The work is aimed at studying the relationship of young people to the political sphere of society. Research was carried out the end of 2013 using questionnaires. In the survey of 185 people attended. There is a low level of participation in the political process, and the average level of emotional involvement. It is received, the low level of political activity of young people: weak electoral activity and indifference to social movements. Assessment of the political situation on the value of the average in the Region - 2.39 and Russia - 2.04.

The results of calculations on the stability of slope lands treated in a new way. Device intrasoil walls combined with loosened intervals allows prevent subsurface runoff water, which reduces surface erosion slopes, improves the fertility of farmland returns a highly eroded areas in turn, eliminates the wetlands at the foot of the slopes. Established that the stability of the treated soil layer on the slope ample.

This paper presents a method of processing and interpreting data from the semantic differential technique. It is shown, the emotional perception calculated on the standard method of average values gives an incomplete picture. The technique is approved in research of emotional perception of the political order among DGTU students. It is obtained, distribution of the studied group is inhomogeneously on emotional perception of political orders. For audience as average, and the most probable levels of perception of local and central political orders are positive and equal 0,1. However, 27% of students are characterized by a negative level of emotional perception of political order, with the average value -0.3.

The article examines the cognitive and behavioral components of group attitudes toward political order of students of DGTU.  Pilot study took place in 2013 and was carried out using questionnaires, which was attended by 52 people. The analysis represents a hierarchical clustering on the basis of consecutive factorization. It is received, group level of a relative deprivation – 0,46. In assessing deprivation group decomposed into two subgroups, with average values in each - 0.3 and 0.6. Perceptions of political order at the cognitive level:  -0,174 for local government and-0,139 for Russia. In perception of local government the group broke into two subgroups: -0,3 and 0,2. Behavioral component perception of political order defined by two subfactor: active behavioral level - 0.39, and the estimated level of oppositional behavior - 0.57.

In the autumn of 2013 a pilot survey was conducted among students DSTU, which was attended by 52 respondents. Purpose - to reveal emotional perception of the students of local and central political government by the method of semantic differential. The paper presents a psychosemantic phenomenological model processing of survey results by the method of semantic differential. On average semantic portraits are calculated relative distances between the group images of real political order and the images of the ideal constructs. Phenomenological parameters are determined by them and calculated the required level of group emotional perception of a political order. Calculations group levels of emotional perception of the political order showed similar results as the linear approximation: -0.015 for Region and for Russia as a whole -0.033. Shown, the model allows to determine not only the group levels of perception, but also to build the surface of the stationary states. This surface describes the behavior the level of perception associated with a quasistatic change of phenomenological parameters caused by external conditions. Images of perception of real political orders are in quiet area. At quasistatic variations of external conditions it is necessary to expect little smooth changes of level of perception.

Chlorination is the most common, and in fact no alternative method of disinfection using in Baghdad water supply system. Thus there is an urgent need to control the trihalomethanes (THMs) in drinking water. One of the objectives of this study is to investigate the content of THMs in Baghdad water supply network. Studies showed that the substantial amount of THMs formed in water distribution system, THMs content tends to increase with the distance from the starting point coupled with a decrease of residual chlorine concentration. It is observed that in summer total THMs concentration growth rate in water supply network was 1.3-1.4 times higher than in winter as well as total amount of THMs increase by 30 percent in summer. It was found that the concentration of total THMs never exceeded 80 μg/l – the level specified in National Primary Drinking Water Regulations: Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts (Stage 1) established by USEPA. However, in summer total THMs concentration in the water always exceeded 40 μg/l – the level set in accordance with Stage 2 of this Rule. The most of total THMs (73-80%) were bromine compounds (CHCl2Br, CHClBr2 and CHBr3). It is shown that the most efficient way to reduce THMs in Baghdad water supply network is to use the chlorine dioxide for chlorination.

The results of modeling perception psychosemantic political order among students of Grozny in 2013. The study involved 120 people. Modeling based on the classical method of semantic differential Charles Osgood . A comparative analysis of average semantic portraits. Calculated levels of emotional perception of the political order. Perception of order in the Republic: 0, 423052 , Russia: 0.351604 . The basis of the binding model is a theory of two ideal points (extended  method ideal point Coombs ): emotional attitude measured by proximity to the image of the real image of the ideal constructs in semantic space as a whole, rather than individual coordinates. In accordance with the general concepts of "good" and "evil" are calculated ideal "positive" and "negative" constructs. Further, under the theory of catastrophes developed model allows calculations on the ideal proximity to two points. Found that the level of perception described by the potential perception of the fourth degree. A stationary point - stationary states equation of the third degree. Potential itself depends on two factors: evaluation and activity. Based on a group approach, the method of calculation of the binding model and evaluation factors and the activity of the two proximity to two of the ideal points.

В работе приведен анализ групповых установок по отношению к политическому порядку молодежи г. Грозного в 2013 году. Мониторинг политических установок осуществлялся методом анкетирования. В пилотажном исследовании приняли участие 120 человек. Выявлены и изучены компоненты политических установок. Уровни найденных восприятий рассчитывались в линейном приближении с использованием факторного анализа, и являются значениями средних, которые строились при помощи описательных статистик.  Уровни когнитивного восприятия политического порядка для Республики: 0,265, и для России: 0,271. Найденные значения являются схожими и  положительными, но следует отметить, что имеют противоположную величину, по сравнению со значениями, полученными в исследовании среди студентов Ростова-на-Дону.  Уровень относительной депривации за 2013 год равен 0,333. Это свидетельствует о том, что руководство Республики сумело закрепить и повысить уровни социальной и экономической защищенности среди студенчества. Поведенческий компонент имеет два уровня: оценка и активность. Оценочный уровень поведения составил -0,275, и уровень поведенческой активности 0,517. Оценочный фактор поведения студенческой группы выявил низкое значение (молодые люди могут не обсуждать новости политики с друзьями, семьей и т.д.),  однако действительное поведение находится на высоком уровне (активное участие в выборах и общественных движениях). Далее, по полученным факторам осуществлялась вторичная факторизация и расчет уже итогового поведенческого компонента. Для 2013 года общий уровень поведенческой составляющей равен 0,352.
