The aim of research: comparative study of adsorption capacity and selectivity of enterosorbents of different generations. Material and methods. The subject of the study is enterosorbents widely applied in clinical practice. They belong to different generations and exhibit different adsorption capacities and different doses of daily application. Results. It was found out that enterosorbents differed from one another and the latest generation had more perfect and diverse adsorption properties. The experimental data confirmed that enterosorbents of the fourth generation, in particular white carbon, whose main component is silicon dioxide exhibited a highly developed active surface and high adsorption capacity relative to highly toxic heavy metals, while its ability to bind and remove useful components (biometals and vitamin C) in organism was negligibly low. Conclusions. The enterosorbent of the fourth generation «White coal» possess high adsorption capacity toward heavy metals and simultaneously are characterized by negligibly low capacity to bind and remove bioactive compounds such as biometals and vitamin C.

A unique feature of medicinal plants is that they contain a wide range of biologically active substances, including those having antioxidant activity. In addition, they contain micro elements that play an essential role in living systems. The content of ascorbic acid in the wet mass and leaves of herbaceous medicinal plants, as well as content of micro elements iron and copper were studied. The species of cranberries, lingo berries, plantain, strawberry timber, St. John’s wort and cinquefoil erect revealed the highest content of ascorbic acid. The content of these components causes the exceptional diversity of the impact and effectiveness of various medicinal plants and their extracts on human body.

The study is focused on representations of the concept ‘woman’ existing in the language consciousnesses of representatives of the Russian and Yakut ethnic groups. The image of ‘woman’ was investigated by means of a free-associative experiment. The associative field, collected in the course of the experiment, is considered as the verbalization of language consciousness that reflects the image of the world, mediated by language. To identify the effect of the social environment as well as the role of native language in the preservation of traditional worldview elements, the associative experiment was conducted among Russians, Urban Yakuts (for whom Russian was the main or only language), and Rural Yakuts (who speak Yakut). The conclusions of our research are the following: the components of the associative meanings of the three experimental groups overlap due to commonalities in traditions and gender stereotypes existing in Russian and Yakut cultures. However, some responses of Rural Yakuts were specific for that group, showing that they preserved some elements of traditional perceptions of ‘woman’ in comparison with Urban Yakuts. Thus, we think that the usage of the ancestral language and the rural way of life contribute to the preservation and retention of traditional worldview elements.
