Although population of the Caucasus has been studied in a rather detailed way, there are peoples whose anthropological portrait is still incomplete. Among them are the Ingush, one of the oldest autochthonous peoples of the Caucasus. This work presents new material on the dental anthropology of medieval Ingush, collected in 2017 during expeditions to the Jairakh and Sunzhen districts of the Republic of Ingushetia. In the Jairakh district, the investigations were carried out in the crypt complexes of the 15th–18th centuries – Targim, Agikal, Tsori, Salgi, and in Sunzhen region - in crypts near the village of Muzgan. The craniological series of medieval Ingush studied according to the dental anthropology program can be described as belonging to the western range of odontological complexes. Unlike most modern Caucasian groups, it does not belong to gracile forms, but rather to a maturized odontological variant, which has deep roots in the Caucasus. The results once again demonstrate a certain conservatism and stability of the dental system, which preserves morphological traits of ancestral groups longer than other anthropological systems.

In 1964 and 1965, Shen & Tai described two species of calanoids, which they classified in the South American genus Argyrodiaptomus. We examined new material from the terra typica, South China, and show that both species belong in the Asian genus Sinodiaptomus. A biogeographic anomaly is thus corrected. Moreover, the two appear to be sister species and males are morphologically well separable. No intermediate morphotypes have so far been detected. S. cavernicolax (Shen & Tai, 1965), known only from the type locality, was claimed to be cavernicolous, but shows no stygobitic adaptations, and has eyes. It may have been pushed back into the cave environment by its congener S. ferus (Shen & Tai, 1964) with which it coexists in the same lake system. So far, four species of Sinodiaptomus have been found in China: the two mentioned above, i.e., S. cavernicolax only in Longyan Cave of Zhaoqing City, and S. ferus at about five locations, but its range is limited to a small part of Guangdong Province. All five other species of Sinodiaptomus, among which the other two that occur (also) in China, also occupy small to very small ranges, with the type species (S. chaffanjoni Richard, 1897) only living in North China, and S. indicus Kiefer, 1936 and S. mahanandiensis Reddy & Radhakrishna, 1980 confined to South India (Reddy & Radhakrishna, 1980). S. valkanovi Kiefer, 1938 from Japan is invasive (Ueda & Ohtsuka, 1998; Makino et al., 2010). S. sarsi Rylov, 1923, distributed in Japan, China, and most of Mongolia, is separated by a wide disjunction from a group of populations in Iran, the Caucasus, and East Anatolia. This western group of populations might be a separate species and deserves more study.

Modern aeolian landscapes occupy large territories in Transbaikalia. The Barguzin depression bottom is an area with sandy lands (Ivanov, 1960). This depression is one of the largest around the Lake Baikal (Florensov et al., 1965). Its internal field are accumulative surfaces, formed by Pleistocene sands, so-called “kujtuns” (Forest, Suvinsky, Lower, and Upper), are located as stripes of variable width, replacing each other from the north-west to the south-east (Fig. 2 A-D). Aeolian processes are most dynamic on weakly sod and bare sands: in the lower part of the Argada river, in the basins of Ina, Ulan-Burga, Zhargalanty rivers, and in the marginal parts of the steppe “kuytuns” (Fig. 3, 4). The results of aeolian processes are dunes and ridge-basin relief. This publication continues the series of papers (Dulepova, Korolyuk, 2013, 2015; Dulepova, 2016) on psammophytic vegetation of Baikal Siberia (Irkutsk region, the Republic of Buryatia, and the Trans-Baikal region). The paper is based on the analysis of 116 geobotanical relevés obtained in the course of the field studies in 2009–2014 in the Barguzinsky and Kurumkansky districts of the Republic of Buryatia. Four relevés are taken from the literature (Shchipek et al., 2002). Three diagnostic species of the class Brometea korotkiji Hilbig et Koroljuk 2000 (Bromopsis korotkiji, Corispermum sibiricum, Carex sabulosa) occur on the studied sandy lands. Among species of the order Oxytropidetalia lanatae Brzeg et Wika 2001 (Brzeg, Wika, 2001) such species as Artemisia ledebouriana, Chamaerhodos grandiflora, Oxytropis lanata have high constancy and often dominate in communities. When comparing new syntaxa with the previously described alliances (Oxytropidion lanatae Hilbig et Koroljuk 2000, Aconogonion chlorochryseum Dulepova et Korolyuk 2013 and Festucion dahuricae Dulepova et Korolyuk 2015) it was found that they are closer to the alliance Festucion dahuricae. However, Artemisia xanthochroa, Caragana buriatica, Festuca dahurica, Thymus baicalensis, and Ulmus pumila, commom in the Selenga river middle mountains, are absent in the study area (Korolyuk, 2017). The psammophytic fraction of the flora of the study area is not very peculiar. Only two endemic species (Oxytropis bargusinensis and Aconogonon bargusinense) are recorded on the sands of the Barguzin depression. 5 associations, 3 subassociations and 3 communities of the class Brometea korotkiji and 1 association of the class Cleistogenetea squarrosae Mirk. et al. ex Korotkov et al. 1991 (Table 1) are established as new.

According to cluster analysis (Fig. 9) of data from Baikal Siberia, Mongolia, Tuva, and Inner Mongolia (China) the diversity of psammophytic vegetation is mainly determined by the sand land geography, which is reflected at the alliance, order, and class levels. The dynamics of overgrowth of sands is well traced at the association, subassociation, and community levels. Cluster analysis confirmed the attribution of most of the described syntaxa from the Barguzin and Selenga basins in the alliance Festucion dahuricae.

Aceh Tengah District is one of the districts that have slum settlements. Based on the Decree of the Regent of Central Aceh No. 188.55 / 775 / DCKP / 2014, the determination of housing and slums in Central Aceh District includes 23 villages in 6 sub-districts, with a total area of 189.59 Ha. Bale Atu Village, located in Lut Tawar Subdistrict, is one of the very slum hamlets with a value of 4.22 and has a slum area of 0.56 Ha out of a total area of 2.5 Ha. Besides, Bale Atu Village is located in the center of Takengon City and a trade center as a strategic area, which must be immediately addressed so that slum areas do not expand. This study aims to evaluate the current level of a slum in the village of Bale Atu, and identify the current form of slum settlement. This research uses qualitative methods through observation and interviews and quantitative methods through a weighting system. Evaluation of the level of slum and handling is carried out based on the Technical Guidelines (Juknis) of the Regulation of the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing of the Republic of Indonesia (Permen PUPR RI) No. 02 / PRT / M / 2016. Evaluation of the level of slum includes aspects of slum conditions, aspects of land legality, and other aspects of consideration. The form of handling is based on the typology of slums and the physical handling of infrastructure. The results showed that the slum level of the settlements in Bale Atu Village was light slum with a total score of 23, and the slum level of all hamlets was a light slum where the total score of Dusun Barat was 31, Dusun Timur was 33, Dusun Utara was 29, and Dusun Selatan of 21. The form of slum settlement in Bale Atu Village is based on typology by handling hilly typology, and based on physical infrastructure, it is carried out through a restoration pattern. The handling of slum settlements in Bale Atu Village and all its hamlets is included in the 3rd priority scale of handling in Laut Tawar District.

Introduction. One of the regions of compact settlement of the Mordovian people is the Republic of Bashkortostan. The Mordovian population of the region was formed during the resettlement migration process of the ethnic groups to the Bashkir lands in the 17th and early 20th centuries. There is a small stand-out group of Mordva-Erzya in Bashkiria. They call themselves Murza and they have their own identity. They live in the village of Kozhay-Andreevo in the Tuimazinskiy district and in the village of Kozhay-Maximovo in the Ermekeevskiy district. Materials and Methods. This work attempts to reconstruct the history of formation of the class community of Mordva-Murza and to identify its ethno-cultural features. The study is based on the principle of historicism; the main methods are historical-genetic, comparative-historical, and problematic-chronological. Results. Based on the study of published sources and literature, it is shown the chronology and the main stages of the formation of the Mordva-Murza community in Bashkiria. It was revealed, this community was formed on the basis of a resettlement group of the Mordovian sluzhilye-served people in the 18th century. Field ethnographic materials testify to their ethno-cultural identity. Discussion and Conclusion. Mordva living in the villages under consideration can be defined as a separate ethnic-class community, which has its own identity, self-name, specific linguistic and ethno-cultural characteristics. In their language and culture, it is interweaved both Erzya and Moksha traits. Almost disintegrated in the 1980s the community of the “Kazhay Murzas” began to revive in the year of 2000. The observations show the desire of the inhabitants and natives from these villages to preserve and develop their “Murza language” and traditions.

Introduction. In domestic historiography for many decades personal subsidiary plots were viewed as some rudiment of a non-socialist form of farming in the country’s agricultural sector. In accordance with the political principles of party ideologists, most researchers in every possible way emphasized the futility of the personal subsidiary plots and the inevitability of their soon withering away. And at the beginning of the XXI century they re-main a kind of “islands” of small business in the countryside and the main form of earnings for the total mass of rural workers. The main objective of this study is a comprehensive analysis of the current state of personal subsidiary plots of the rural population of Tatarstan in the context of determining the main socio-economic indicators in relation to the study area; identification of the most important development parameters of this form of small business. Materials and Methods. The scientific study is based on source materials from various government departments (including the Tatarstan Statistical Office), newspaper and journal periodicals, as well as data from historical, economic and sociological literature. When writing the article, the author was guided by the principles of historicism, complexity and objectivity. The research is based on the methods of historical science: problem-chronological, comparative-historical, systemic, etc. Results. During the study, the current state and indicators of the development of personal subsidiary plots of the rural population of the Republic of Tatarstan were systematically reviewed, in particular, their participation in the structure of regional gross income. It has been established that the main branches of economic activity of peasant farmsteads are vegetable growing and productive animal husbandry. It is proved that the strengthening of the positions of large investors in the village led to the curtailment of certain branches of production of personal subsidiary plots and their transition to a consumer rate of management. Discussion and Conclusion. The intensive development of various forms of small business in the post-perestroika period, including personal subsidiary plots of the population, intensified the market diversification of the economy of the agricultural sector in general and of high-quality peasant farmsteads in particular. During the forced dismantling of the collective farm and state farm management systems and the formation of new forms of entrepreneurship, peas-ant farmsteads became not only the economic basis for the existence of the rural population, but also a form of self-preservation of many settlements.

Bengkok land is village property in the form of village land. This bent land is widely known as village treasury land or village property. The definition of bent land itself is not explicitly regulated in statutory regulations. The definition of crooked land is implicitly regulated by statutory regulations. Based on the explanation of Article 72 of Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages (hereinafter referred to as the Village Law), it is stated that bent land is the result of business. The provisions in Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages indicate that Village Treasury Land or village assets which include bent land are certified in the name of the Village Government. In addition, the Regulation of the Minister of Home Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia Number 1 of 2016 concerning Village Asset Management, regulates the same thing as Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages. This research approach uses a statutory approach (statute approach) and a conceptual approach (conceptual approach). Based on the research results, which crooked land that is starting to lose its existence is certified in the name of the Village Government

Abstrak Desa adalah suatu lembaga Negara yang merupakan kesatuan masyarakat yang memiliki batas-batas wilayah yang berwenang untuk mengatur dan mengurus kepentingan masyarakat setempat, berdasarkan asal usul dan adat istiadat setempat yang diakui dan dihormati dalam sistem Pemerintahan Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia. Salah satu wujud kewenangan desa untuk mengatur kepentingan masyarakatn melalui pembentukkan produk hukum desa dalam bentuk peraturan desa (Perdes). Salah satu tujuan dari pembentukkan produk hukum desa untuk menertibkan penyelenggaraan pemerintahan desa serta mengatur pelaksanaan pembangunan dan pelayanan umum. Peraturan desa yang ada di Desa Buluh Cina hanya mencakup pada perdes tentang Anggaran Belanja Desa dan Bumdes. Melihat dari potensi wisata yang dimiliki Desa Buluh Cina terdapat Danau, Hutan lindung serta keramba ikan. Jika tidak ada aturan yang mengikat maka lambat laun  akan memicu konflik di masyarakat terkait pengelolaan potensi wisata. Oleh karena itu, pemahaman yang benar terhadap fungsi, kedudukan, dan tata cara pembuatan produk hukum desa menjadi hal penting yang harus diketahui oleh aparat pemerintah desa, agar produk hukum yang dibuat benar-benar dapat berfungsi sebagaimana mestinya dan tidak bertentangan dengan peraturan perundangan yang berlaku. Kata Kunci: Desa, Pendampingan, Peraturan   Abstract The village is a state institution which is a community unit that has territorial boundaries that are authorized to regulate and manage the interests of the local community, based on local origins and customs that are recognized and respected in the system of Government of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. One form of village authority to regulate community interests through the formation of village legal products in the form of village regulations (Perdes). One of the goals of the formation of village legal products is to bring order in the administration of village government and to regulate the implementation of development and public services. The village regulations in Desa Buluh Cina only cover village regulations on Village Expenditures and Bumdes. Seeing from the tourism potential that is owned by the Village of China there are lakes, protected forests and fish cages. If there are no binding rules, it will gradually trigger conflicts in the community related to the management of tourism potential. Therefore, a correct understanding of the functions, position and procedures for making village legal products is an important thing that must be known by village government officials, so that legal products that are made can function properly and are not in conflict with applicable laws and regulations.   Keywords: Village, Assistance, Regulation

The article performs the current discussion of such categories as local and global in modern anthropology and suggests the option of using categories for the modern sociocultural reality of Dagestan society. The positions of leading researchers, deconstructing the concepts of “locality” and “community”, offering an alternative view of a traditional society rooted in a particular place, are demonstrated. Deterritorized societies in the face of significant social changes in the world (migration, including transnational and translocal, as well as the process of globalization) are becoming a new form of social interaction, where physical locality gives way to other categories linking people into relevant communities. In relation to the Dagestan realities, it is proposed to consider local deterritized societies through the prism of the conceptual metaphor “global village”. The factors contributing to the formation of such deterritorialized communities are shown. It is also shown the example of such a community - the village of Bezhta situated on the bordeland with the Republic of Georgia. A look at the complex of physical localities united by belonging to this mountain village (the village itself, resettlement villages on the plain of Dagestan, families located outside the republic in labor migration and living a translocal life, and also to a lesser extent the village of Chantliskuri in Georgia) as version of the "global village".
