An experiment was conducted at the Soil Science Field Laboratory of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during Aman season of 2016 to evaluate the effects of deep placement of N fertilizers in the form of urea super granule (USG) and NPK briquettes in comparison with prilled urea (PU) on nitrogen use efficiency and yield of BRRI dhan49. The soil was silt loam in texture having pH 6.27, organic matter content 1.95% and total N 0.136%. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with eight treatments and three replications. The treatments include T1 (Control), T2 (PU, 104 kg N ha-1), T3 (USG, 104 kg N ha- 1), T4 (USG 78 kg N ha-1), T5 (USG, 52 kg N ha-1), T6 (NPK briquettes, 104 kg N ha-1), T7 (NPK briquettes, 78 kg N ha-1) and T8 (NPK briquettes, 52 kg N ha-1). All the treatments except T6, T7 and T8 received 16 kg P and 42 kg K ha-1 from TSP and MoP, respectively. In T6, T7 and T8 treatments, P and K were supplied from NPK briquettes. The PU was applied in three equal splits. The USG and NPK briquettes were deep placed 10 DAT and the briquettes were placed at 8-10 cm depth between four hills at alternate rows. Application of PU, USG and NPK briquette under alternate wetting and drying (AWD) condition exerted significant influence on yield attributes as well as grain and straw yields of BRRI dhan49. The maximum grain yield of 6311 kg ha-1 (100% increases over control) and straw yield of 6956 kg ha-1 was recorded in T3 (USG, 104 kg N ha-1). The second highest grain yield of 5865 kg ha-1 produced by T2 (PU, 104 kg N ha-1) was statistically similar with T4 (USG 78 kg N ha-1) and T6 (NPK briquettes, 104 kg N ha-1). The lowest grain yield (3155 kg ha-1) and straw yield (3908 kg ha-1) were recorded in T1 (Control). The deep placement of USG and NPK briquettes enhanced both the recovery of applied N and N use efficiency in comparison with broadcast application of prilled urea. The T5 (USG, 52 kg N ha-1) showed maximum apparent N recovery, and N use efficiency. Next to T5, the T4 depicted the position in respect of N recovery and N use efficiency. So the application of 78 kg N ha-1 in the form of USG can be recommended for the production of BRRI dhan49.

Modern Aspects of Etiology, Mechanisms, Pathogenesis and Diagnostics of Ovarian Formations
Authors: Abramova S. , Simfukwe K. , Gladkova O. , Grachev D. , Iseev D.
Published: May 2019

This review focuses on ovarian lesions. Ovarian tumors occupy the 3rd place among all tumors of the female genital organs, and 7th in the overall structure of malignant tumors, so the problem of timely diagnosis and treatment of ovarian lesions remains relevant. The share of benign ovarian tumors accounts for 70–80%. Among benign ovarian lesions, epithelial lesions are most common — tatami up to 16% and cystadenoma up to 22.8%. Histogenesis of ovarian formations is not fully understood, which explains the contradictions in the origin of a particular tumor. For the first time, features of the mechanisms of neoplasm formation have been described by A. Knudson et al., his team was one of the first to develop and publish the theory of ‘double strike’, interpreting the mechanisms for implementing sporadic and hereditary forms of neoplasms. Ovarian cancer — both on the part of the etiology and the clinical picture of a heterogeneous genetically determined pathology. The basis of the emergence of this group of tumors is the mutation of the genetic apparatus of the cell. Yes, indeed, the diagnostic search for ovarian masses is difficult, and there is a perception that it may also be delayed due to an asymptomatic or asymptomatic course of the disease. The complex of diagnostic measures for ovarian formations should include interviewing patients with anamnesis data collection, clinical and special examination. Thus, in modern conditions, the diagnostic algorithm for searching ovarian formations requires an integrated approach to identify ovarian formations at early stages of development, as well as to conduct differential diagnostics with subsequent determination of the morphological structure of the tumor.

Published: May 2019

Biophysics of blood circulation in Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by disorders of laminar blood flow and cerebral hypoperfusion. As a result, failure intracellular metabolism, there is a cascade of changes in neurons associated with the processes of excitotoxicity and oxidant stress, which in turn stimulates amyloidogenesis. Experimental and 25-year observations have shown that the long-existing state of hypoperfusion leads to hippocampal disorders. This process is accompanied by memory impairment, structural changes in the capillaries in the hippocampus, impaired glucose and protein metabolism, β–amyloid deposition, activation of glial tissue, death of hippocampal neurons. Neuroreflex disruption in the ‘cerebral heart’ and a violation of cerebrovascular homeostasis contributes to the development of vascular dementia through the following mechanisms, including cerebral microangiopathy, endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, neuronal damage, the increase in β–amyloid neurotoxicity, apoptosis, etc. The duration of therapy with antiglutamatergic and multimodal drugs in Alzheimer’s disease requires constant multidisciplinary monitoring of targets and medical and social control in the system of long-term care. Lifelong acquisition of knowledge, information positive Nano communication enable the preservation of mental health and active longevity. Innovative methods of P4-medicine of neuroplasticity management allow to carry out timely prevention of the factors reducing neuroplasticity, to keep factors of positive influence on visceral and cognitive brain, and the main thing — in due time to apply in practical health care the combined methods of preservation and development of the human cognitive brain.

Published: May 2019

His article discusses the problems of diagnosis of diffuse hyperplastic processes of the endometrium in women in the menopausal transition. Endometrial hyperplasia is a heterogeneous set of pathological processes, ranging from benign proliferation to monoclonal tissue proliferation. During the study, the most optimal criteria for the diagnosis of endometrial hyperplasia in women during the transition to menopause based on the use of a modern diagnostic complex (immunohistochemical and endoscopic technologies) were selected and formed. Endometrium is a hormone–sensitive, cyclically renewed tissue that reacts to the slightest changes in the hormonal status. In this connection, an attempt was made to analyze the prospects and feasibility of using immunohistochemical technologies in gynecological practice. The authors found that the study and analysis of the hormone — receptor status in individuals with endometrial hyperplasia in gynecological practice, consists of two points, first, the hormone-receptor status in endometrial hyperplasia is individual, and the degree of expression of highly productive or low-productive receptor complexes speaks the mechanism of development of receptor desynchronosis, and secondly, the hormone-receptor status determines the sensitivity of endometrial hyperplasia to hormonal therapy.

Published: May 2019

Elevated plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Statins are the most widely used therapy for patients with hyperlipidemia. However, a significant residual cardiovascular risk remains in some patients even after maximally tolerated statin therapy. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is a new promising therapeutic target for decreasing LDL-C. PCSK9 reduces LDL intake from circulation by enhancing low-density lipoprotein receptors (LDLR) degradation and preventing LDLR recirculation to the cell surface. In addition to examining the functional role of PCSK9, this review also discusses new drugs for the treatment of hyperlipidemia — PCSK9 inhibitors.

Authors: Shishkin V. , Shulzhenko E.
Published: May 2019

A by-product of soybean production, as a non-grain part of the crop, can be used to meet the needs of livestock in providing complete feeding of livestock. Pressing the floor allows to reduce the volume of plant material in order to reduce the cost of storage and transportation, improve the safety of its nutrients during long-term storage. Therefore, the development of an efficient, cost-effective and less energy-intensive technology and a process line for compacting the soybean floor by pressing is a promising direction. The pile of the floor is a complex mixture of particles of different sizes, as well as voids filled with air. Equipment compaction chaff should provide a stable preparation of pellets under all the fluctuations of the moisture content and fractional composition of chaff. In 2018, research experiments were carried out in the Far Eastern Scientific–Research Institute of Mechanization and Electrification of Agriculture to study the process of pressing the soybean floor, depending on its fractional composition and humidity, on the manufactured laboratory unit for compaction with the production of soybean floor briquettes. It was found that when the humidity of the sample increases from 9 to 21%, the energy consumption decreases by 17.1%. The coefficient of compaction of the floor when the humidity changes almost does not change. By increasing the length of the sex particles from 14 to 87 mm, the compaction coefficient increases by 73.3% and the energy intensity by 6.2 %. For transportation and storage of the soybean floor briquette, it is recommended to pack it tightly with polyethylene film or tie it with twine, this will increase the shelf life and eliminate losses.

Published: May 2019

As a result of careful interpretation of the data of recent seismo-acoustic surveys, two major seismic complexes were identified in the structure of upper sedimentary section of the north-western slope of Kukuy Griva (ridge). They are composed of several very characteristic inner seismo-facies and separated by well-expressed regional reflector. Seismic and acoustic data revealed evidences of numerous landslide processes which were different in age and peculiarities of manifestation. For the first time, detailed schemes of seismo-facies distribution are compiled for both major seismic complexes. The boundary between seismic complexes is dated as 150 thousands years. It is shown that sliding was more intensive during Late Pleistocene and Holocene, reflecting activation of tectonic movements in this part of Baikal rift system.

In some of them gold reserves exceed 100 t while gold grades reach several dozens ppm. Original data base was used to establish statistically meaningful criteria for identification of deposits with large gold reserves and/or anomalously enriched in gold. Some peculiar features of deposits with high Au grades were investigated including distribution in geological history and among the principal metallogenic provinces, association with volcanogenic formations and paleovolcanic structures, geochemical and mineralogical features and factors that caused enrichment in gold.
Granulite-gneiss (high grade) belts: geodynamic view
Authors: Bozhko N. A.
Published: May 2019

On the basis of analysis and generalization of modern data the features of the structure and tectonic evolution of granulite-gneiss (high-grade) belts of the Earth are considered. Their continental collisional tectonic nature, polycyclic and inherited character of development, expressed in repeated manifestations in the same belt of several stages of granulite metamorphism, separated by intervals of several hundred million years, are confirmed. Granulite-gneiss belts are permanent mobility structures that maintain endogenous activity in all stages of their existence, including intraplate environments. The relationship between high-grade belts and supercontinental cyclicity is revealed, which is expressed in the spatial coincidence of the majority of them to the outskirts of the young oceans that arose during the breakup of Pangea; in the control of assembly and breakup of ancient supercontinents along granulite belts; in correlation of manifestations of different types of granulite metamorphism in these belts with the stages of the supercontinent cycle. In the evolution of these belts there is a complex interaction of plate-tectonic and mantle-plume mechanisms, which is expressed in the combination of continental collision and underplating processes. The possibility of using granulite-gneiss belts in paleotectonic analysis along with other indicators of geodynamic settings is shown.

Published: May 2019

The geological framework and tectonics of the Eastern Black Sea region is characterized through balancing a geological cross-section and paleoreconstruction during the Paleogene-Neogene period. Studied area includes the Kerch-Taman Trough, the Anapa Swell (the continuation of the immersed part of the Greater Caucasus Orogen), the Tuapse trough and the Shatsky Swell. The paper is mainly focused on the Russian shelf zone of the Black sea. The results are important for understanding of the trap formation time and the hydrocarbon deposits preservation in the Russian sector of the Black sea shelf.

Authors: Drozdova O. Yu. , Anohina N. A. , Demin V. V. , Lapitskiy S. A.
Published: May 2019

In order to study the effect of sunlight on the composition and properties of dissolved organic matter and metal forms in natural waters, the process of photodegradation of organo-mineral complexes in field conditions with samples of soil and swamp waters was studied. Total content of certain aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids increased in the studied samples after irradiation. Photodegradation of organic matter of the natural waters that are rich in iron is accompanied by formation of colloidal particles (Fe hydroxides). The amount of negatively-charged complexes of Ni, Cu, Zn and Cd increases during the insolation in swamp waters and decreases in soil waters.

Differences in the morphology of the seabed, in the supply of terrigenous material in combination with significant fluctuations in sea level caused differences in the structure of sediments, in their texture, mineralogical composition, thickness, combined different sedimentary mechanisms.
Utopias of the Text: Pre-Figurations of the Post-Literary
Authors: Noys Benjamin
Published: May 2019

Utopias of the text are the moments of the emergence of a new and radical concept of the text as overflowing all limits and boundaries. Here these utopias are traced in the writings of Roland Barthes, Jacques Derrida, and Michel Foucault. They often emerge at the margins of these texts, in fragments or boundaries at which the utopia can be glimpsed before disappearing. These utopian moments can be reconstructed as a form of thinking the post-literary and its limits. They can also be traced to the explosion of speech during May 1968 and Maurice Blanchot is a key figure who links together this political moment with the ‘neutral’ form of writing. This article explores the fading of these utopias of the text alongside this draining of political energies. These processes of critique and waning suggest the inversion of utopias of the text into dystopias of the text. Now the sign or signifier appears dispersed or even insignificant compared to the powers and forces of post-literary domination. In this situation, however, the article suggests, the persistence of the utopias of the text as a critical horizon that can still inform how we grasp the equivocations of our post-literary moment.
Past, Passivity, Passion: Deleuze's Allegorical Drama
Authors: Borg Ruben
Published: May 2019

This article offers a rhetorical analysis of Deleuze's concept of the past, understood not as a modification of the present but as a pre-predicative, non-subjective articulation of time. Focusing on the discussion of the three passive syntheses of time in Chapter 2 of Difference and Repetition, it traces the continuity between past, passivity and passion across Deleuze's body of work in an effort not only to remark on the conceptual resonances between them, but, more importantly, to examine the figural and formal choices that codify those resonances, and to some extent over-determine them – in particular, Deleuze's recourse to allegory and tragic form. Though the past is constituted as a primordial component of time, it already exceeds itself in the passivity of that constitutive moment, of that originary gesture by which it is first committed to historical experience. The process is rendered in dramatic terms: Habitus and Mnemosyne (Habit and Memory; Present and Past) are first pitted against each other – respectively, as the origin of time and its ground. They are then overthrown by an unnamed third element ‘which subordinates the other two to itself’ and opens the whole to infinity. The article thematises the significance of the past within this allegorical drama, develops the character, and draws out the temporal structures encoded in Deleuze's figurations.
… Literaturelessness …
Authors: Callus Ivan
Published: May 2019

To keep things simple, doubtless simplistic: what would it mean to take literally the term post-literary, which features in CounterText's subtitle? What possible consequence, or conceptual advantage, could there be for literary criticism if it countenanced, even as a thought-experiment and in suppression of the reflex for problematisation of the question, the idea of the condition of being past, or without, literature? The sophistication of literary criticism and theory on anything bearing the prefix post- is well established and has determined various important moves within these discourses. But it could be contended that there might be some edge in an experiment suspending that manner of response in favour, however briefly, of a more artless probing of how and why literature-less conditions – and they do exist – bear scrutiny. Inevitably, there will be some contrivance in the affectation of that artlessness, but this is itself not without point. Accordingly, the article considers some hypothetical and some not so hypothetical situations for a literature-less condition. The assumption is that specifying them, however briefly, can be revealing – and one aspect that emerges is that there are long histories of the condition, sufficient to vindicate reflection on taking the post-literary literally and on what might hang on that.
‘Tearing itself apart over showpiece projects’: Planning-led Local Elections in Aberdeen, 2002–2012
Authors: Walton William
Published: May 2019

Members of the public wanting to influence the determination of a controversial development proposal will usually rely upon the direct measure of writing to the council to express their opinions. But where the arithmetic of the council is finely balanced, and notwithstanding the restrictions placed on councillors from declaring a definitive position on a live planning application, voters may be able to influence the outcome of the project indirectly via the ballot box. This paper examines the impact which a series of controversial development projects had on the outcome of local elections in Aberdeen between 2002 and 2012. During this period, the city moved from Labour domination to two- and three-way coalition control. In each of the three local elections, two or more of the major parties adopted clear positions on these highly charged proposals. These positions probably impacted upon voting behaviour and certainly influenced post-election coalition-building. Proposals for a new bridge crossing and a new football stadium were narrowly approved, whilst that for a new city centre square was narrowly rejected. In each case, councillors voted predominantly along party lines. The paper demonstrates the significant influence which planning had on the city's electoral politics over the decade.
Travmayı Anlamlandırması Açısından İmtihan İnancı ve Başa Çıkma: Şehit Aileleri, Gaziler ve Gazi Aileleri Örneği
Authors: Esen Ateş Nesibe
Published: May 2019

Yaşanan olaylar bireyin anlam
duygusunu bozduğunda, temel gaye bozulan anlamı geri kazanmak olmaktadır. Din,
imtihan inancını yaşanan olaylara anlam bulma kaynağı olarak sunmaktadır. Çalışmada,
olumsuz yaşam olaylarını anlamlandırmada imtihan inancının rolü
araştırılmaktadır. Araştırma grubu olarak şehit aileleri, gaziler ve gazi
aileleri seçilmiştir. Onların, yaşadıkları travmaların kaynağı ve anlamına dair
başa çıkma süreçlerinde, imtihan inancını kullanıp kullanmadıklarını tespit
etmek, bu inancın başa çıkmaya olumlu ya da olumsuz etkilerini ortaya koymak,
çalışmanın temel amaçlarıdır. İmtihan inancı, üç katılımcı grupta da yaşanan
olaya bir neden vermesi açısında oldukça sık atıf almaktadır. Şehit ailelerinde,
yaşanan kaybın Allah’tan geldiği ve şerefli bir imtihan olduğu düşüncesi başa
çıkmayı olumlu etkilemektedir. Gazilerde, “Neden ben?” sorusuna cevap vermesi
açısından önemli olan imtihan inancı çoğunlukla duygusal yönde başa çıkmaya
yansımaktadır. Gazi ailelerine göre yakınlarının gazi olmaları ve travma
yaşamış kişiler ile beraber yaşamak imtihandır. İmtihan inancının başa çıkmaya etkisini
dindarlık algısı, kişilik, sosyal çevre, eğitim gibi bireysel dinamikler
belirlemektedir.
