Abstract. Mstislav Antoninovich Shangin (1896-1942) is a Soviet classic philologist, historian of Bizantium and paleographer, took part in two major international projects – Catalog of Greek astrological manuscripts (Catalogus codicum astrologorum graecorum. Tomus XII. Codices rossicos descripsit Mstislav Antonini F. Šangin) and Catalogue of Greek alchemical manuscripts. The first book was published in Brussels in 1936 and was highly appreciated by the publisher CCAG Fr.Cumont. As for the second Catalog, we know from the correspondence between M. Shangin and V. Vernadsky that in May of 1936 the manuscript was passed to the publishing house of Directorate of the Catalogs of Alchemical Manuscripts of the International Academic Union. This information is confirmed by the letter of Mr. A. Delatte we found in the RAS archive in the Fund of the Institute of Science History and Technology, AS USSR which supervised this edition from the part of the Soviet Union. The further fate of the Catalog is not known. Perhaps, due to the Institute transfer to Moscow in 1936 and with its subsequent liquidation (1938) negotiations were stopped, and the publication never saw the light.

Students with the help of magnets and present parameters look for the meteorites among the rocks on displayed in the museum exhibition. After finding objects students identify them and write down their names. Another task allows the students to work independently on the museum's meteorite collection.

Abstract. The article deals with the questions of material incentives and anti-corruption behavior of public officials. In the research process of the theoretical foundation it was concluded that tasks set for the professionalization of the public service and improvement of its efficiency require an appropriate result-oriented system of remuneration.
By studying the problems of managing material incentives for labor to ensure anti-corruption behavior of civil servants, specific proposals have been formulated to take into account such aspects of public office that characterize its corruption risks within the framework of the factor-point assessment of the positions. Since a civil servant, whose labor activity is associated with the possibility of "unhindered" obtaining illegal benefits and advantages, in the context of a system of material incentives that is insufficient to meet his primary needs, strictly speaking, is deliberately directed to commit corruption crimes.
The results of the study on the transition to the factor-point assessment of positions as a measure of the validity of wages are presented in this article.
However, the considered factors, which are traditionally used in assessing positions for their importance and "weight", are not able to reflect the particular features of civil service.
