The study focuses on the analysis of Middle Neolithic burial complexes of the Baikal-Yenisey Siberia. Based on a series of reliable radiocarbon dates, their age lies within the range of 6190–5900 cal BP. It partly corresponds to the end of the hiatus in the mortuary traditions of Cis-Baikal. Features of the burial rite and funerary offerings are analyzed and compared with those of neighboring territories. One of the most frequent images in the art of the Middle Neolithic Baikal-Yenisey Siberia is that of the waterfowl, rendered as fi gurines. The common grave goods are leaf-shaped stone arrowheads, shell beads, and pendants made of animal bones and teeth. The funerary rite included the use of fi re and reddish mineral pigment, as well as disrupting the anatomical integrity of the skeletons, possibly due to partial burial (the data are tentative). Most burials of the late stage of the hiatus are evidently those of hunter-gatherers manufacturing the Ust-Belaya ceramics, which were found in certain burials. A bone arrowhead with a biconical point and fi gurines representing waterfowl suggest cultural ties with the Urals and Western Siberia; but their nature has yet to be clarifi ed, which requires large-scale AMS-dating and paleogenetic analysis.

В статье представлены результаты анализа средненеолитических погребальных комплексов Байкало-Енисейской Сибири. На основании серии надежных радиоуглеродных дат их возраст определен в пределах 6 190-5 900 кал. лет. Отчасти он соответствует финалу хиатуса — периода перерыва в погребальных традициях, выделенного по материалам Прибайкалья. Проведены анализ особенностей погребальной практики, сопровождающего инвентаря и сравнение их с материалами сопредельных территорий. Установлено, что одним из ведущих сюжетов в искусстве населения среднего неолита Байкало-Енисейской Сибири является образ водоплавающей птицы, которая изображалась на предметах мелкой пластики. Для инвентаря погребений характерны листовидные наконечники стрел из камня, бусины из раковин, подвески из кости и зубов животных. Выявлены такие особенности погребального обряда, как ритуальные действия с использованием огня и минерального пигмента, а также нарушения анатомической целостности костяков, что в ряде случаев могло быть обусловлено парциальным характером захоронений (данные требуют уточнения). Высказано предположение, что большинство погребений позднего этапа хиатуса могло принадлежать охотникам-собирателям, владевшим традициями изготовления усть-бельской керамики, которая была найдена в некоторых могилах. Присутствие в составе погребального инвентаря костяного наконечника стрелы с биконической головкой и предметов мелкой пластики с изображениями водоплавающих птиц позволяет говорить о наличии культурных связей с населением Урало-Западносибирского региона, но их характер пока не совсем ясен, для чего необходимо широкое привлечение данных AMS-датирования и палеогенетики.

The problem of the development of emotional intelligence and social competence in childhood is a new direction of scientific research in pedagogical psychology and pedagogy, which is at the stage of formation. The lack of unity of views on the problem of emotional intelligence in the scientific community generates many interpretations of this phenomenon. Relying on the concept of social competence of the famous Russian scientist A.I. Savenkov, who defines emotional intelligence as an integral part (substructure) of social competence, we substantiate the potential of various forms of organization of joint activities of children and propose a model for the development of emotional intelligence and social competence of older preschool children in collective visual activity. Interaction of children in different forms of joint visual activity provides teachers and psychologists with a rich base for empirical observation of behavioral manifestations of emotional intelligence, the evaluation of which is very important for a deeper understanding of this phenomenon. The implementation of the model will allow to update all the basic parameters of emotional intelligence and social competence (cognitive, emotional, behavioral), to contribute to the development of the content of procedures for identifying and quantifying each of the basic parameters, as well as the methods for their diagnosis and development in the course of activities of different subject-matter (artistic, research and etc.).

Background. Studies devoted to the analysis of the odontological features of paleoanthropological material and modern population reveal epochal changes in dental structures, as well as ethnic and specific features of the population of individual regions. The study of odontological structures of different epochs allows to obtain information about the reduction and its speed, as well as the prevalence of dental anomalies in individual regions. Aim. To identify the changeability of the values of the dimensional parameters of maxillary teeth of the population of the city of Krasnoyarsk, taking into account the time vector. Materials and methods. The current odontometric study was conducted on the modern population of Krasnoyarsk (n=331), the craniological material of the Pokrovsky Necropolis (XVII century, n=73), and the Vsekhsvyatskiy Necropolis (XVIII­–XIX centuries, n=50). The study was carried out on mesiodistal (MDcor) and vestibulo-oral (VOcor) crown diameters. The modules of teeth crowns (mcor) and the average module of dental crown (mcor M(1-3) (according to the modules of molar crowns) were calculated to characterize the dimensional parameters of teeth crowns in each group in order to determine the general characteristics of the absolute size of the teeth in the jaw. Results. Both in female and male samples, the reduction of mesio-distal and vestibulo-oral diameters of some teeth, and accordingly, the reduction of teeth-crown module was revealed. The reduction of maxillary teeth-crown module among the population of Krasnoyarsk of the XVII–XIX is more marked among women. The crown module of right maxillary canine (13 tooth) reduced by 6.41% among women and 3.03% among men by the XXI century. The crown module of 23 tooth reduced by 6,43 % and 2,77% among women and men respectively. Significant reduction of teeth-crown dimensions and modules of teeth 25, 26, 27 by 4,62%, 3,17 % and 1,55% is typical for women, whereas this tendency is not specific to men. Conclusions. The analysis of the variability of maxillary teeth-crown modules confirmed the ongoing processes of teeth reduction. The obtained dimensions of the average maxillary teeth-crown module reveal the microdontia in females and mesodontia in males.

Scientific interest in the study of social intelligence has not weakened for almost a hundred years, starting in the 1920s and until now its development in humans associates with social success (“intelligence of success”, R. Stenberg), the ability to effectively interact with people, predict their behavior and successfully solve life problems. The purpose of the research: to conduct an analytical review of foreign and domestic scientific sources and to identify the evolution of ideas about social intelligence during various periods of its study abroad and in Russia. The material for the study was foreign and domestic open scientific sources, which contain information on the study of social intelligence by foreign and domestic scientific schools. We used the following methods: retrospective analysis, comparative analysis, content analysis, generalization, classification. The analysis of the structural and substantive characteristics of the concept of “social intelligence” presented in foreign and domestic scientific sources made it possible to identify the main periods in the study of social intelligence abroad and in Russia, to trace the change in the views of scientists on theoretical approaches to the study and diagnosis of social intelligence. The evolution of ideas about social intelligence is manifested from the period of its separation from the structure of general intelligence as an independent concept and subject of research (1920s) to the appearance of multi-component models of social intelligence, characterized by a complex of indicators of cognitive, emotional and behavioral components (1900–2000s).
