Статья посвящена исследованию символики и семантики праздничного костюма обских угров (народности ханты и манси). Использованы описательный и компаративный методы. Отмечается, что цветовой «словарь» данных народностей максимально конкретен и основан на непосредственном восприятии, поэтому «образы» цветов реалистичны и мифологичны одновременно. Соответственно, каждый цвет несет особую смысловую нагрузку, что детально рассмотрено на примере коллекции вышитой праздничной одежды остяков (ханты) «Узоры Конды». Показано, что костюм можно воспринимать как текст, прочитав который можно понять смысл его цветовой, орнаментальной, архитектурной текстуры. Резюмировано, что праздничный костюм обских угров — не только самобытное явление художественной традиции Западной Сибири, но и итог многовековой коммуникации между соседними народами. The article is devoted to the study of the symbolism and semantics of the festive costume of the Ob Ugrians (the Khanty and Mansi peoples). Descriptive and comparative methods were used. It is noted that the color "vocabulary" of these ethnic groups is as specific as possible and based on direct perception, therefore, the "images" of colors are realistic and mythological at the same time. Accordingly, each color carries a special semantic load, which is examined in detail on the example of the collection of embroidered festive clothes of the Ostyaks (Khanty) "Kondy Patterns". It is shown that the costume can be perceived as a text, after reading which one can understand the meaning of its color, ornamental, architectural texture. It is summarized that the festive costume of the Ob Ugrians is not only an original phenomenon in the artistic tradition of Western Siberia, but also the result of centuries-old communication between neighboring peoples.

The XX century and the first decades of the XXI century are characterized by the process of retraditionalization, which is well fixed by expeditionary ethnographic materials within the framework of the culture of life support. On the example of the Russian rural population of the Western Siberia, vital culture has demonstrated some forms of retraditionalization — substitution technologies in economic life, social mutual assistance and support and actualization of irrational knowledge. The considered forms of retraditionalization perform the functions of adaptation to complex socio-economic conditions and symbolic identification of social and ethnic groups.

Agrarian Movement

The article will focus on the significance of the agrarian movement of people from the European part of Russia to Siberia in the late 19th — early 20th centuries. A stream of ethnoculturally diverse people poured into Siberia. Different ethnic groups in different, sometimes unusual natural conditions were forced to adapt to the surrounding reality. All this happened by changing the usual ways of managing and living. This naturally influenced the formation of a new way of life, changes in cultural traditions that absorbed the traces of a new environment, mixed with the «established» centuries. Thus, at times, the settlers developed a new adaptation culture.

Gender approaches in Ethnology, everyday life of an ethnic group, on the organization of relationships in the system of value cultural aspects of the Mordovian culture. Mordovian settlers in Western Siberia accounted for a fairly large percentage. Relations within the ethnic group itself and their relations with external ethnic groups have always been of interest to researchers. Recently, gender issues have become particularly relevant, since it was the female line that played an important role in the culture of Mordovia.

Ayurveda literatures include the descriptions of many drugs in terms of their names, properties and therapeutic usage. But there are many drugs, despite their medicinal value and wide usage among ethnic groups, left unrecorded in the classical texts. These drugs are generally termed as Anukta dravya. Action of Anukta dravya can be explained with its rasapanchaka viz. Rasa (taste), Guna (quality), Veerya (potency), Vipaka (transformation) and Prabhava (special action). Among these attributes of a drug, Rasa is the only parameter which can be assessed by direct perception. Cissus latifolia Lam. is an extra-pharmacopoeial drug with several ethnomedicinal claims. So the Rasa analysis of Cissus latifolia Lam. was done in 30 volunteers using a structured questionnaire. On analysing the data, it was found to have Kashaya rasa (astringent) and Tikta anurasa (bitter).

This paper considers two types of Protestant ethnic groups of some areas of Urals and Western Siberia. The first type consist of representatives of members of different ethnic groups consisting of well-educated professionals, incorporated into industrial society and associated with the intellectualism of Protestantism. The second type is represented by the indigenous peoples of the Polar Urals and Western Siberia, who use the Protestant religious organizations as tool for restoring life-sustaining elements of the native peoples’ traditional economy. I employed the inductive approach and the comparison method; during the fieldwork I used ethnographic participant observations, sociological structured interviews and closed-ended questionnaires. The empirical data have been collected in the Southern, Middle and Polar Urals and Western Siberia.

Background: Suicidal behavior is a severe public health problem. Aims: To determine the rates of attempted and completed suicide among ethnic groups in The Hague, The Netherlands (2002–2004). Methods: By analyzing data on attempted and completed suicide (from the psychiatric department of general medical hospitals; the psychiatric emergency service and the municipal coroners). Results: Turkish and Surinamese females aged 15–24 years were at highest risk for attempted suicide (age-specific rate 545 / 100,000 and 421 / 100,000 person-years, respectively). Both rates were significantly higher than in the same age group of Dutch females (246 / 100,000 person-years). Turkish (2%) and Surinamese (7%) had lower repeat suicide-attempt rates than did Dutch (16%) females aged 15–24. Significantly lower suicide-attempt rates were found for Surinamese than for Dutch females aged 35–54 years. Differences were not explained by socioeconomic living conditions. The ratio fatal/nonfatal events was 4.5 times higher in males than in females and varied across age, gender, and ethnicity strata. Completed suicide was rare among migrant females. No completed suicides were observed in the Turkish and Surinamese females aged 15–24 years. Conclusions: The study demonstrates a high risk of attempted suicide and a low risk of completed suicide among young Turkish and Surinamese females.
