ABIOTIC PECULIARITIES OF SMALL RIVERS OF THE STEPPE ZONE OF THE KRASNODAR REGION
DescriptionSteppe rivers (Eja, Beysug, Chelbas et al.) occupy a vast Azov-Kuban plain, whose total length reaches 4800 km and catchment area of the entire hydrological network of up to 24 000 km. Dams and silting increase flooding of agricultural land and many rivers severely degraded with a reduction of its water content and its quality. Landscapes of the steppe zone occupy a middle reaches of the largest rivers - Beysug River, Chelbas, Eja and differ of transaccumulative character and accompanied by numerous beams and small slope that prone to weak erosion. The valleys of the steppe rivers are characterized by high and gentle slopes and floodplains of river slightly wavy and their deep areas are swamped. As a parent rocks it is dominated by loess clay and clay. Features of soil cover are determined by topography. Black soils were formed on the plain, eroded and meadow-black soils are on the slopes, and meadow-bog soils - in areas with stagnant water. The climate is characterized by moderate winter and hot summers with insufficient moistened soil and low air humidity. The vegetation of the river systems of the steppe zone is divided into marsh, meadow, meadow-steppe vegetations and vegetations of saltmarshes. The ichthyofauna of small rivers is very scanty that is determined by the hydrological regime. Plowing of lands along the water bodies, the development of wind and water erosion is typical for steppe rivers; therefore siltation and overgrowing of rivers are widespread

TECHNOLOGICAL SETUP OF A HOPPER FEEDER FOR PIGS
DescriptionConstructive-technological parameters of a hopper feeder have been established. They help to synchronize feeder’s flow and feed consumption by animals. Synchronization of these factors eliminates the initial cause of feed loss during fattening. It was found out that the main influence on feed loss is exerted by shape and geometrical parameters of feedstuff fill at the bottom of feeder, which depend on their physical and mechanical properties and on the feedstuff level in a hopper feeder. The fill balance condition at the bottom of a feeder is provided by compensation of feedstuff weight pressure inside a hopper due to the weight of a surcharge layer. The thickness of layer is proportional to the height of feedstuff volume inside a hopper and does not depend on technological gap between discharging feed line and the bottom of a feeder. It is found out that the discharging feedstuff is distributed throughout the bottom of a feeder. There is a central nonmoving area in the cone shape in alignment with the axis of the discharging feed line. This area functions as a shutter, which reduces the effective area of discharging channel. It is determined that the flow of feedstuff is set by adjusting the technological gap between discharging feed line and its bottom within defined limits. In accordance with physical and mechanical properties of feed this dependence of feedstuff flow allows to determine corresponding functional parameters of discharging feed line in order to meet the needs of a group of fattening animals

TOPONYMICS OF THE KUBAN REGION IN HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL HERITAGE OF THE GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR
DescriptionQuestions, which are considered in the article, have been connected with the role of the Great Patriotic War in the geo- graphical, administrative and territorial name changes in the Kuban region. It is pointed out that the place names are valuable research material for the most complete study of the problem of historical and cultural heritage of the Great Patriotic War. It is noted that after the Great Patriotic War the situation, where many of the new names of geographical and administrative-territorial objects went counter to the traditional main function of the place name - address and its purpose-to help orientation in space, continued. It is shown that politically sensitive "military" place names, being an important element of the Soviet propaganda and agitation, were necessary for the ideological support of the authorities, but at the same time, allows you to save memory of the Great Victory. "Military" toponymy, which has prevailed since the end of the Great Patriotic War , carried out a living link with the past present and future. New post-war name of streets, squares, parks, alleys of cities and villages of Kuban dedicated to heroes and events of the Great Patriotic War, helped to preserve a sense of patriotism and belonging to the victory over fascism. The conclusion is that the central government continued to use after the Great Patriotic War the place names as one of the new genres of advocacy and created a new concept of "military" place name, one of the essential component of which is a moral burden that was to have political overtones

FORECASTING OF LOSSES OF POWER IN THE POWER SYSTEM OF RUSSIA
DescriptionThe growth of breakdown in electric networks of Russia has been followed by the growth of industrial and domestic power consumption taking place in our country in the last decade. This situation is directly connected with the high percentage of outdated equipment in electric networks. Such thing as a loss of power is directly connected with deterioration of equipment and breakdown. Average losses of power in the country are at the level of 1980-s, despite the turning point to the side of reduction outlined recently. Forecasting is one of the activities that contribute to their reduction, as it allows identifying adverse trends and calculating the effect of different kinds of technological arrangements. The visible growth of interest in the intellectualization of education and in the different fields of industry should not avoid the electric power field, which is quite conservative. The development of the concept of a “smart network” and its implementation would help to improve the reliability of electric networks. One of the signs of such a network is the possibility to assess the current situation automatically and forecasting of its parameters in the future, including energy losses. This article examines the main factors affecting the value of power losses, the analysis of the most popular methods of forecasting is conducted, and conclusion about the prospects of their use to predict the losses of power has been made based on the results of this analysis

GENERAL SEMANTICS OF A. KORZYBSKI AS A TEACHING METHOD OF "AWARE OF ABSTRACTION"
DescriptionThe article is devoted to the well-known American logician and teacher A. Korzybski, the activity of which was aimed at enhancing the human psyche in the direction of non-identification and non-elementalizm. He called the proposed section of the science of General semantics, and later he created Institute of General semantics in the United States. Scientists believe that human consciousness is limited by the capability of the nervous system and by the use of language. Korzybski supposed his pedagogical purpose to teach people to improve the awareness of abstraction, the ability to see the structure, not only empirical fact. To distinguish between the structures of abstraction it introduces the concept of «map» - a diagram model, any ideological system, all that is formulated people. Korzybski denies the law of identity, which is a global challenge to the laws of thinking: «Whatever you say the thing is, it isn’t». He uses this idea not as a universal code, but as a teaching method for people able to find the way to think under conditions of uncertainty and probability. It is so called «modus operandi» for changing people’s way of thinking. In his work, Science and Sanity, he presents his technique; develop an understanding of his «non-aristotelian» system, which includes the incertainty, nonlocality, nonlinearity, the dependence of the environment. In this regard, it offers every statement be considered as a probability. So every statement must be considered as a probabilistic statement. A. Korzybsky and some modern scientists see the permanent uncertainty not like a problem but a tremendous opportunity for creation and research. In «non-aristotelian» Korzybsky’s theory we have to see the opportunity as the first reality and personal activity as the best language

10.00.00 Philological sciences
DescriptionThe article focuses on one of the aspects of The Russian Felony Idea revealed during answer to the question of affiliation to the Russian Master Felons’ Brotherhood. This aspect are the limits of candor during the answer along with their reasons. The work also aims at the analysis of the strategies of discursive behavior during an inter-level contact between a law enforcement unit officer and a felon. In the article, the author uses a model to analyze the Russian criminal discourse that was proven earlier on the basis of a synthesis of the ideas suggested by L.N. Gumilev, U. Eco, and O.V. Leszczak. This model made it possible to prove the existence of the Thieves’ Law in a written form with further division into the Old Thieves’ Law and the New Thieves’ Law that differ from each other in material form of their existence. Moreover, it was possible to shift back the moment of its formation up to hundreds of years earlier than it was believed before. The material gathered by the author in conversations is verified on the basis of open-access sources; it allows the author not to mention the personal data of respondents’, who live in different European countries, and totally eliminates such possibility. In this research, the author focuses on one and only aspect, other related aspects are taken into consideration according to their necessity for the aims of the work

TESTAMENT IN EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES: THEORY AND PRACTICE
DescriptionThe article explains the relevance of testaments, committed in extraordinary circumstances. The authors note, that the form of such testaments is considerably simpler. Nevertheless, it is compensated by necessity of further confirmation of fact that testament was committed in extraordinary circumstances by court. The conditions of validity of such testaments exposed to a detailed analysis in the article. The authors emphasize that for the recognition of circumstances as extraordinary, such circumstances should be unusual, exceptional, and create immediate threat of life, not threat to health of a citizen. The article contains the analysis of court decisions, which counter to these provisions. The study notes that the legislation does not allow for opportunity to commit testament in the extraordinary circumstances using the technical equipment. It is a gap in the legislation, considering the current conditions. The authors describe international experience of drawing up testaments verbally and came to the conclusion that such form is not acceptable in the Russian legislation. The article also notes the need for a more precise definition of “extraordinary circumstances” applied to inheritance relations. By the authors’ viewpoint, serious illness of the testator can’t be classified as extraordinary circumstance. The study is not only based on analysis of theoretical works of scientists, also on law enforcement practices. The authors of the article identified actual problems of current legislation and came to the conclusion of the necessity to improve the modern civil law
