Большинство специалистов согласятся с тем, что Васо Абаев является величайшим ученым, областью научных интересов которого было, прежде всего, осетиноведение, рассматривавшееся им под углом иранистики. Уже при жизни он, несомненно, пользовался международной известностью и признанием среди иранистов, о чем свидетельствует публикация 540-страничного юбилейного сборника в его честь, выпущенного Итальянским институтом стран Африки и Востока в Риме [1]. Но в какой степени эта репутация основывалась на том, что его западные коллеги действительно имели возможность глубоко вникать в содержание его исследований? Из огромного количества материалов, созданных Абаевым за его долгую жизнь, практически все были написаны на русском языке, которым мало кто из иранистов владеет как на Западе, так и в самом Иране. Если говорить о переводах, то было переведено и опубликовано лишь несколько статей и одна книга по грамматике, и они, к тому же, существуют в крошечном количестве копий, хранящихся в университетских и государственных библиотеках. Принимая во внимание огромный вклад Абаева в науку, вызывает сожаление тот факт, что большинство иранистов за пределами бывшего Советского Союза имели такой ограниченный доступ к его трудам. В статье поднимается актуальная проблема интеграции русскоязычной иранистики в мировое академическое пространство, вскрываются основные причины слабой вовлеченности советских/российских осетиноведческих исследований в международную иранистику. Кроме того, дается краткий обзор тех немногих работ по осетинской тематике, которые вышли за пределами России. Most experts will agree that Vaso Abaev is the greatest scientist, whose area of ​​scientific interests was, first of all, Ossetian studies, which he considered from the angle of Iranian studies. During his lifetime, he undoubtedly enjoyed international fame and recognition among Iranian scholars, as evidenced by the publication of a 540-page anniversary collection in his honor, published by the Italian Institute of African and Oriental Countries in Rome [1]. But to what extent was this reputation based on the fact that his Western colleagues did indeed have the opportunity to delve deeply into the content of his research? Of the huge amount of materials created by Abaev during his long life, almost all were written in Russian, which few Iranian scholars speak either in the West or in Iran itself. In terms of translation, only a few articles and one book on grammar have been translated and published, and they also exist in tiny numbers of copies held in university and government libraries. Given Abaev's enormous contribution to science, it is regrettable that most Iranian scholars outside the former Soviet Union had such limited access to his writings. The article raises the actual problem of integrating Russian-language Iranian studies into the world academic space, reveals the main reasons for the weak involvement of Soviet / Russian Ossetian studies in international Iranian studies. In addition, a brief overview is given of the few works on Ossetian topics that have appeared outside of Russia.

In January 2002, a rust was observed on leaves and stems of the weed Sonchus oleraceus L. (annual sowthistle) in Santa Barbara, CA. Infected plants were collected in Santa Barbara and Monterey counties, CA. Specimens were examined microscopically and compared with a published description (1) and herbarium specimens at the USDA National Fungus Collection, Beltsville, Maryland. The fungus was identified as Miyagia pseudosphaeria (Mont.) Jorst. based on characteristics of the uredinia and urediniospores. The uredinial sori were subepidermal, erumpent, and single or in groups. Sori were surrounded by peripheral, laterally connected, chestnut brown paraphyses that initially enclosed the developing urediniospores and eventually opened partially at the apex, breaking the host epidermis and remaining as a wall surrounding the spores. The urediniospores were ellipsoid, ovoid, or pyriform with yellowish, often granular, contents and measured 21.5 to 43 × 17 to 26.5 μm. The urediniospore walls were hyaline and finely echinulate and 2.5 to 3.5 μm thick with germ pores sometimes evident in median view. The paraphyses were 70 to 140 × 6 to 8 μm, thick-walled, hyaline below, chestnut brown above, and often somewhat wider or dichotomously branched at the apex. To test pathogenicity, a spore suspension (4.7 × 104 spores/ml) was sprayed onto 7-week-old annual sowthistle plants. Plants were incubated in a dew chamber for 48 h and maintained in a greenhouse at 22 to 24°C. Signs of rust were observed after 2 weeks, and microscopic examination confirmed that the same fungus was present. Uninoculated control plants did not develop rust. Using the same method, plants of prickly sowthistle (S. asper (L.) Hill) were inoculated and also developed the disease. All inoculation experiments were conducted two times and the results were the same. The rust was found on almost all annual sowthistle plants examined in Santa Barbara County, especially well-nourished specimens growing as weeds in irrigated landscapes, vegetable fields, or in container nurseries. Diseased plants were found in and around vegetable fields in Monterey County. M. pseudosphaeria is macrocyclic, autoecious, and known only on Sonchus spp. It has been reported from northern Africa, China, Europe, Japan, New Zealand, and the former Soviet Union. To our knowledge, this is the first report of M. pseudosphaeria in the Americas. Voucher specimens have been deposited in the U.S. National Fungus Collection (BPI 842025, 842055 to 842060, and 842230). Images can be viewed at nt.ars-grin.gov . References: (1) M. Wilson and D. M.

In the article the essence of the neo-imperial ideology of the «Russian world», is revealed, which appearance is connected with the necessity of the modern Russia`s expansionist policy in ideological substantiation after the collapse of the Bolshevik`s empire commune – the Soviet Union. Moreover, the basis for resuscitation and the creation of a new empire is still preserved. In the newly created states from the post-Soviet republics, the vast majority of former party leaders came to the power, who sought little or no effort to eliminate the old, in essence, authoritariantotalitarian system of political government, almost all of them sought to preserve the economic ties that were established in a single economic complex between the republics of the former Soviet Union. The Union of Independent States (CIS), established in December 1991, provided additional opportunities for the new neo-empire. Under such conditions, pro-Kremlin theorists-statesmen were actively involved in the development of ideological and theoretical foundations for the new ideology. However, the very name «Russian world» was introduced into scientific and political circulation only in 2005. Since then, the spatial boundaries of the ideology «Russian world» are constantly expanding and now include those countries and peoples «where the Russian language is heard». Thus, the main goal of the new ideology «Russian world» is to include in the Russian neo-empire not only Russia itself, but all of Russia abroad, ie «almost a third - a billion Russian-speaking people or almost every twentieth inhabitant of the Earth» (O. Batanova). Thus, according to the great powers, it will be possible to correct the geopolitical mistake associated with the collapse of the Soviet Union. It has been proved that the neo-imperial ideology of the «Russian world» is based on Russian ultranationalism, which is permeated by the ideas of pan-Russianism, Russian exclusivity, and strong statehood, which Putin now embodies. This feature of the ideology of the «Russian world» indicates its neo-imperial orientation and geopolitical intentions of the great-power policy of modern Russia.

The study is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of the Ukrainian diaspora’s life in Lithuania. The Ukrainian community in this country has deep historical roots, but as in other countries of the former Soviet Union, it became more active in the late 1980s. From that time community organizations began to be formed, and become important centers of diaspora. They conduct powerful cultural-educational work. They have been spreading and popularizing our cultural traditions for quite some time. Ethnic Ukrainians constantly help their homeland and maintain a positive image of Ukraine in the world. It should also be noted that Ukrainian communities in Lithuania actively influence the transparent coverage of events in Ukraine. But Ukrainians in Lithuania are quickly assimilated and lose their identity. One of the reasons for this is that in the Republic of Lithuania after the restoration of independence, almost all Ukrainians received the citizenship of this state, in contrast to other Baltic countries. Also, the integration of newly arrived Ukrainians into the previously larger Russian community in the country. And according to the latest data, there is a much larger influx of Ukrainians over the last few years, even compared to the Russians. This gives hope that the development of the Ukrainian community will not be pretended. Currently, there is no single research that would compare the life of the Ukrainian community in Lithuania in the modern period. Thus, the systematization and analysis of information about the activities of the Ukrainian community in Lithuania are incredibly relevant.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to survey the attitudes of family doctors to the performance of baseline tests and to determine which doctors perform these tests. SETTING: Family physicians in a continuing medical education programme in Tel Aviv, Israel METHOD: An anonymous questionnaire was distributed focusing on performance of tests by doctors in healthy patients and not as part of a screening programme. RESULTS: Questionnaires were returned by 147 of 165 physicians surveyed (89% response rate). Baseline tests were performed by 98% of respondents: not routinely by 54%, 7% at the patient’s request, and 2% did not perform tests. The decision to perform baseline tests was influenced by the presence of other risk factors of disease (86%), patient age (61%), family history (59%), patient request for tests (24%), and patient sex (20%). The tests performed were blood counts, glucose, renal function tests, urinalysis, liver function tests, and electrocardiograms. Baseline tests were useful in case finding of new illnesses for 49% of physicians and 40% said the tests had proved useful during a subsequent illness. The remainder of the physicians found no use for baseline tests. Physicians from the former Soviet Union were more likely to favour baseline tests. CONCLUSION: Almost all of the physicians in this study reported that they perform baseline tests on most of their patients. Evidence based guidelines for these tests and education of physicians are needed.

This research aims to identify factors associated with marital instability among Jewish and mixed (Jewish and non-Jewish) couples following immigration from the former Soviet Union. Based on the Strangeness Theory and the Model of Acculturation, we predicted that non-Jewish immigrants would be less well adjusted personally and socially to Israeli society than Jewish immigrants and that endogamous Jewish couples would have better interpersonal congruence than mixed couples in terms of personal and social adjustment. The sample included 92 Jewish couples and 92 ethnically-mixed couples, of which 82 couples (40 Jewish, 42 mixed) divorced or separated after immigration and 102 couples (52 Jewish, 50 ethnically mixed) remained married. Significant differences were found between Jewish and non-Jewish immigrants in personal adjustment, and between endogamous and ethnically-mixed couples in the congruence between spouses in their personal and social adjustment. Marital instability was best explained by interpersonal disparity in cultural identity and in adjustment to life in Israel. The findings expand the knowledge on marital outcomes of immigration, in general, and immigration of mixed marriages, in particular.

Point Of Departure

This paper presents Pavlov's contribution to the development of biological-oriented personality theories. Taking a short description of Pavlov's typology of central nervous system (CNS) properties as a point of departure, it shows how, and to what extent, this typology influenced further research in the former Soviet Union as well as in the West. Of special significance for the development of biologically oriented personality dimensions was the conditioned reflex paradigm introduced by Pavlov for studying individual differences in dogs. This paradigm was used by Russian psychologists in research on types of nervous systems conducted in different animal species as well as for assessing temperament in children and adults. Also, personality psychologists in the West, such as Eysenck, Spence, and Gray, incorporated the CR paradigm into their theories. Among the basic properties of excitation and inhibition on which Pavlov's typology was based, strength of excitation and the basic indicator of this property, protective inhibition, gained the highest popularity in arousaloriented personality theories. Many studies have been conducted in which the Pavlovian constructs of CNS properties have been related to different personality dimensions. In current research the behavioral expressions of the Pavlovian constructs of strength of excitation, strength of inhibition, and mobility of nervous processes as measured by the Pavlovian Temperament Survey (PTS) have been related to over a dozen of personality dimensions, mostly referring to temperament.
