Relevance. Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is an acute viral zoonosis. Being widespread in Eurasia, it holds a leading place in Russia among natural focal human diseases. The vast majority of HFRS cases in Russia, about 98%, are associated with Puumala virus. The disease is characterized by a wide range of clinical manifestations. Early specific diagnostics appears to be of a great importance for starting timely pathogenic therapy. The aim of the study was to clarify the diagnostic value of detecting hantavirus antibodies in the HFRS suspected patient urine. Materials and methods. Blood sera and urine samples from 68 patients at the Infectious Diseases Hospital in the city of Ufa, obtained with a 2-day interval, as well as urine and blood serum samples from 15 convalescents 1, 2, 3 and 6 months after disease onset were examined for hantavirus antibodies. 53 blood sera and urine samples from patients residing in Moscow, Moscow and Samara regions collected at different time points during the disease course were investigated in parallel. Antibodies were detected by the indirect immunofluorescence method. Results. On day 3, 4, 5 and 6 of disease, while specific antibodies were detected in the blood serum, antibodies in the urine were found in 85.7%, 89.4%, 93.1% and 100% of patients, respectively. The peak quantity of antibodies was excreted in the urine from days 5 to 11, which corresponds to the oliguric stage of the disease. In the convalescent period, antibodies were still detected in urine 1, 2 and 3 months afterwards in 86.7%, 46% and 20% of cases, respectively, but not detected 6 months later, which probably reflects the process of long-term restoration of the kidneys function. A moderate positive correlation between specific antibodies in serum and urine was observed only in the oliguric period of the disease. Conclusions. Detection of hantavirus antibodies simultaneously in blood serum and urine of febrile patients instead of paired blood sera allows to conduct HFRS diagnostics within the very first days of hospitalization and prevent severe complications due to timely pathogenic therapy.
Fair Division of Indivisible Goods for a Class of Concave Valuations
Authors: Chaudhury Bhaskar Ray , Cheung Yun Kuen , Garg Jugal , Garg Naveen , Hoefer Martin , Mehlhorn Kurt
Published: May 2022

We study the fair and efficient allocation of a set of indivisible goods among agents, where each good has several copies, and each agent has an additively separable concave valuation function with a threshold. These valuations capture the property of diminishing marginal returns, and they are more general than the well-studied case of additive valuations. We present a polynomial-time algorithm that approximates the optimal Nash social welfare (NSW) up to a factor of e1/e ≈ 1.445. This matches with the state-of-the-art approximation factor for additive valuations. The computed allocation also satisfies the popular fairness guarantee of envy-freeness up to one good (EF1) up to a factor of 2 + ε. For instances without thresholds, it is also approximately Pareto-optimal. For instances satisfying a large market property, we show an improved approximation factor. Lastly, we show that the upper bounds on the optimal NSW introduced in Cole and Gkatzelis (2018) and Barman et al. (2018) have the same value.
Enhancing Stress Tests by Adding Macroprudential Elements
Authors: Bassett William F. , Rappoport David E.
Published: May 2022

The use of stress testing for macroprudential objectives is advanced by modeling spillovers within the financial sector or between the real and financial sectors. In this chapter, we discuss several macroprudential elements that capture these spillovers and how they might be added to stress test frameworks. We show how funding spillovers can be modeled as an add-on, using a reduced-form relation between banks’ funding cost, bank capital and economic activity. Using a calibration to US data, we project very modest funding spillovers conditional on the DFAST 2018 severely adverse scenario. We describe the pros and cons of modeling different types of spillovers using this approach.
Cyberattacks and Financial Stability: Evidence from a Natural Experiment
Authors: Kotidis Antonis , Schreft Stacey L.
Published: May 2022

This paper studies the effects of a unique multi-day cyberattack on a technology service provider (TSP). Using several confidential daily datasets, we identify and quantify first- and second-round effects of the event. For banks using relevant services of the TSP, the attack impaired their ability to send payments over Fedwire, even though the Federal Reserve extended the time they had to submit payments. This impairment (first-round effect) caused other banks to receive fewer payments (second-round effect), leaving them at risk of having too few reserves to send their own payments (a potential third-round effect). These innocent-bystander banks responded differently depending on their size and reserve holdings. Those with sufficient reserves drew down their reserves. Of the others, smaller banks borrowed from the discount window, while larger banks borrowed in the federal funds market. These significant adjustments to operations and funding prevented the second-round effect from spilling over into third-round effect and broader financial instability. These findings highlight the important role for bank contingency planning, liquidity buffers, and the Federal Reserve in supporting the financial system’s recovery from a cyberattack.
A Parsimonious Model of Idiosyncratic Income
Authors: Crawley Edmund , Holm Martin Blomhoff , Tretvoll Håkon
Published: May 2022

The standard model of permanent and transitory income is known to be misspecified. Estimates of income volatility in the model differ depending on the type of data moments used—levels or differences—and how these moments are weighted in the estimation. We propose two changes to the standard model. First, we account for the time-aggregated nature of observed income data. Second, we allow transitory shocks to persist for varying lengths of time. With only one additional parameter, our proposed model consistently recover the parameters of the income process irrespective of the estimation method. To the extent that researchers employ the standard model, we advise special caution with the use of first-difference moments.
The Dominant Currency Financing Channel of External Adjustment
Authors: Casas Camila , Meleshchuk Sergii , Timmer Yannick
Published: May 2022

We provide evidence of a new channel of how exchange rates affect trade. Using a novel identification strategy that exploits firms' foreign currency debt maturity structure in Colombia around a large depreciation, we show that firms experiencing a stronger debt revaluation of dominant currency debt due to a home currency depreciation compress imports relatively more while exports are unaffected. Dominant currency financing does not lead to an import compression for firms that export, hold foreign currency assets, or are active in the foreign exchange derivatives markets, as they are all hedged against a revaluation of their debt. These findings can be rationalized through the prism of a model with costly state verification and foreign currency borrowing. Dominant currency pricing mutes the effects of dominant currency financing on imports relative to producer currency pricing.

Non-War Activities in Cyberspace as a Factor Driving the Process of De-Bordering
Authors: Dziwisz Dominika
Published: May 2022

Whereas war is the continuation of politics by other means, a new space between diplomacy and open conflict is now becoming available for state and non-state actors, tempting them with the promise of achieving a strategic advantage over an opponent without risking the escalation of the conflict to the level of kinetic aggression. From that perspective, the ongoing shift of states and societies into cyberspace is becoming extremely interesting. As it blurs national borders, it offers an excellent dimension in which to exercise non-war activities, enabling reduction of kinetic aggression in the three basic dimensions of warfare (land, air, and sea) and providing new means of reaching one’s political objectives. The aim of this article is twofold. Firstly, it discusses the changing nature of borders and examines the impact of non-war doctrine on the functions played by national borders. Secondly, it analyzes how states utilize these activities to achieve political goals and gain strategic advantage over opponents, as well as to what extent they foster de-bordering.
Why Do High‐Performing School Leavers Aspire to Occupations Atypical of Their Qualification?
Authors: Eberhard Verena , Schnitzler Annalisa , Mentges Hanna
Published: May 2022

In Germany, the dual system of vocational education and training is an attractive alternative to tertiary programmes for school leavers with a higher education entrance certificate (HEEC). Most adolescents with this qualification opt for training occupations where the majority of apprentices hold an HEEC (e.g., bank clerk). This decision seems sensible considering that such training occupations are difficult for people with lower school‐leaving certificates to access and promise better career outcomes. Nevertheless, some adolescents with an HEEC enter occupations that are not typical of their school‐leaving qualification. This article examines under which circumstances adolescents with an HEEC aspire to training occupations atypical of their level of education and thus accept lower career outcomes. Following the rational choice paradigm, we expect differences in perceived benefit and probability of success between school leavers with an HEEC opting for HEEC occupations as opposed to non‐HEEC occupations. Using data from the 2018 DZHW Panel Study of German School Leavers With an HEEC, our logistic regression models show that the individuals’ self‐assessed strengths and their occupational goals explain why they aspire to training occupations atypical of their qualification. Contrary to our assumption, adolescents from academic families are not less likely to aspire to non‐HEEC occupations.
The effect of nutritional support on nutritional status, quality of life, and survival in cancer patients receiving systemic anticancer therapy
Authors: Obukhova Olga A. , Kurmukov Ildar A. , Ryk Alla A.
Published: May 2022

Malnutrition, a common problem among cancer patients, due to the direct influence of the tumor and the consequences of specific therapy, negatively affects the patients quality of life and is detrimental to the results of anticancer treatment. Nutritional support plays a vital role in systemic drug anticancer therapy; however, malnutrition that develops against a background of malignant neoplasms remains underestimated and receives little attention in clinical practice.
To assess the need for and safety of nutritional support in this context, an analysis of publications in the medical databases e-Library, PubMed, and Medline was performed with an emphasis on assessing the safety and efficacy of NP in the presence of systemic drug antitumor treatment for the period 20032022 using the keywords oncology, chemotherapy, nutritional support, omega-3 fatty acids, and glutamine.
The obtained data show that patients with cancer have anorexia-cachexia syndrome, leading to the development of sarcopenia, which negatively affects the results of specific therapy. Timely appointment of nutritional support significantly improves the results of treatment, as well as quality of life, and increases the survival rate in patients receiving non-surgical anticancer therapy; moreover, nutritional support administered in parallel with anticancer drug therapy improves treatment results.
High-intensity laser therapy of patients with atrophic scars: results of a comparative prospective interventional cohort study
Authors: Kurganskaya Inga G. , Kluchareva Svetlana V.
Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND: Scars of various sizes and localization are formed in more than 100 million patients annually. Atrophic scarring defects of the skin are verified in more than 80% of patients with acne and in 30% of patients with other injuries. Different skin remodeling technologies have different effectiveness, which actualizes the search for optimal methods of scar correction. The most promising of them are combinations of high-intensity laser radiation.
AIMS: Determination of therapeutic effects of high-intensity laser therapy in patients with atrophic skin scars.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective interventional cohort comparative study of the therapeutic effects of high-intensity laser therapy in patients with atrophic skin scars was conducted. In patients with emerging scars, a combination of homogeneous photothermolysis by long-pulse Nd:YAG laser radiation (l=1.064 microns) followed by fractional ablative photothermolysis of CO2 laser (l=10.6 microns) was used, and in patients with mature scars, a combination of homogeneous photothermolysis of long-pulse Nd:YAG laser (l=1.064 microns) and planar laser photodestruction of CO2 laser (l=10.6 microns).
115 patients with the diagnosis of "atrophic scars" (ICD-X, Class XII "Diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue", L90.5) were examined, among which groups with emerging (49 patients) and mature (66 patients) scars were identified. Empirical research methods ― clinical, instrumental, and medico-sociological ― have been applied. The analysis of the obtained data was carried out using the methods of descriptive, parametric and multifactorial statistics with the determination of the specific weight of the studied features.
RESULTS: The improvement of the clinical status, pronounced remodeling of the skin in the area of atrophic scars, under the influence of various combinations of high-intensity laser therapy was revealed. An increase in the quality of life indicators according to the Skindex-29 and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) scales was determined, more pronounced in the groups of patients with atrophic scars in comparison with the group of patients with mature scar deformities. Combinations of high-intensity laser therapy have a favorable safety profile, are characterized by a high degree of compliance and satisfaction with the results of treatment. The effectiveness of variant high-intensity laser therapy in patients with atrophic scars is 8690%.
CONCLUSIONS: Combinations of high-intensity laser therapy in patients with developing atrophic scars cause dermoplastic and fibromodeling therapeutic effects, in patients with mature ones ― reepithelizing, fibrocorrecting therapeutic effects.

Authors: Tlish Marina M. , Osmolovskaya Polina S.
Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND: Taking into consideration importance of a stress factor in the pathogenesis of lichen ruber planus, it seems reasonable and promising to include safe and effective methods for its correction in the therapy of such patients.
AIMS: To evaluate efficiency of the combination therapy in patients with lichen ruber planus with inclusion of cranial electrotherapy stimulation and fabomotizole medication.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The object of the study included 65 patients (42 women ― 64.6% and 23 men ― 35.4% at the ages from 18 to 75 (43.815.3 years) with a common typical form of lichen ruber planus. Duration of the disease ranged from 1 to 42 months (13.311.6 months). Two groups were formed by the method of adaptive randomization. In the main group (n=33), patients received chloroquine of 250 mg orally twice a day, topical glucocorticosteroids and additionally cranial electrotherapy stimulation. In the comparison group (n=32), the similar therapy was carried out, but instead of cranial electrotherapy stimulation, fabomotizole of 10 mg was prescribed orally 3 times a day after meals. The course of hospital treatment in both groups was 21 days, the follow-up was 12 weeks. Results of the therapy were assessed on the 7; 14 and 21st days. The examination algorithm included: assessment of clinical manifestations taking into account the Index Lichen Planus; the impact of pruritus on the daily life of patients with the help of the generally accepted Behavioral rating scores questionnaire; study of the psychoemotional state of patients using the Dermatology Life Quality Index, Hamilton Anxiety Scale and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale.
RESULTS: Before prescription of the therapy in both groups, there were no statistically significant differences (p 0.001) in the studied indices, scales, and questionnaire. After the combination therapy in association with cranial electrotherapy stimulation in patients of the main group, starting from the 7th day of the therapy, significantly more favorable results were achieved in terms of the studied parameters (Index Lichen Planus, Dermatology Life Quality Index, Hamilton Anxiety Scale and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale). As for the effect of pruritus on the daily activities of patients (Behavioral rating scores questionnaire), in both groups there was its equally statistically significant (p 0.001) decrease. Patients of the main group and the comparison group tolerated the treatment well, there were no side effects.
CONCLUSIONS: In the main group, using cranial electrotherapy stimulation, normalization of indicators reflecting the activity of the skin pathological process, psychoemotional state and dermatology life quality was statistically significant and took place within a shorter period of time.

Published: May 2022

The medical The specifics of the course of the epidemic process in military collectives in the context of globalization, re-equipment for new types of advanced weapons and military equipment in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, when conducting combat training and special operations in the field, as well as when new, previously unknown pathogens of infectious diseases appear, require scientific research on the features of the spread of infectious diseases in modern conditions. This article discusses the main features of the course of the epidemic process of the military contingent when performing special tasks in various conditions of daily activity of troops, as well as various factors that contribute to the introduction of infectious diseases in military units and conditions for the spread of infectious diseases in military collectives. Until recently, the epidemic process in the military collective was relatively Autonomous and was determined primarily by internal factors inherent in military collectives. Today, the epidemic situation in military garrisons is determined by the epidemic situation in the Russian Federation and in the world as a whole. Significant relevance of problematic issues related to the organization and conduct of sanitary and anti-epidemic (preventive) measures in military collectives, due to the need to maintain a stable sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, involves conducting scientific research to review (amend) some of the principles and mechanisms of the current system of sanitary and anti-epidemic provision of troops. For the stable functioning of the system of sanitary and anti-epidemic support of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the work of officials carrying out Federal state sanitary and epidemiological surveillance must be carried out in strict accordance with the current regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation (bibliography: 10 refs).
Medical decision-making support system based on bayesian networks in medical diagnostics
Authors: Levan'kov Bogdan V. , Vyborov Evgeniy M. , Yakovenko Nikita I.
Published: May 2022

Modern level of medical science development provides the attending doctor with thousands of various diagnostic and therapeutic techniques as well as medicines. Practically applicating them, the clinician has to take into account a variety of factors: indications and contraindications of the method or modalities of treatment, characteristics of the patient and the course of the disease, compatibility or strengthening of the influence of certain examination methods, medications on each other, individual drug intolerance and contraindications in the patient. It becomes more difficult to keep all this in memory and make error-free, correct and timely decisions. Moreover, the situation is rapidly aggravated by the fact that the volume of knowledge in medicine is growing incrementally, and the time for a doctor to make an appropriate decision when making a diagnosis does not increase. In this regard, the question of creating a system that will minimize the time for a doctor to make a decision on the presence of a particular disease arises.
AIM: To develop a medical decision-making support system based on Bayesian networks in diagnosing patients.
RESULTS: A variant of the medical decision support system for the diagnosis of cold, flu and coronavirus are considered. A Bayesian network model using the GeNIe Academic software is proposed. The results of the percentages of possible diseases of the patient based on the existing symptoms are obtained.
CONCLUSION: The approach to the decision support system construction considered in the article is intended to assist doctors in making a diagnosis to a patient based on his anamnesis. It should be noted that the constructed Bayesian network can be modified by adding other symptoms with their conditional probabilities and adjusting the existing ones after expert judgment (6 figs, bibliography: 6 refs).
To the history of the journal "Izvestia of the Imperial Military Medical Academy"
Authors: Mamaeva Svetlana A. , Borisov Dmitriy N.
Published: May 2022

One Five years ago, the publication of the journal Izvestia of the Imperial Military Medical Academy, which was published in the period from 1900 to 1917, was resumed. Purpose of the article: based on the constituent documents and other documentary evidence, to consider the history of this scientific and practical publication, the goals and objectives of its establishment, the main purpose, structure of sections and topics of publications; outline the circle of personalities who have made the greatest contribution to the existence of the journal: initiators of its creation, editors, regular authors. The work describes in detail the functions of the editorial office and the practical aspects of interaction with authors. Particular attention is paid to the details of the reform undertaken in 1911, aimed at raising the scientific authority of the publication as the official organ of the Academys press and expanding the circle of its subscribers. As a result of the reform, noticeable structural and substantive changes took place in the journal. The Izvestia pages contained: original scholarly works prepared in academic clinics and laboratories; lectures by professors and teachers of the Academy, in which new important discoveries were stated, new directions in medical science were established; abstracts of dissertations defended at the academy; minutes of meetings of scientific societies affiliated with the academy; news chronicle of academic life; information about new orders for the educational and economic part of the academy, about vacancies, new appointments at the academy; academic archives and conference minutes; lists of current admissions to the library of the academy; statistics on morbidity and mortality in St. Petersburg, etc. Thus, the journal was a full-fledged official press organ of the Military Medical Academy. The novelty of the work lies in the fact that the first attempt was made to systematically present the history of this journal, as well as to understand its role and significance for the development of science at the Military Medical Academy, in increasing its scientific prestige in the country and abroad. The practical significance lies in the fact that the historical experience of publishing this journal, which is summarized in the article, can be useful for formulating a mission and implementing a successful publishing policy by its successor, Izvestia of the Russian Military Medical Academy (6 figs, bibliography: 18 refs).

Human verification is important to avoid spamming over the internet. Internet has grown tremendously in the last decade. Introduction to preference personalization make the users experience and attract more people. This has deemed it necessary to verify that some of the actions are carried out by a human rather than a computer program to generation of invalid traffic and prevent fraudulence. Methods like Captcha and ReCaptcha have extensively used to overcome this challenge but with the advancements in machine leaning and artificial intelligence, these techniques have started to become obsolete. So, to address this issue we are proposing a phase based human verification process using a combination of neural network and machine learning.

Published: May 2022

The diagnosis of students’ pre-class hands-on operation capacity helps to group the students scientifically to facilitate the teaching for experimental training of skill training courses, and benefits the capacity complementation and team spirit cultivation. Practically speaking, the relevant results have rarely been implemented in the practical teaching of skill training courses. No literature has analyzed the correlation between grouped teaching for experimental training, and the key competences of students for skill training courses. To solve the problem, this paper constructs a grouped teaching strategy for experimental training based on deep learning. The key competences of students for skill training courses were evaluated from four aspects, namely, general training objective, thinking training, practical training, and scientific literacy training. The evaluation results were used to diagnose the students’ pre-class hands-on operation capacity, and reasonably group the students participating in experimental training. The deep learning model was called to group students of different majors for experimental training courses. The attention mechanism was added to prevent over fitting, when there are a few samples for capacity diagnosis. The proposed model was proved effective through experiments.

Published: May 2022

Proving amount of injured person’s damage caused by committed crime is important issue both theoretically and practically. In doctrine can be observed divergent approaches as to who is responsible for proving in this respect. This article emphasizes role of injured person as a direct interest in obtaining compensation and highlights the importance of settling the matter of redressing damage in amount actually caused in criminal trial. Determination of amount of damage should become the subject of proving in course of fair criminal trial. Therefore, even if it is not necessary to determine extent of damage to judge perpetrator and prosecute him or her, criminal court is obliged to determine amount of damage, whether due to initiative of victim or ex officio, if there are grounds to order compensation and when it will not lead to excessive length and stratification of the evidentiary proceedings.
Bigfoot Inspires Youth: Teaching Leave No Trace through Afterschool Partnerships
Authors: Ahl Peter , Hill Eddie , Leary Andrew , Lawhon Ben
Published: May 2022

This study describes a program developed with the coordination of four agencies to reconnect urban youth to nature by combining the best of each partner. Many urban youth are disconnected from nature. Recent studies show that youth only spend about 15-25 minutes daily outdoors recreating. Youth are now exposed to high-arousing stimuli from technology. Youth who spend time in nature have demonstrated improved test scores, self-discipline and have become more environmentally aware. Out of school time (OST) programs can provide an effective setting for outdoor-based programs. The Leave No Trace for Every Kid educational initiative focuses on educating youth about nature through a values and asset development. Partnering with the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics, the YMCA, a public school, and a local university, an innovative program was launched using the stewardship curriculum in an after-school program.
Developmental Experiences in Seasonal Employment: A National Mixed-Methods Study of Camp Staff
Authors: Povilaitis Victoria , Sibthorp Jim
Published: May 2022

As the labor market has tightened, seasonal recreation employers have struggled to find and hire quality staff. Operating under tight budgetary constraints due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many seasonal employers are looking for alternatives to pay increases to attract staff. Emerging adults, defined as people between 18 and 29 years of age, are commonly seeking seasonal employment to complement their school schedules during the summer months. Therefore, adding non-monetary value to these seasonable employment experiences may encourage further interest from emerging adults. Emerging adults are generally focused on understanding who they are and what they want out of life. This type of learning is often facilitated through experiences that offer opportunities to be socially and emotionally supported (Yohalem et al., 2007), build meaningful relationships with others (Lerner & Lerner, 2013), try and experiment in new contexts and activities (Durlak et al., 2010), and contribute in significant ways (Eccles & Gootman, 2002). Collectively, such experiences are often termed developmental experiences (Nagaoka et al., 2015). Seasonal employment experiences that are developmental offer emerging adults non-monetary value that they may find attractive. Therefore, the purpose of this paper was to understand developmental experiences reported by emerging adult summer camp employees as a way to inform seasonal staffing efforts. Participants were 254 individuals (Mage = 19.8 years), majority female (68.9%) and White (76%) who were recruited from a longitudinal study and were camp staff during summer 2018. A convergent design was used, including data from semi-structured interviews and quantitative surveys. Qualitative data were analyzed inductively and deductively, and within-subjects designs (RMANOVAs and paired t-tests) were used to analyze quantitative data. The reported employment experiences generally aligned with the existing literature on important characteristics of developmental experiences and were categorized as experiential and engaging activities, positive social and emotional climate, supportive relationships, and meaningful contributions. An additional characteristic, less consistent with the extant literature, separate time and space, was also present. Implications for practice are offered, highlighting ways to facilitate developmental experiences for camp staff and reduce characteristics that may hinder developmental experiences.
Finite element analysis of steel-concrete composite connection with prefabricated permanent steel form
Authors: Ju Hyunjin , Lee Deuckhang , Choi Dong-Uk
Published: May 2022

Composite structural members are widely used due to superior performance to traditional structural members consisting of either concrete or steel material. This study proposes steel-concrete composite beam-column connections utilizing prefabricated permanent steel form and presents a finite element analysis to ver-ify the structural performance of the system, which is based on the experimental data conducted under cyclic loading protocol simulating seismic action. Five different design specimens are covered where the key varia-bles include the asymmetric section of the steel beam, the type of the column, and the detail of longitudinal reinforcement placement. The specimens were modeled in ABAQUS with solid and truss elements for concrete and steel parts, respectively. In addition, the nonlinear material behavior of the concrete was considered in the model where the concrete damaged plasticity model was assigned. The interaction between concrete and steel was also investigated to capture the structural behavior of the specimens measured from the test. The analysis showed that the concrete section improves the structural performance of the composite beam while preventing the steel beam from bucking. The finite element analysis was not capable of catching the strength degradation at the ultimate state but provided reliable results with overall moment-story drift behavior.

The article analyses the southern part of the expansion of the Bzura-Ner Spillway (Bzura-Ner Pradolina), called the Koło Basin as well as neighbouring areas of the Łask Upland Plain and the Turek Upland Plain. The purpose of the study was to present the role of Pleistocene glaciations, especially the Warta Glaciation and, in particular, their role in the evolution of land relief in this area. It was noted that morphological activity of continental glaciers depended on morphology, lithology and dynamics of the bedrock. Special attention was paid to effects characteristic of the transgression and disappearance of the Warta ice sheet. A survey of geological and geomorphological literature, analyses of archival data, mainly the accounts of geological drillings as well as results of geomorphological and palaeogeomorphological research constitute the basis for the presented data and views. It was found that successive continental glaciers had reduced height differences of the Pleistocene bedrock without obliterating the main forms in the area. Despite the genetic diversity of forms, postglacial forms and sediments – which emerged during the glaciation of the Warta (the last glaciation in this area) – play a predominant part in the described area. The features of glacial tills and fluvioglacial and limnoglacial sediments which form Wartian mounds, hills, and ridges prove that at the end of the Warta glaciation, during deglaciation (in the Bzura sub-phase), the dynamics of glacial processes was intensified. Accumulation of ice in the lower part of the current Koło Basin was conducive to increased dynamics of the ice lobe through oscillations and, possibly, through glacial surges. However, activity of the ice sheet edge has been blurred as a result of areal deglaciation, which is documented by numerous kames – the most widespread convex glacial forms in the area.

This study investigates the flora of 20 oxbow lakes in the Warta valley near Uniejów, ten of which are situated between the river-bed and the flood embankment, and ten are behind the flood bank. 152 plant species have been identified in the studied area: 112 within the embankment, and 148 outside of it. The plants include Nymphaea alba, Lemna gibba and Wolffia arrhiza, as well as Dianthus superbus and Thalictrum lucidum on the banks. The flora oxbow lakes behind the flood bank includes a greater proportion of anthropofites and more synanthropic vegetation than inside the embankment.To prevent further synanthropisation of the flora, a buffer zone should be created around the oxbow lakes consisting of semi-natural meadow vegetation and single trees. All natural water reservoirs should come under legal protection as ecological lands.

Since 2011 the authors have been researching the regional features of rural construction in the region of Kolska Structural Basin and in its vicinity. The specific nature of this region involves a high share of buildings erected from the local building stone – upper-Cretaceous limestone silica building stone. The material, common in the area about 1000 km2 in size, is used for outcropping in the region of the village of Rożniatów, the Uniejów commune, where such formations appear on the surface in the upper layer. The article presents the results of research referring to the Uniejów commune, in which there has been listed about 30% of the total of more than 2000 buildings made from limestone silica building stone. Such a considerable distribution of that material not typical of lowland facilitated the study of the technology applied in the regional rural construction, as well as the architectonic solutions used. The buildings made from limestone silica building stone represented by housing and livestock structures, barns, churches and special structures, due to their unique character, provide a very characteristic element of the local landscape. Unfortunately, from year to year the number of structures demonstrating the regional specific nature in the commune has been decreasing. The deteriorating technical condition of the buildings results in launching maintenance works where the stone is replaced with today’s building materials. More and more structures get demolished. It is necessary to initiate the protection of that unique heritage of material culture. In such actions a special role should be played by local government.

Manorial farms were shaping for several centuries the economic and social relations as well as the architectural space. They were at first created in church estates, to become gradually the property of other social groups. They often were places of exploitation of the peasants, but also places of dissemination of innovations and improvement of agricultural practices. As the development of trade and transport routes was progressing, they played an important part in the development of handicraft. The end of XVIII century and beginning of XIX century were a period of intensive socio-economic changes and the growth of industry, which brought changes in the functioning of manorial farms (mechanization, introduction of new crops and fertilizers. This resulted in increased numbers of the poorest rural workers with no farmland, who subsequently became the source of cheap labour for the growing industrial centres (e.g. Łódź, Zgierz). The end of XIX century witnessed a slow decline of this type of farms. World War I brought more radical changes in forms of ownership and farming, defined in laws of 1920-1925. The next stage of transformations came after World War II, introduced by laws of 1944-1949.

High quality of life is increasingly regarded as the main development goal at local, regional, national and international level. Representatives of territorial units employ various strategies designed to improve the residents’ living conditions, which translates into higher quality of life. This, however, would not be possible without taking into account the opinions and preferences of the residents. Public opinion is a key element in taking actions to enhance the quality of life because it makes the management of this process more effective. This article presents the results of surveys concerning evaluation of selected aspects of the quality of life in Uniejów, such as accessibility of certain services and functioning of key institutions in the town. The findings have not only the cognitive character but can also be valuable in practical applications.

Background: Maize is gaining importance among cereal crops as it is a good source of nutrition and phytochemical compounds. Among various pathogens attacking maize, banded leaf and sheath blight (BLSB) caused by Rhizoctonia solani f.sp sasakii is a very serious impediment for quality maize production. All the plant parts got infected with this disease under severe conditions. When this fungus completes its life cycle, it produces sclerotia on different plant parts which serve as inoculum for disease development in the upcoming season. Methods: Keeping in view the economic value of the crop, occurrence and losses caused by this disease worldwide, the experiment on disease management was conducted to evaluate different fungicides under field conditions at Regional Research Station Uchani, Karnal of CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar. The effects on yield parameters were also recorded. Result: Results showed that all five fungicides were effective in controlling this disease and increasing yield as compared to the untreated checks. Azoxystrobin @ 0.1% foliar sprays twice at 30 and 45 DAS was found most effective in reducing the disease upto 73.54 per cent and increasing the grain yield (64.06 q/ha) by 77.30 per cent as compared to untreated control.
