. Unlike other scales, GRACE includes an evaluation of renal function and with the sufficient frequency of renal arterial hypertension associated with ACS and renal impairment (creatinine clearance less than 75 mL / min) the GRACE predictive accuracy improves significantly. Conclusion. Analysis of the literature shows that at present leading centers of cardiology, a lot of attention is given to the development of ACS registers and prognostic scales with maximum power and specificity as well as sufficient ease of use and the possibility of further improvement. The reliability and informativeness of registers and prognostic scales is based on the use of the principles of evidence-based medicine and advanced methods of medical statistics.

Aim. The aim of the work is to determine the duration of development of locust larvae in the Karachay-Cherkess Republic for 2014-2015. Materials and methods. Five model species of locusts served as an object of the study: Omocestus haemorrhoidalis Ch., Chorthippus albomarginatus Deg., Chorthippus bigutullus L., Chorthippus apricarius L., Chorthippus mollis Ch. Were used traditional methods of catching and registering locusts. Findings. The average duration of development of the locust larvae of the investigated species for both sexes was greatest in the fifth age. The largest loss of larvae of model species was observed immediately after hatching at the first age and during the last age. At the transition from the first age to second, 30% of the larvae died and 15% while molting to the. The larvae of the II, III and IV ages developed safely and survived. Conclusion. Data on the fertility of species and changes in the timing of hatching allow determining the state of the population and forecasting the number of locusts which is of practical interest.

Aim. The aim of the work is to determine the sex ratio of the larvae of some locust species of the Karachay-Cherkess Republic (2014-2015). Materials and methods. Data on the ratio of the sexes of the studied locust species (Omocestus haemorrhoidalis Ch., Chorthippus albomarginatus Deg., Chorthippus bigutullus L., Chorthippus apricarius L., Chorthippus mollis Ch.) was obtained by observing the hatching of larvae in the cage in natural conditions in 4 regions of Karachay-Cherkessia. Traditional methods for catching and registering locusts were used in the work. Results. Studies have shown the predominance of females for all model species. In some cases, 2-4 larvae emerged from one egg. The duration of the age varies within a few days but the fertility of female species can vary significantly depending on the impact of environmental factors. These studies confirm the fact of the change in the number of eggs in locust pods depending on the breadth of habitat. Conclusion. Information on the timing of the emergence and development of dominant species, their fertility, etc. can be used by the plant protection service for an objective assessment of the state of a population of harmful species and forecasting their abundance in the region.
