The article reveals the features of linguistic research tasks as a means of achieving different types of educational results: subject, meta-subject and personal. The characteristics of research tasks constructed as a system of tasks organizing the main stages of children’s linguistic research are substantiated: problem situation; awareness of a cognitive issue; building hypotheses; application of methods used in linguistic science (observation, classification, language experiment); presentation of a report (verbal or graphic). The possibility of using this model for the development of research linguistic tasks in extracurricular work with primary schoolchildren is shown. Examples of such tasks are given.

The study aims to determine peculiarities of making SMS abbreviations in messages using examples from English and German. The article considers the following models of SMS-abbreviations: initial abbreviations, syllabic abbreviations, replacement of a part of a word with a digit, morpheme contractions, omission of the subject in the sentence and grapheme identity. Scientific novelty lies in identification of common models that contribute to compilation of SMS abbreviations in both English and German. As a result, general rules for making SMS abbreviations for the two foreign languages are determined, and results of a survey are presented confirming significance and practical need for the research topic.

This paper is a review of results of studies of affine transformations in generalized spaces over real linear algebras over the past 15-20 years.

The trophic ecology of Nyctalus lasiopterus in the Samara Bend during 2008-2010 has been studied. It has been revealed that the main feeding stations for this species are old ecotonal black poplar stands and willow groves. N. lasiopterus keeps to opportunistic foraging by using easily accessible and properly sized food objects. Having analyzed 129 fecal samples, we singled out 10 categories of food objects belonging to six orders of insects. The representatives of Lepidoptera constitute the major part of the ration. Their abundance rates undergo asynchronous changes relative to each other. Homoptera and Neuroptera are found more rarely in the feces. Orthoptera and Diptera are extremely rare. Besides insects, bird feathers were found in 14 faecal samples of N. lasiopterus. They made up from 60 to 90% of the total fecal mass.

Effect of single selank administration on activity of carboxypeptidase H and of phenylmethylsulfonylfluoride-inhibited carboxypeptidase - enzymes detaching arginine and lysine from C-terminus of molecules-precursors of biologically active peptides was studied. The preparation has been shown to cause long, preserved for 24 h changes of activities of these carboxypeptidases. It is suggested that the change in activity of the studied enzymes can be one of mechanisms of regulation of level of neuropeptides at action of selank.

Reproductive relations between animals in the hybrid settlement of the russet and yellow ground squirrels are panmictic and are characterized by the absence of assortative crossings and by the presence of multimale pairings in females with evidently heterospermic broods. Maximum breeding success was observed for hybrid animals proving the fertility of hybrids. However, the hybrid breeding potential (young animal survival rate) is significantly lower as compared with russet and yellow ground squirrels, but the survival rate of the hybrid progeny in the hybrid population is not lower than in specific settlements.

For many decades karyotype was the only source of overall genomic information obtained from species of mammal. However, approaches have been developed in recent years to obtain molecular and ultimately genomic information directly from the extracted DNA of an organism. Molecular data have accumulated hugely for mammalian taxa. The growing volume of studies should motivate field researchers to collect suitable samples for molecular analysis from various species across all their ranges. This is the reason why we here include a molecular sampling procedure within a field work protocol, which also includes more traditional (including cytogenetic) techniques. In this way we hope to foster the development of molecular and genomic studies in non-standard wild mammals.
