Authors: Gancarz Marek , Wawrzyniak Jolanta , Gawrysiak-Witulska Marzena , Wiącek Dariusz , Nawrocka Agnieszka , Rusinek Robert
Published: July 2017

Investigations were performed to examine the possibility of using an electronic nose to monitor development of fungal microflora during the first eighteen days of rapeseed storage. The Cyranose 320 device manufactured by Sensigent was used to analyse volatile organic compounds. Each sample of infected material was divided into three parts and the degree of spoilage was measured in three ways: analysis of colony forming units, determination of ergosterol content, and measurement of volatile organic compounds with the e-nose. Principal component analysis was performed on the generated patterns of signals and six groups of different spoilage levels were isolated. An analysis of sensorgrams for a few sensors with a strong signal for each group of rapeseed spoilage was performed. The ratio of the association time to the steady state was calculated. This ratio was different for the low level and the highest level of ergosterol and colony forming units. The results have shown that the e-nose can be a useful tool for quick estimation of the degree of rapeseed spoilage.
Application of minidisk infiltrometer to estimate water repellency in Mediterranean pine forest soils
Authors: Alagna Vincenzo , Iovino Massimo , Bagarello Vincenzo , Mataix-Solera Jorge , Lichner Ľubomír
Published: July 2017

Assessment of soil water repellency (SWR) was conducted in the decomposed organic floor layer (duff) and in the mineral soil layer of two Mediterranean pine forests, one in Italy and the other in Spain, by the widely-used water drop penetration time (WDPT) test and alternative indices derived from infiltration experiments carried out by the minidisk infiltrometer (MDI). In particular, the repellency index (RI) was calculated as the adjusted ratio between ethanol and water soil sorptivities whereas the water repellency cessation time (WRCT) and the specifically proposed modified repellency index (RIm) were derived from the hydrophobic and wettable stages of a single water infiltration experiment. Time evolution of SWR and vegetation cover influence was also investigated at the Italian site. All indices unanimously detected severe SWR conditions in the duff of the pine forests. The mineral subsoils in the two forests showed different wettability and the clay-loam subsoil at Ciavolo forest was hydrophobic even if characterized by organic matter (OM) content similar to the wettable soil of an adjacent glade. It was therefore assumed that the composition rather than the total amount of OM influenced SWR. The hydraulic conductivity of the duff differed by a factor of 3.8–5.8 between the two forested sites thus influencing the vertical extent of SWR. Indeed, the mineral subsoil of Javea showed wettable or weak hydrophobic conditions probably because leaching of hydrophobic compounds was slowed or prevented at all. Estimations of SWR according to the different indices were in general agreement even if some discrepancies were observed. In particular, at low hydrophobicity levels the SWR indices gathered from the MDI tests were able to signal sub-critical SWR conditions that were not detected by the traditional WDPT index. The WRCT and modified repellency index RIm yielded SWR estimates in reasonable agreement with those obtained with the more cumbersome RI test and, therefore, can be proposed as alternative procedures for SWR assessment.
Ponded infiltration in a grid of permanent single-ring infiltrometers: Spatial versus temporal variability
Authors: Votrubova Jana , Dohnal Michal , Vogel Tomas , Tesar Miroslav , Jelinkova Vladimira , Cislerova Milena
Published: July 2017

Temporal variability of the soil hydraulic properties is still an open issue. The present study deals with results of ponded infiltration experiments performed annually in a grid of permanent measurement points (18 spatial and 14 temporal replicates). Single ring infiltrometers were installed in 2003 at a meadow site in the Bohemian Forest highlands, the Czech Republic. The soil at the plot is coarse sandy loam classified as oligotrophic Eutric Cambisol. Soil water flow below infiltration rings has distinctly preferential character.

The results are marked with substantial interannual changes of observed infiltration rates. Considering just the results from the initial four years of the study, the temporal variability did not exceed the spatial variability detected in individual years. In later years, a shift to extremely high infiltration rates was observed. We hypothesize that it is related to structural changes of the soil profile possibly related to combined effect of soil biota activity, climatic conditions and experimental procedure. Interestingly, the temporal changes can partly be described as fluctuations between seemingly stable infiltration modes. This phenomenon was detected in the majority of rings and was found independent of the initial soil moisture conditions.
Application and recalibration of soil water retention pedotransfer functions in a tropical upstream catchment: case study in Bengawan Solo, Indonesia
Authors: Rustanto Andry , Booij Martijn J. , Wösten Henk , Hoekstra Arjen Y.
Published: July 2017

Hydrological models often require input data on soil-water retention (SWR), but obtaining such data is laborious and costly so that SWR in many places remains unknown. To fill the gap, a prediction of SWR using a pedotransfer function (PTF) is one of the alternatives. This study aims to select the most suitable existing PTFs in order to predict SWR for the case of the upper Bengawan Solo (UBS) catchment on Java, Indonesia. Ten point PTFs and two continuous PTFs, which were developed from tropical soils elsewhere, have been applied directly and recalibrated based on a small soil sample set in UBS. Scatter plots and statistical indices of mean error (ME), root mean square error (RMSE), model efficiency (EF) and Pearson’s correlation (r) showed that recalibration using the Shuffled Complex Evolution-University of Arizona (SCE-UA) algorithm can help to improve the prediction of PTFs significantly compared to direct application of PTFs. This study is the first showing that improving SWR-PTFs by recalibration for a new catchment based on around 50 soil samples provides an effective parsimonious alternative to developing a SWR-PTF from specifically collected soil datasets, which typically needs around 100 soil samples or more.
Isothermal and non-isothermal infiltration and deuterium transport: a case study in a soil column from a headwater catchment
Authors: Sobotková Martina , Sněhota Michal , Budínová Eva , Tesař Miroslav
Published: July 2017

Isothermal and non-isothermal infiltration experiments with tracer breakthrough were carried out in the laboratory on one intact column (18.9 cm in diameter, 25 cm in height) of sandy loam soil. For the isothermal experiment, the temperature of the infiltrating water was 20°C to the initial temperature of the sample. For the two non-isothermal experiments water temperature was set at 8°C and 6°C, while the initial temperature of the sample was 22°C. The experiments were conducted under the same initial and boundary conditions. Pressure heads and temperatures were monitored in two depths (8.8 and 15.3 cm) inside the soil sample. Two additional temperature sensors monitored the entering and leaving temperatures of the water. Water drained freely through the perforated plate at the bottom of the sample by gravity and outflow was measured using a tipping bucket flowmeter. The permeability of the sample calculated for steady state stages of the experiment showed that the significant difference between water flow rates recorded during the two experiments could not only be justified by temperature induced changes of the water viscosity and density. The observed data points of the breakthrough curve were successfully fitted using the two-region physical non-equilibrium model. The results of the breakthrough curves showed similar asymmetric shapes under isothermal and non-isothermal conditions.
The Influence of Silicon and Multinutrient Fertilizer On the Quality and Chemical Composition of Gazania Rigens ‘Kiss Yellow’, Salvia Farinacea ‘Fairy Queen’ and Verbena ‘Obsession Lilac’ Plants

Published: July 2017

Silicon supplementation may lead to positive changes in plant quality, including their appearance. The two-factorial experiment with three ornamental plant taxa Gazania rigens ‘Kiss Yellow’, Salvia farinacea ‘Fairy Queen’ and Verbena ‘Obsession Lilac’ was conducted in the years 2012-2013. The first factor was foliar application of Si in form of ortho-silicic acid stabilized with choline (YaraVita Actisil) at the concentrations of 60, 120 and 180 mg·dm-3, while the second was soil application of multinutrient fertilizer (Insol U) at the concentrations of 0.25% and 0.50%. Biometric measurements of plants were carried out at the beginning of flowering. The laboratory analyses included the determination of the content of P, K, Ca, Mg and Si as well as chlorophyll content in the leaves. Silicon had a beneficial influence on a majority of the analysed morphological features. Plants reacted best to high silicon doses (120 and 180 mg·dm-3). Particularly beneficial effects were noted with respect to improved flowering of all analysed plant taxa and to the vegetative development of Salvia and Gazania. Insol U supplementation noticeably improved the flowering of Verbena.
The effect of different seeding densities of linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) on flax flea beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
Authors: Twardowski Jacek , Hurej Michał , Ścibior Radosław , Kotecki Andrzej
Published: July 2017

Linseed, one of the oldest cultivated crops, is again gaining in importance, mainly due to its nutritional benefits and biomedical applications. Therefore, it is expected that herbivores will also exist in greater abundance. Among them the flea beetle,Aphthona euphorbiaeSchrank andLongitarsus parvulusPaykull are considered to be serious pests of flax grown for fibre and seeds in Europe. The aim of this study was to determine flax flea beetles’ abundance, species richness and seasonal dynamics on linseed grown at different densities. It was expected that linseed seeding density can significantly affect flea beetle populations. The experiment was carried out in Lower Silesia, Poland, from 2011 to 2013. A genetically modified type of linseed overproducing flavonoids was used. Flea beetles and the damages they caused were determined on plants and also a sweep net was used for the collection of adult beetles. During the three years of the study 15 species of flea beetles were identified from oil flax plants, withA. euphorbiaeandL. parvulusbeing dominant. In terms of the total catch, the tendency was for beetle numbers to decrease with increasing plant density. Flax flea beetles feeding on linseed plants, irrespective of plant density, had two peaks of abundance. The first peak was lower and occurred in June, when plants were at the blooming stage. This peak was caused by overwintering adults who colonized crops in spring. The second, higher peak of abundance was recorded in the second half of July, when plants were at the ripening stage. This peak was formed by adults of the new generation. Each year, at the higher population peak of abundance, the flea beetles were most numerous on plants grown at the lowest density. There was one period, lasting either from mid-May to the first few days of June, or from the beginning of June to mid-June, during which the number of holes and damage on plants of each treatment were highest. During the three years of the study there were several cases of significantly higher numbers of flea beetle feeding symptoms on plants grown at the lowest density as compared to the medium and highest densities.
Conectividad mediterránea en el marco del conflicto mitridático

A parte de mantener contactos con los piratas y conseguir firmar un tratado con Q. Sertorio, cabecilla en Hispania de la oposición a L. Cornelio Sila, el monarca póntico pudo tener también negociaciones con los socii itálicos, quienes se rebelaron contra Roma ante una nueva negativa a concederles la ciudadanía romana.
The Role of Slave Markets in Migration from the Near East to Rome
Authors: Silver Morris
Published: July 2017

This paper begins with a brief review of evidence for migration to the relatively affluent city of Rome during the earlier Empire. Then it is suggested that most slaves coming to Rome at this time originated in the Greek East and that these slaves were volunteers not forcible captives. Slavery by contract made it possible for individuals to overcome credit constraints limiting their ability to borrow to finance training and migration. This view is tested by examining literary, epigraphic and archaeological evidence to decide whether slave markets in the Greek East (at Acmonia, Ephesus, Magnesia on Meander, Thyatira and Delos) and in Rome itself were suitable for processing „dangerous merchandise“ (= forcible captives). The totality of the evidence suggests they were not. Near Easterners conveyed through local and Roman slave markets were probably willing self-sellers seeking economic advancement. A new, positive, light is cast on the role of slave dealers who profited from reallocating labor power from less to more productive uses.
Law, Heresy and Judges under the Thedosian Dinasty
Authors: Paño María Victoria Escribano
Published: July 2017

Religious legislation against heretics was an innovation in the Late Roman Empire and its enforcement involved great difficulties. The provincial governors who, except in the period of the persecution of Christians, had tolerated religious diversity, were to implement exclusion laws against pagans and heretical groups. This paper analyzes the form of interaction between bishops, emperors and judges in the issuing and enforcement of the laws against heretics, as well as casting light on the relevance of episcopal intervention as a method of informing and shaping the imperial will.
Narrativa centroamericana: frontera, violencia y exilio. Apuntes para una crónica de la corrupción
Authors: Cuevas Velasco Norma Angélica
Published: July 2017

Centroamérica ha sido campo fértil para la consolidación de una literatura ligada a los conflictos de identidad que enmarcan otro gran número de problemas sociales y políticos. A pesar de ser parte de una región que guarda una riqueza y similitud natural y antropológica vasta, es evidente que existe un afán colectivo por señalar las diferencias ideológicas y culturales que existen entre los distintos territorios políticos que segmentan la región. El artículo busca exponer cómo se construyen estas segmentaciones, como se erigen fronteras discursivas que mantienen a raya la fraternidad y profundizan las brechas que se forman entre las zonas limítrofes de estas naciones tan relacionadas entre sí por factores que van más allá de la coincidencia geográfica.  Todas las obras sometidas a lectura concentran una trama en la que los personajes se dirimen en dos clases de fronteras en las que la metáfora de la escisión recae entre las diferencias ilusorias que se forjan entre seres de distinto color de piel, nacionalidad o posición social.

Consecuencias semánticas de transformaciones gráficas en un poema de J. E. Pacheco
Authors: Dorra Raúl
Published: July 2017

Con un método cercano a la estilística, este artículo desarrolla un análisis comparativo de dos versiones de un poema de José Emilio Pacheco. Tales versiones presentan la particularidad de que la segunda repite las mismas palabras de la primeras, pero modifica la organización de los versos, con lo cual se modifica la imagen visual del poema y también la entonación de la voz en la lectura. El análisis de ambas versiones se propone mostrar cómo una transformación en el nivel gráfico produce transformaciones en el nivel semántico. De este análisis se deriva una reflexión general acerca de la escritura.

Octavio Paz y su visión de la cultura azteca
Authors: Hernández Francisco Vázquez
Published: July 2017

Este texto pretende ser una aproximación a la imagen que Octavio Paz tenía acerca de la cultura azteca. Así, se argumenta que el poeta mexicano tenía una visión negativa de dicha cultura, a la que consideraba como decadente. Esta visión negativa tiene su origen en la corriente denominada la «Nueva imagen del México antiguo», muy en boga durante los años 40´s y 50´s y que transformó el curso de los estudios mesoamericanos. Por esta razón, el texto contrasta las ideas de Paz con las de Jaques Soustelle, Laurette Séjourné y León Portilla.
Crónica festiva de Ana María González y Zúñiga a la virgen de Guadalupe: Florido ramo (1747)
Authors: Castillo Hernández Estela
Published: July 2017

Se presenta un estudio de la obra poética religiosa de Ana María González y Zúñiga. Se analiza su poema cronístico Florido ramo, que compuso para describir las festividades con las que el pueblo novohispano en 1767 celebró la jura de la virgen de Guadalupe como patrona de Nueva España. La crónica festiva de González destaca por dos razones: la primera, porque hasta ese momento la mayoría de las composiciones elaboradas en torno a la Guadalupana eran escritas por hombres; su crónica es una excepción a esta costumbre. El segundo motivo es por el buen manejo que hace la autora de varias fuentes, temas, tópicos y motivos literarios barrocos, así como de diversos lugares comunes de la literatura guadalupana, para relatar y presentar la procesión, los peregrinos, las manifestaciones devotas, los espacios, el decorado y la imagen Guadalupana.
Manipulación, censura e imagen de autor en la nueva edición de los diarios de Alejandra Pizarnik
Authors: Piña Cristina
Published: July 2017

La comparación entre la nueva edición ampliada de 2013 de los Diarios de Alejandra Pizarnik, la primera edición de 2003 y los originales depositados en la Biblioteca de Princeton revela, por un lado, las manipulaciones a que la editora Ana Becciú sometió el material en la primera edición y las exclusiones realizadas en la segunda; por el otro, la autocensura aplicada por la propia Pizarnik a las reescrituras de los fragmentos de sus diarios de París que publicó en vida. Como consecuencia se perfilan diferentes figuras de autor y su corpus literario confirma su condición de objeto en constante mutación. El presente artículo analiza en detalle las diversas supresiones y manipulaciones por parte de la autora y su editora y las vincula con la transformación de la imagen de autor que se produce.
Identidad ciborg en la narrativa de Santiago Roncagliolo y Juan Cárdenas: dicotomías de lo orgánico y lo mecánico en la construcción del cuerpo
Authors: Gálvez Cuen Marissa , Burrola Encinas Rosa María
Published: July 2017

El principal objetivo de este artículo es el análisis de las novelas Tan cerca de la vida (2010) del peruano Santiago Roncagliolo y Ornamento (2015) del colombiano Juan Cárdenas. Interesa examinar cómo ambos textos representan la desarticulación de la idea del hombre en tanto conjunción entre cuerpo y alma, y escenifican un giro subjetivo en un sujeto posthumano y, con ello, se inscriben en una dimensión estética y cultural fundante de un nuevo realismo, encaminado a destejer las utopías fundantes de la literatura hispanoamericana y los marcos epistemológicos de la modernidad. Para este examen, hemos recurrido a las teorías sobre el sujeto ciborg, especialmente el manifiesto propuesto por Donna J. Haraway, así como a los análisis alrededor del mismo tema del investigador Adrián Escudero. Estos trabajos permiten leer las propuestas estéticas de estas dos novelas bajo una mirada filosófica y socio cultural, con especial atención en los discursos que aúnan ciencia, distopía y género.Una orientación importante en nuestras conclusiones se encamina a señalar el emergente crecimiento de narrativa con temática tecnológica, científica e incluso ciborg encaminada a representar nuevas formas de lo humano y lo artificial a partir de discursos que, o bien polarizan estos dos elementos por medio de su dicotomización o bien lo reúnen en un mismo cuerpo híbrido. Ya sea de una o de otra manera, estas construcciones dan cuenta de la forma en la que las identidades contemporáneas se plantean a partir de la adaptación y aceptación de la ciencia, al punto de hacer converger cuerpo y tecnología. Cárdenas y Roncagliolo muestran de distintas maneras la misma cara de una realidad que impera en la actualidad: el nuevo régimen ya no es el de la ciudad letrada, sino el del dominio tecnológico. Los términos para pertenecer a él ya no corresponden al poder político ni al mítico o intelectual, sino al poder adquisitivo que dispone el consumo de la tecnología y la participación de la ciencia.
Žemės ūkio kooperacija ir Lietuvos ekonominė pažanga XX amžiaus trečiame dešimtmetyje
Authors: Butkus Zenonas , Grodis Andrius
Published: July 2017

Straipsnyje nagrinėjamas kooperacijos sąjūdžio indėlis skatinant bendrą Lietuvos ūkio pažangą pirmame Nepriklausomybės dešimtmetyje. Smulkiųjų žemės ūkio gamintojų telkimasis į ko­operatyvus visuotinio nepritekliaus sąlygomis regėtas kaip optimalus kelias pertvarkyti karo ir okupa­cijų nualintą šalies agrarinį sektorių. Nuolatinis prekių deficitas lėmė, kad pirmaisiais nepriklausomo valstybinio gyvenimo metais sparčiausiai steigėsi prekybos kooperatyvai. Jie aprūpino gyventojus būti­niausiomis plataus vartojimo prekėmis, pristabdė spekuliaciją, reguliavo mažmeninės prekybos kainas šalyje. Žemės ūkio kooperacijos plėtra suintensyvėjo trečiojo dešimtmečio pirmoje pusėje, kai nuosekliai ėmė didėti žemės ūkio finansavimas ir po lito įvedimo, sumažėjus žemės ūkio produkcijos eksportui į Vokietiją, iškilo būtinybė prisitaikyti prie reiklesnės Didžiosios Britanijos rinkos. Valstybės remiamos koo­peratyvų sąjungos ėmėsi konkurencingų žemės ūkio šakų – gyvulininkystės ir paukštininkystės – plėtros, vykdė įvairias ūkininkavimo kultūros kėlimo programas. Kooperatiniais pagrindais organizuojamo pie­no ūkio vystymas atvėrė perspektyvas keisti šalies eksporto struktūrą ir, užuot išvežus žaliavinius žemės ūkio produktus, pradėti eksportuoti didesnės pridedamosios vertės perdirbtą produkciją.

Parental Management of Discharge Instructions: A Systematic Review
Authors: Glick Alexander F. , Farkas Jonathan S. , Nicholson Joseph , Dreyer Benard P. , Fears Melissa , Bandera Christopher , Stolper Tanya , Gerber Nicole , Yin H. Shonna
Published: July 2017

CONTEXT:

Parents often manage complex instructions when their children are discharged from the inpatient setting or emergency department (ED); misunderstanding instructions can put children at risk for adverse outcomes. Parents’ ability to manage discharge instructions has not been examined before in a systematic review.

OBJECTIVE:

To perform a systematic review of the literature related to parental management (knowledge and execution) of inpatient and ED discharge instructions.

DATA SOURCES:

We consulted PubMed/Medline, Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and Cochrane CENTRAL (from database inception to January 1, 2017).

STUDY SELECTION:

We selected experimental or observational studies in the inpatient or ED settings in which parental knowledge or execution of discharge instructions were evaluated.

DATA EXTRACTION:

Two authors independently screened potential studies for inclusion and extracted data from eligible articles by using a structured form.

RESULTS:

Sixty-four studies met inclusion criteria; most (n = 48) were ED studies. Medication dosing and adherence errors were common; knowledge of medication side effects was understudied (n = 1). Parents frequently missed follow-up appointments and misunderstood return precaution instructions. Few researchers conducted studies that assessed management of instructions related to diagnosis (n = 3), restrictions (n = 2), or equipment (n = 1). Complex discharge plans (eg, multiple medicines or appointments), limited English proficiency, and public or no insurance were associated with errors. Few researchers conducted studies that evaluated the role of parent health literacy (ED, n = 5; inpatient, n = 0).

LIMITATIONS:

The studies were primarily observational in nature.

CONCLUSIONS:

Parents frequently make errors related to knowledge and execution of inpatient and ED discharge instructions. Researchers in the future should assess parental management of instructions for domains that are less well studied and focus on the design of interventions to improve discharge plan management.
Вплив різних рівнів кальцію та фосфору у комбікормах на мінеральний склад скелету японських перепелів
Authors: Zlamanyuk L. M.
Published: July 2017

The authors investigated the effect of different levels of calcium and phosphorus in the mixed fodder on mineral composition of Japanese quail skeleton. Experimental studies were carried out in the conditions of the Problematic Research Laboratory of Mixed Fodder Additives, National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine (Kiev, Ukraine). We selected Japanese quail as the material for scientific and economic experience.

The experiment was conducted by groups-analogues method. Fodder was in the dry loose form. The difference in feeding was due to different levels of calcium and phosphorus in the feed for experimental groups. In the beginning of the experiment the experimental quail were similar regards live weight while in the end we did not detect significant difference in their mass. Nevertheless, we observed little decrease in live weight with increasing of phosphorus up to 1.4 % and calcium up to 3.5 %. We fixed that water content in the quail skeletons from Group 4, 5 and 6th study groups (calcium 4.0 %, phosphorus 0.8, 1,1 and 1,4 % respectively) were smaller in comparison with quails from Control, Group 2 and 3 (calcium content 3.5 % with the same level of phosphorus). We also determined increasing of dry matter content in the skeleton by 2.5 – 2.8 % while increasing the content of calcium and phosphorus in mixed fodder of quails-hens (Group 4, 5 and 6). The phosphorus content in quail skeleton depended on the level of phosphorus in the mixed fodder and can be up to 0.39-0.66 % in the bones. The simultaneous increase in the level of phosphorus and calcium in mixed fodder of experimental groups was accompanied by increase in the concentration of calcium and magnesium in the quail skeleton by 0.85–0.87 and 0.01–0.07 per cent respectively.

It was established that in the progeny of quail obtained from the parent herd, which during the growing period was fed as a source of microelements a complex of glycinates of copper, zinc, manganese, iron and cobalt with microbial β-carotene at a dose corresponding to the physiological requirement during the growing period increased the content of iron in eggs by 22,4 % compared to the control, and by 18,9 % compared to quails fed with chelates of microelements and β-carotene at a dose corresponding to half the daily requirement.

The concentration of zinc in the quail eggs of this group increased by 16,5 % compared to the control and by 21 % compared to the analogous parameters for the quails of the second experimental group, manganese by 17,4 % and 19 4 %. The increase in the content of iron, zinc and manganese in the quail eggs which feeding complex of glycinate of microelements and β-carotene, at a dose amounting to a daily requirement, indicates their high bioavailability in the digestive apparatus of the bird, their intensive absorption and accumulation in the eggs.

It was proved that the content of iron, zinc and manganese in the eggs of quail, which feeding a complex of glycinate of microelements and β-carotene at a dose corresponding to half the daily requirement of the bird, was at the control level, which indicates sufficient provision of its body with these elements.

The data obtained when feeding the complex of chelating compounds of microelements and microbial β-carotene to quails indicate an intensification of the conversion of β-carotene to retinol and an increase in the content of the latter in eggs of the quail by 19,7 %. Feeding quails of the complex of glycinate of microelements in a dose corresponding to their needs contributed to an increase in the dry matter content in the shell of the quail eggs by 2,13 % due to an increase in the ash content by 2,3 %, calcium by 0,83 %, zinc by 30,1% and manganese - by 26,5 %. Feeding quails half the daily requirement of chelates of trace elements contributed to sufficient provision of their body with these elements. The conducted studies testify to the absence of toxic effect of chelating compounds of microelements (glycinates of copper, zinc, manganese, iron and cobalt) on the quail organism, sufficient assimilation from feeds both at doses corresponding to demand, and in doses that make up half of it due to increased bioavailability in the tissues.

The features of the plant community phylogenetic organization of the Dnipro arena within the nature reserve "Dnieper-Orelsky» and the regularities of its spatial variation involving remote sensing of the earth's surface data have been stated. Materials have been collected in the period of 2012-2016 within a nature reserve. Research polygon is within the first terrace (arena) of the river Dnieper valley. The sandy steppe, meadow, forest and marsh communities in the river Protoch floodplain and beam Orlova, as well as artificial pine plantations have been found as being present within research polygon. The vegetation description has been carried out on sites 10×10 m (100 m2). Total 94 descriptions of the geobotanical sample have been made. Data on plant phylogeny have been obtained by Phylomatic service. Phylogenetic diversity of the communities has been assessed by indices Feith, Simpson and Shannon. Phylogenetic analysis has been performed by means of a double principal coordinate analysis (DPCo). Earth remote sensing data in the public domain have been obtained from EarthExplorer. Vegetation index have been calculated by images from the Sentinel satellites. Digital elevation model has been constructed with the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data. At the points in space where the geobotanical samples were collected, the value of spatial predictors has been extracted (vegetation indices and geomorphological indicators derivated from DEM).

A multiple linear regression analysis has been conducted between the values of the axes obtained by DPCoA and environment predictors. The kernel-based machine regression has been used for modeling spatial patterns of dependent variables. The vegetation cover has been found to be represented by 189 species within the investigated polygon. Abundance Phylogenetic Deviation (APD) for the investigated metacommunity has been evaluated to –0.53 which is statistically significantly different from random alternatives (p = 0.001).

APD negative value indicates that phylogenetic organization of the investigated metacommunity is overdispersed. Permutation procedure have allowed to establish that the DPCoA-axes eigenvalues obtained from the real phylogenetic tree was significantly higher than their own number for the random phylogenetic trees for the first seven axes. This indicates that the first seven axes are useful for additional information on metacommunity ordination structure. The axes 1, 2, 3 and 6 largely have been found to be labeled by vegetation index. This means that decryption of satellite images may be interpreted in terms of recent phylogenetic features of vegetation. Axis 4 and 7 have marked by geomorphological predictors. Axis 5 to some extent independent of the predictors considered as a reflection of digression-demutation vegetation caused by anthropogenic impacts.

Data on abundance and distribution on Cyanoprokaryota of alluvial soil of the Pryazov National Natural Park (PNNP) are presented. The PNNP is situated in the south part of Zaporizhzhya region near the Azov Sea. Sandy soils of the PNNP are suitable habitats for biodiversity conservation. Nevertheless. Cyanoprokaryota algae have been studying insufficiently and unevenly. 16 soil samples were sampled from the sandy habitats in the PNPP to study the Cyanoprokaryota. The sampling was carried out on the sample areas during 2014-2015 in various locations on Stepanivka Spit (Azov Sea), Fedotova Spit (Utlyutskyi Estuary), Tubalskyy estuary at the mouth Korsak, Taschenakskyi hearth (mouth of the river Tashchenak), Berdyansk Spit near the Krasne lake, Samples were sampled by a conventional algological method, treatment and identification of sampled material was performed in the Laboratory of Botany and Gardening of the Bogdan Chmelnitskiy Melitopol State Pedagogical University.
Laboratory processing of the material was carried with culturing methods in two types of cultures: soil cultures with glasses of growth and Bold’s nutrient agar with normal and triple quantity of nitrogen (1N BBM and 3 NBBM). Identification were performed with the light binocular microscope “MICROmed XS-5520” using 40x and 100x objective lenses.

Here we registered 23 cyanoprokaryota species from 3 orders (Chroococcales, Oscillatoriales, and Nostocales), 10 families (Merismopediaceae, Gomphosphaeriaceae, Microcystaceae, Chroococcaceae, Oscillatoriaceae, Phormidiaceae, Schizotrichaceae, Pseudanabaenaceae, Nostocaceae, Rivulariaceae) and 11 genera. The dominant species were Merismopedia elegans, M. glauca, Chroococcus minutus, Calothrix parietina, Leptolyngbya notata, Nostoc microscopicum, and Phormidium (Komvophoron) mucicola. Such species like Merismopedia elegans, M. glauca, Chroococcus minutus, and Calothrix parietina were found in all studied park plots with sandy soils that confirming algae wide ecological tolerance. We also discovered strong domination of aquatic species at studied habitats.

The research of modern and fossil soils was conducted at three archaeological sites: Nizhniy Kayancha, Novoilinka-3, and Tytkesken-2. Nizhniy Kayancha is a burial ground (dated 5th century BC) situated on the left bank of the Katun River (400-700 m above sea level). An archaeological site is a burial mound with seven mounds which can be visually separated within the site, and which are placed by small chains with 2–3 objects. The south mound of the first group was examined for a phytolith analysis. Еhe Novoilinka-3 settlement (dated 3rd millennium BC) is situated in the north of Kulunda, in the southern part of a hill formed by the false River Burla. The Tytkesken-2 settlement is situated on the verge of the stream Tytkesken, the left tributary of the Katun River, on its second terrace above the flood plain.

Geobotanical research was conducted in the territory of the archaeological sites under study. Grass phytoliths of modern flora were examined. Soil samples from different layers of the walls of excavation sites were collected. Phytolith extraction was based on the methods described by A.A. Golyeva. 20 g of soil, and 100 g of plant material of each species were processed during the initial period. The examination of the phytoliths of leaves, stalks and flower heads from the samples obtained from the plant material was carried out with the help of an optical microscope (Olympus BX-51). The phytoliths were counted to 250 (in ashed plants) and to 300 (in soils) particles.

More mesophytic plant communities of the ancient epochs have been reconstructed for all three examined archaeological sites. The territory of the Nizhniy Kayancha burial ground was covered by birch forest at the time prior to formation of the archaeological site. The territory of Novoilinka-3 settlement was covered by pine and birch steppificated forest in the Eneolithic period, but the territory was deforested as the settlement developed. Several stages of vegetation change have been reconstructed for the Tytkesken-2 archaeological site. This includes deforestation of pine forest and further steppe formation in the late Neolithic Age, prairiefication in the Eneolithic Age and new steppe formation in the Bronze Age up to the present time.

*** Prescriptions in mental health services: legal aspects and indicators of rational drug use ***AIMS: To evaluate the legal aspects and indicators of rational drug use in prescriptions issued by mental health services.METHODS: Prescriptions dispensed by pharmacies of reference of the Psychosocial Care Centers located in the Medio Paraopeba region, Minas Gerais, Brazil, were evaluated. A semi-structured questionnaire was developed for the collection of data, including the World Health Organization prescribing indicators and the criteria for compliance of prescriptions with the Brazilian legislation.RESULTS: A total of 390 prescriptions were analyzed, and the average number of drugs in each prescription was 2.17. It was observed that 96.78% of the drugs were prescribed by their generic names and that 97.13% were on the essential medicines list of municipalities. Legal aspects of the prescriptions were met for several criteria: 99.23% of the prescriptions had the prescriber’s signature, 98.97% showed the date of issue, and 97.69% contained minimum information for the user regarding the use of the medications. None of the assessed health centers issued prescriptions with all the necessary patient data and with information about the dispensed medications, as required by law.CONCLUSIONS: The study indicated that most of the prescriptions analyzed complied with the legal requirements and that the indicators of rational medication use were satisfactory. However, information on dispensing control and records of users was incomplete, demonstrating problems with patient identification and with the traceability of dispensed medicines.

Data on gender, age, time of diagnosis of diabetes, body mass index, physical activity, and concomitant chronic non-communicable diseases were retrieved from the clinic’s database and from patient files.RESULTS: A total of 244 elderly patients were assessed, 82.4% of whom were female. Mean age was 69.7±7 years, with a predominance of individuals aged between 60 and 74 years (76.2%). One hundred forty-seven patients (60.2%) had been diagnosed with diabetes for less than 5 years, 183 (75%) had systemic hypertension, 115 (47.1%) had dyslipidemia, and 129 (52.9%) lived a sedentary lifestyle. According to body mass index evaluation, 147 patients (60.2%) were overweight. By evaluating the association of demographic, clinical, and anthropometric variables and physical activity with overweight, there was a statistically significant association only with hypertension.CONCLUSIONS: Hypertension, overweight, and sedentary lifestyle were highly frequent in this sample of elderly diabetic patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. In addition, there was an association between overweight and hypertension. Healthcare strategies need to be developed to stimulate lifestyle changes among elderly patients in order to prevent and control the complications related to these morbidities.
