The paper provides the analysis of changes in land laws in connection with the amendments, which entered into force on 1 March2015 inthe legal regulation of land rights. The author gives a legal assessment of changes to the legislation and identifies the legal problems of legal regulation. The paper concludes that the diversity of types of land rights is quite reasonable in modern terms; the introduced changes are an attempt of the legislator to match the norms of the civil and land legislation on the rights to land plots, providing special rules about them in the Land Code of theRussian Federation. The author notes that the rules of land law on lease of land significantly expanded, the legislator recognizes the right of land lease as primary, which, however, is not always justified. In addition, among the shortcomings of the changes in land legislation the author points out the inconsistency and ambiguity in the formation of the system of land rights, the designation of certain types of land rights, their distribution according to the articles of the Land Code of theRussian Federation. The Land Code is abundant in references to the civil law and procedural rules, which complicates the perception of the legal provisions on the rights to land plots, their interpretation and application. The author believes that the new practice will be difficult, and collaboration of both researchers and representatives of legislative, executive and judicial authorities is required.

The paper describes the possibility of creating pedagogical conditions for inclusion of future teachers in research activities. Theory and practice of implementing pedagogical conditions for inclusion of future teachers in scientific and pedagogical work is realized through the technology of systematic pedagogical modeling (educational technology creating a culture of the individual’s self-dependent work). The paper clarifies the concept of “inclusion of future teachers in research activities”, the statistics of the ideas implemented in practice of training future teachers is provided.

The paper presents the results of research on the possible development of extreme tourism in the archipelago of Novaya Zemlya. The authors suggestb their own definition of the term ‘extreme tourism’ as an independent type of tourism, since in is impossible to classify the tour as an extreme one within the classifications that had been intro¬duced by other authors. Extreme tourism is the active form of tourism, including travel of different specialization with an increased risk to human health, a necessary condition is a high degree of ensuring the security of the tourist. To simplify the classification of the tour, criteria of extreme tourism were developed, and if the tour meets two or more of the criteria, it is extreme. The paper presents the security criteria for extreme tourism in the studied area. A comprehensive assessment of Novaya Zemlya as a destination for the development of this type of tourism was per¬formed. For this purpose, the bioclimate of the studied area is considered within the following parameters: insolation, wind and temperature, atmospheric circulation; the relief of the archipelago and its unique and amazing wildlife are considered as well. All this leads to the conclusion that Novaya Zemlya is a perspective direction for the develop¬ment of extreme tourism.

Literary translation is understood as transmitting the system of cultural values from one cultural tradition to another. Adequate translation requires adequate transfer of different aspects, including the gender component. This paper addresses the gender aspects transfer in O. Wilde’s tales translation. To perform an adequate translation, the translator has to apply to the results of studying stereotypes in a certain culture, including gender stereotypes, to transmit them to the representatives of another culture adequately. The author provides his characters with some personality traits that are perceived as typical of men or women in a particular society. The grammatical gender of nouns creates a specific gender-related perception of the character. The examples analyzed in the paper prove the necessity to keep the gender distribution in the translation, because sympathy between a male and a female characters is perceived by the readers quite differently from the sympathy between two male characters. The awareness of cultural stereotypes allows for the adequate transfer of the personification of characters.

The paper is devoted to topical issues of qualification of crimes in various forms of complicity in a crime. The research aims at showing the specificity of the various forms of complicity in a crime, a reflection of this specificity in the classification of crimes. The author proceeds from a starting position that any complicity is the activity of a group of people, and the nature of complicity implies participation in the group crime, although the forms of committing a group crime (a crime committed by a number of partners) may be different. The author differentiates between the group the is not a sign of a crime, and the group that is a sign of a crime (constitutive or qualifying), and suggests characteristics of a group of individuals, group of people by prior conspiracy, criminal association (criminal organization). The paper shows the impact of various forms of complicity in a crime on the qualification of crimes, some arguments on the issues of concern are made. The work can be used in law enforcement and scientific activities, in the educational process.

The paper is devoted to the development of the tourism cluster “Kuzbass”. The purpose of the paper is to characterize the “cluster initiative” content and its role in the implementation of the diversification policy of the economy of a ‘resource type’ region. The methodology of the paper is based on the use of tools and models of comparative institutional analysis and the theory of clusters. The paper highlights the alternatives of the ‘resource type’ regions development in contemporary Russia, i.e. ‘enclave dual economy’ and ‘integrated regional economy’. The necessity of the transfer of these regions on the trajectory of ‘integral development’ is grounded. It is shown that the implementation of such strategy includes the measures to diversify the regional economy with expanding the range of competitive sectors on the national and global markets as an integral component. The search for the potential new ‘growth poles’ in the ‘resource type’ regions became a top priority for the regional and federal authorities. For Kemerovo region economy tourism is such a potential ‘growth pole’. However, the realization of this potential requires the regional authorities to develop and implement the special incentives in the form of the tourist industry ‘cluster initiative’. It is substantiated that the optimal strategy is the development of the tourism cluster “Kuzbass” as a complex structure consisting of four subclusters. This strategy would provide a comprehensive development of the sector by focusing on the four subclusters on different segments of the tourist services market.

The current problems of the regional economy development in the form of «productive entrepreneurship” based on the production and implementation of innovations are uncovered in the paper. The methodological basis is W. Baumol’s approach, which examines the impact of different types of entrepreneurship (productive and rent-seeking) on the development of the economic system. Tourism industry is selected as the object of research, which has a high multiplier effect, smoothes out regional disparities, and development prospects are directly linked to the predominant type of business. The purpose of the study is to assess the prospects of development of productive entrepreneurship in the tourism sector in the resource type region. The paper discusses possible scenarios for development of the tourism industry.The possible scenarios for development of the industry related to the choice of strategies to support the industry by the regional authorities are disclosed in the paper. The first one is traditional strategy and is associated with increased state regulation of tourist activities; the positioning of Kemerovo region as a region favorable for the development of tourism; attraction of investments in the tourism industry. The second strategy is the target-oriented development scenario based on the cluster approach and the mechanism for the integrated development of tourist and recreational zones. The author concludes that it can contribute to the growing clustering of "productive entrepreneurs" in the tourism industry in the region, as purposefully focused on the production and innovation. The best conditions for the development of tourism infrastructure as well as the scope of related services may be realized as part of the tourism and recreational cluster, based on science-based solutions, as well as the use of public-private partnerships.

The paper notes that the thopic of the morphological analysis of vessels remains weakly elaborated so far. A. Shepard’s expanded technique of studying proportionality vessels, the program of statistical processing of ceramics developed by V. F. Hening, A. A. Bobrinskiy’s method of selecting "habitual" forms and "imitation shapes" are still poorly used by the scientific community, or are not applied. The paper presents the results of the analysis of the morphology of the Andronovo ceramics landfill facility Elovskii II, made by V. F. Gening’s method based on 162 vessels. The average image of the Andronovo culture vessel of the monument is registered. New directions of using the results of the methodology are proposed. The artifacts similar in all (parameters) are analyzed. It is suggested that this group of receptacles was constructed within a single dynamic stereotype, they could have been made by a single craftsman or a narrow range of potters (relatives). The planografic map of the graves of the Andronovo burial complex Elovskii II is composed. The authors note the time proximity of the burials and simultaneous functioning of different parts of the burial ground. It is noted that the products of one "master" were used not only in the graves of close relatives, but also in those of other members of the given community.

In cognitive linguistics the metaphor is considered as a way of structuring knowledge and worldview. The theory of metaphorical modeling emerged in the USand now it is developed in Russian linguistics. Some investigations of conceptualization and conceptual metaphor were published in Kazakh linguistics. Animal features are sometimes used in the process of conceptualizing of the man’s inner world. This paper discusses the problem of zoomorphic signs in the structures of the Russian concept душа and the Kazakh concept жан. The paper aims at identification and description of the metaphorical transfer of animals, birds and insects at the process of concept representation in texts. The paper is based on a comparative and typological approach. The theoretical significance of the study is due to the naive picture of the world and the study of methods of language interpretation in the Russian and Kazakh languages. Practical significance is determined by the possibility of using the research results in the study of the Russian language by Kazakh students.

The paper considers the significance of a particular form of charitable activities: nominal grants – for the development of secondary education inWestern Siberia. The grant terms defined by the donors (territorial, religious, caste and other) are analyzed and presented. The purpose of grants and causes of introducing new scholarships are outlines (they were: anniversaries, expression of loyalty to the emperor, the desire to perpetuate one’s name, Christian generosity and other). The paper researches not only the role of individual benefactors, but also that of various groups of population, the community and local authorities who organized targeted scholarship assistance to students of high schools for boys and girls and vocational schools. The study revealed that both the local government and the civil society were actively involved in the process, which was most notable in the period of rapid socio-economic development of the region in the second decade of the 20th century. However, a comparative analysis of the West Siberian school district with the European part of the Empire and, in particular, with the Warsaw school district, suggests that this form of philanthropy in Siberia and did not have enough time to develop widely before the emergence of the Soviet power.

The paper analyzes several polymorphic creatures found on the rocks ofMountTepsey(Krasnoturansky District of Krasnoyarsk Region), which combine the features of ungulates, carnivores, birds and other creatures. All of them are dated within the Scythian period. The main focus is on the character, dicovered on Tepsey II in 2014, which differs from the others as it represents two connected beings of similar origin: the croup of the the main character (deer) is where the head of another one (also a deer) ‘grows’. The paper presents numerous analogies and makes the principal conclusion that the region was inhabited by artists of ‘Pazyryk’ traditions, which seems to be very important not only for understanding the artistic component of the era, but mainly for historical reconstructions.

Part II of the paper reveals the peculiarities of theCentral Asianomads’ governance system in the 6th – 13th centuries in relation to the nomadic communities’ complexity. The research compares the governance characteristics on the tribe level in nomadic chiefdoms and early nomads’ state formations during the period of their emergence. The paper demonstrates that the transformation of nomads’ governance system bases consisted not only in replacing one governance practice with another but in combining some more archaic and developed forms of political activity. The comparative and functional study showed that the traditional attitudes and acts related to the tribe governance experience remained significant and played the main role at times during the transition to more complicated organisation of political regimes in the Middle Ages nomads’ societites. The innovative tribal governance institutions in nomads’ imperial politities were not stable without a fiscal exploitation of the settled population, towns, trading and administrative apparatus hierarchy.

The research objective consists in an assessment of possible changes in the market at realization of various marketing strategies based on change of quality standards of goods properties. The paper considers the marketing strategies which are applied depending on concentration of marketing efforts considering psychological estimates of goods properties by consumers. Successful realization of the company’s marketing strategy allows to influence the consumer’s choice and respectively to change the situation in the market in the more beneficial way. Marketing strategies represent sequences of marketing actions realized during a certain period of time. When choosing a marketing strategy, it is important to assess the situation in the market at the moment of time, and also to forecast. This paper considers the marketing strategies whose realization causes change in standards of goods properties. The methodology of research is presented by carrying out a series of dynamic experiments. Dynamic experiments imply change of quality standards of goods properties as a result of applied marketing actions within a marketing strategy. In each series of experiments realization of a certain marketing strategy for assessment of the situation in the market depending on its application is considered. Thr marketing strategy considered within an experiment is opposed to other strategies. Depending on applied marketing strategy on the basis of complex probability model it is possible to define changes in the market and possible shares. As a result of dynamic experiments the most effective marketing strategy for both players of the market is revealed. It is the strategy of maximum intensification of marketing efforts. When implementing this marketing strategy for the improvement of quality indicators of goods properties, the quality of the applied marketing action is important. The results of the research can be used in theoretical and practical marketing.

The paper provides an overview of concepts and theories developing the problem of value orientations in the context of ethnic socialization. The author emphasizes the relevance of researching value orientations of the personality and assimilation of traditional values and novation in the context of globalization. The necessity of considering the system of value orientations as a criterion for the success of ethnic socialization is substantiated. It is noted that the assimilation of values of ethnic communities promotes formation of positive ethnic identity, and the decline in the importance of traditional values leads to a blurring of ethnic identity, the loss of connection with traditional culture. The paper highlights the negative trends in the structure of value orientations of the young generation, in terms of their lack of formation, disintegration, loss of traditional values and the meaning of life. Solving these problems is seen in the transition to a value-semantic paradigm of education in creating certain prerequisites for filling individual sense into the information about the humanistic values, in developing psychological and pedagogical foundations of education of personality characteristics that combine the best features of a particular ethnic group, the Russian people as a whole, and human values.

Modern conditions require prompt response to rapidly changing market conditions, the ability to develop and introduce new management techniques and technologies. In this situation, it is necessary to develop the best approach to identifying and assessing opportunities for the development of innovative potential of the company, as it is a basic condition for the successful development of the organization. The purpose of the paper is to develop the indicators to assess the innovative potential of the organization. The author suggests determining the innovative capacity of the organization based on the index, coefficient, comparative methods, the complex and system analysis, considering it in the context of technological, marketing, organizational and investment potential. The paper proposed to analyze the technological potential of the organization with the innovative capabilities of fixed assets, intangible assets and resources, introduction of new technologies and environmental safety operation of the enterprise. In assessing the marketing potential it is recommended to analyze consumer demand and competitiveness. Established indicators characterizing the institutional potential of the enterprise are the optimal and dynamic organizational structure, including information, research and promotional units, collective susceptibility to innovation and introduction of new technologies. Among the indicators of investment potential, sources of funding for the company, its financial stability, business activity and solvency should be taken into account. The defined indicators provide an opportunity not only to establish the innovation potential of the organization, but also to timely regulate its activities through the introduction of the most promising innovations.

The paper deals with the regularities of scientific interpretation of legal terms. To realize this purpose, we compared the scientific definitions of the two legal terms: “presumption of innocence” and “authentic interpretation of the law”. On the one hand, scientific studies, reflect the searching, epistemological content associated with the informal interpretation of law, and, on the other hand, dictionaries reflect the normative content associated with the formal interpretation of law. The paper shows that the terms in research papers and monographs operate according to the laws of scientific communication, among which due to the impact of the inevitable scientific pluralism. Scientific interpretation of the phenomena designated by such terms as “presumption of innocence” and “authentic interpretation of the law” in the dictionary comes from the foundations, giving impetus to centripetal tendencies, and in the monographs – to centrifugal ones. In the field of scientific interpretation of the phenomena there is an outstanding resistant part having a tendency to become normative.

The paper studies the coverage of the activities of the anti-Bolshevik movement’s foreign allies in the Civil War inRussia. As an example, foreign affairs withGreat Britainare considered. The research is based on the materials of «Siberian Herald» – the main official newspaper of the Provisional Siberian Government. The main scientists who studied this scientific field are: N. A. Glushchenko, I. P. Koldomasov, P. V. Nesterenko, E. Yu. Sergeyev But it should be noted that the image of the anti-bolshevik movement’s allies was poorly covered in the periodicals.

Finally, the conclusion is made stating that receiving military aid was necessary for the Provisional Siberian Government. In view of this «Siberian Herald» wrote only positive pieces aboutGreat Britain.

The paper discusses the background and development of modern concepts of interpersonal perception that influenced the practice of empirical studies of the accuracy of interpersonal perception. From this perspective, the paper analyzes the content of such approaches as the social relations model (D. Kenny), the social accuracy model (J. Biesanz), the theory of pragmatic accuracy (W. Swann), calibration hypothesis (E. Tenney) and the theory of realistic accuracy (D. Funder). It is noted that the general principle underlying the data concepts was the increased attention to contextual characteristics of different levels of generality of the process of interpersonal perception, which have a significant impact on its accuracy. In conclusion, the authors state that, despite the accumulated mass of empirical data, the problem of accuracy of interpersonal perception is far from being resolved, and outline the possible future lines of its theoretical and empirical analysis.

The paper addresses the under-studied issue of ethnic relationship of resentatives of various peoples and nationalities who moved to the Siberian village during mass colonization ofWestern Siberia. Considerable attention is paid to places of compact moving of the indigenous and settling peoples, to the introduced national traditions and customs and their further adaptation in the conditions of consolidation. The paper describes Priishimye peasants, their cultural habits and household preferences which developed as a result of long-term cultural exchange between the indigeneous residents and new settlers. The concept of “Ishimye peasanta” included not only the representatives Malorossiya and Velikorossiya, but also Tatars, Siberian Bukharans, Poles, Jews, Germans, Balts. After studying a wide range of archival materials and pre-revolutionary sources on Priishimye history, the author concludes that the state and local authorities in every possible way tried not to allow chauvinism, racism, anti-semitism and ethnocentrism of Russians over other peoples and nationalities living in theterritoryofTobolsk Vicegerencyand Province. The research has interdisciplinary character as it raises the questions of history, studies of local lore, economy, ethnography, sociology and religious studies.

The paper is devoted to the study of criminal liability for purchase, storage, transportation, processing for sale or distribution of knowingly illegally cut timber. The paper aimes to consider the criminal law characteristics of this offense and help law enforcers in classifying the crime correctly guided not only by criminal law, but also by the rules governing the turnover of timber.

Russia supports healthy food policy at the state level. The functional food market is likely to become the most promising and competitive sector of global food economy. Consumer demand for these products is steadily growing: the volume of demand for functional food products will reach 17 trillion rubles by 2027. However, Russian food science needs more research in this area to catalyze import substitution. The Omsk Agrarian University has numerous projects that are meant to increase the competitiveness of the domestic functional food industry.

The paper describes the semantic content of sound names in modern English. The list of sound names includes oneword lexemes and phrasemes. The respective terms suggested by the author are phononyms and phonophrasemes. The whole word-stock representing the sound universe makes up the world sound image (WSI). Nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs participate in the process of WSI formation. According to our way of thinking, phononyms are to be studied within the special subject of‘phononymy’ that must be part and parcel of lexicology.Besides, the paper investigates the linguistic particulars of sound genesis because it (sound production) actually offers a special mode of sound naming. The other mode of sound naming is offered by the notions of sound perception. To meet the needs of description, the author has introduced a number of new terms such as ‘phononym’, ‘phononymy’, ‘acoustive’, ‘actor’, ‘reactor’, etc.

Numerous semi-structured documents are used daily in education and research activities at universities. Dealing with metadata rather than documents themselves is one of the ways of processing documents uniformly. However, as far as many semi-structured documents are concerned, this method is considered to be efficient only in case of the existing procedure of automatic extraction of documents content metadata. The procedure includes 3 stages: document class identification, clusterization of the documents whose classes could not be identified, extraction of metadata from the documents of identified classes. The paper is dedicated to possible solutions for the first stage, i.e. automatic classification of semi-structured documents. The paper includes the definition of a semi-structured document, criteria of methods efficiency classification, comparative analysis of different methods regarding 5 top criteria. To estimate 2 additionally developped criteria the following methods are used: multilayer neural networks, Rocchio algorithm, k-nearest neighbor method. Based on the analysis results, the neural networks method appears to be the most efficient in the context of accuracy and speed correlation. However, classification accuracy is not enough when dealing with semi-structured documents. The authors suppose the accuracy of the methods can be improved by using not only key words but also determined document structure during classification process.
