Кавказ» соответственно в 1843 и 1846 гг. Статья ученого запечатлела как актуальное состояние религиозных верований осетин первой половины XIX в., так и отношение к ним самого автора, сформированное под влиянием господствующих на тот момент те­орий происхождения недавно присоединенного к Российской империи кавказского этноса. Не все ритуалы и верования осетин были поняты и описаны ученым правильно. Однако, ввиду отсутствия других подобных исследований, именно формулировки и выводы Шегрена, как об этом сви­детельствуют источники, вплоть до конца XIX в. служили одним из ос­новных ориентиров для представителей администрации края в выборе направления религиозно-просветительской политики по отношению к осетинам. Многие осетинские ритуалы и культы нашли свое правильное объяснение лишь в трудах ученых последующего поколения, таких как В.Б. Пфафф, В.Ф. Миллер и Ю.А. Кулаковский. Но, несмотря на все недостатки, ставшие впоследствии очевидными, статья А.М. Шегрена является уни­кальным источником знаний о религиозных верованиях осетин и заслу­живает пристального внимания. Осетия не была единственным местом пребывания ученого во время его командировки на Кавказ, а верования осетин не были основной сферой интереса А.М. Шегрена. Для правильного понимания тональности автора статьи и сделанных им выводов необ­ходимо рассмотрение публикации Шегрена в контексте общекавказских явлений первой половины XIX в. This article analyzes the publications of A. M. Sjogren devoted to the religious beliefs of the Ossetians in the periodicals «Mayak» and «Kavkaz» in 1843 and 1846, respectively. The article of the scientist reviews both the current state of religious beliefs of the Ossetians in the first half of the XIXth century, and the author’s at­titude to them, which was formed under the influence of the prevailing theories of the origin of the Caucasian ethnic group recently integrated into the Russian Em­pire. Not all the rituals and beliefs of the Ossetians were understood and described correctly by the scientist. However, due to the absence of other similar studies, it is the wording and conclusions of Sjogren, as evidenced by the sources, until the end of the XIXth century. served as one of the main guidelines for representatives of the regional administration in choosing the direction of religious and educa­tional policy towards the Ossetians. Many Ossetian rituals and cults found their more correct explanation only in the works of the scientists of the next generation, such as V. B. Pfaff, V. F. Miller and Y. A. Kulakovsky. But despite all the shortcomings that later became obvious, the article by Sjogren is a unique source of knowledge about the religious beliefs of Ossetians and deserves close attention. Ossetia was not the only destination of the scientist during his stay in the Caucasus, and the be­liefs of Ossetians were not the main area of interest for A. M. Sjogren. For a proper understanding of the tone of the author and his conclusions, made on the basis of the analysis, we must review Sjogren publications in the context of pan-Caucasian phenomena of the first half of the nineteenth century.

The International conference “Flora and conservation in the Caucasus: history and current state of knowledge” dedicated to the 130-year anniversary of the Perkalsky Arboretum took place at 22–25 of May 2019 in Pyatigorsk (Stavropol Territory) on the base of the Pyatigorsk Museum of local lore and natural history. The participants were from 11 cities of Russia and 7 Republics of the Caucasus and represented 14 institutions. Proceedings of the conference were published by the beginning of the meeting the book of abstracts includes 49 papers on the study of vascular plants, bryophytes, lichens and fungi, plant communities, as well as the protection of rare and endangered species, unique plant communities, and ecological problems in the Caucasus. The following geobotanical topics were highlighted in 13 papers: forest communities (3 reports), meadow and steppe vegetation (2), xeric open forests (2), communities of ecotone areas (1), structure of populations of rare plant species (3), as well as the history and current status of nature protected areas (2). The great emphasis has been focused on the study of floristic composition and plant populations. Thus, the conference showed that very few studies от vegetation are currently carried out in the Caucasus, and a lot of districts are not affected by the research. The greatest attention is paid to forest vegetation while meadow, steppe, alpine heath and xerophytic communities are studied rather poorly. Besides, there are “white spots” — mire, floodplain and aquatic vegetation. In nowadays, when the anthropogenic impact on the plant cover of the Caucasus is intensively increasing, it is especially important to study natural undisturbed communities preserved in protected natural areas. Another important issue is the conservation of the unique vegetation cover of the whole Caucasus. Thus, the study of vegetation of this region opens a wide field for researchers using various methods of modern plant science.

- There has been an increased interest in research on paranoia and persecutory delusions. This is partly based on the idea that paranoia exists on a continuum ranging from sub-clinical to clinical levels. One area of interest is in social cognition as it may provide methods to understand how persons with paranoia perceive, interpret, and understand their social world. Previous research has showed that social cognition directly influences or mediates social functioning. Paranoia can be ideally approached from a social cognitive perspective, which makes understanding these processes even more important. For this review, we will focus on the current state of knowledge for paranoia as it pertains to the three primary domains of social cognition: 1) emotion/social perception, 2) theory of mind, and 3) attributional style. Deficits in emotion/social perception appear to be found across the paranoia continuum. In contrast, deficits in theory of mind and attributional style are typically found in persons with clinical levels of paranoia. Future studies should focus on understanding the processes that might underlie the deficits.
