When Facebook Is the Internet
Authors: Castillo Rosa Cordillera A.
Published: July 2021

My social media engagement with research interlocutors is shaped by my positionality as a ‘halfie’ anthropologist based abroad who conducts ethnographic research on violence and peacemaking in the Philippines and the diaspora. On the one hand, social media connectivity facilitates certain research processes, networking, activism, and solidarity building. Yet with social media's security issues and amid shifting political tides, such connectivity poses ethical and security risks, resulting in social media-specific ethical concerns. I demonstrate these points through an account of my engagement with Facebook, a ubiquitous platform for communicating among Filipinos. In the process, I reflect on some of the ways in which social media connectivity between researcher and interlocutors reconfigures the relationality, temporality, hierarchies, and affect of the ethnographic ‘field’.
Selfies and Self-Fictions
Authors: Chua Liana
Published: July 2021

Through what fictions do anthropologists become co-present in ‘the field’? And what happens when ‘the field’ becomes co-present in anthropologists’ lives? In this article, I reflexively contrast two experiences of fieldwork connectedness: first, the changes to my interactions with Bidayuh villagers in rural Borneo since 2003, and, second, my recent engagement with the social media-scape of orangutan conservation. Both examples shed light on the methodological and ethical questions about the self-fictions through which anthropologists create our presence in the field—and how those fields assert their presence beyond our research projects. Recent technological developments, I suggest, thus underscore fundamental questions of how to calibrate fieldwork relations and where to locate the boundaries and openings of the anthropological self—a process that we cannot entirely control.
Germination energy and germination of different morphotypes of peas when treated with growth stimulant
Authors: Oreshnikova O. P. , Kozhukhova E. V.
Published: July 2021

The main legume crop, pea, is characterised by various morphotypes: leafy, whiskered, chameleon and other morphotypes. These morphotypes are the result of both selection work and spontaneous mutations. The relevance of the research topic is the effect of various factors, including seed treatment, on the different morphotypes. Six varieties and breeding lines of pea sown by Krasnoyarsk Research Institute of Agriculture were taken for the study: leafy Radomir, Kemchug; with the moustached leaf D-94, Ruslan; and having longitudinal heterophyllia L-19, M-6. This work aims to determine the responsiveness and variability of germination and germination energy, as well as seedling length, recorded during these periods, of different morphotypes of pea varieties and breeding lines to seed treatment with a growth stimulant. The experiment was set up in three replications with the growth stimulant treatment sodium humate and three repetitions of the control variant without remedy. Measurements of seedling length, germination energy and germination were carried out on the 4th and 8th day, respectively. The research revealed that the treatment of pea seeds increased the germination energy by 2,28% and reduced its variation by 0,55%. Chameleon morphotype samples are more responsive to treatment. The variability of the coefficient of variation of the germination energy of pea plants of different morphotypes with and without treatment is less than 10%. Stimulant treatment increases the length of seedlings by 6.34% but does not affect the morphotypes separately. The increase in size at treatment is individual for each sample. The variability of variation in the length of seedlings of control and treated examples is insignificant and unique for each model. But this variability in size decreases throughout the experiment: on the 4th day from 1.63 to 1.36, on the 8th day from 0.98 to 0.95%. In determining the germination rate, it was found that the treatment of pea seeds with a growth stimulant increases it by 3.78%. The growth gain is an individual response of each specimen and is weakly dependent on the morphotype.
Traditions about the Martyrdom and Resurrection of Daniel and the Three Youths
Authors: Somov A. B.
Published: July 2021

The article deals with the Christian legend about the persecution and martyrdom of Daniel and his three companions at the hands of a wicked Persian king. This story is found in mediaeval Eastern Orthodox liturgical, hagiographical, and homiletical texts and is based on extracanonical traditions similar to those of the “rewritten Bible” in the Old Testament Pseudepigrapha. The article demonstrates how the “canonical” story about Daniel and the Three Youths developed into this legend, which narrates their martyrdom for Christ and their subsequent resurrection together with him. The origins and textual history of this legend are discussed, as well as its content and structure. It is demonstrated that this legend combines a martyrological account, which is similar to the narrative of Dan 3, 6; 2 Macc 7, with a reinterpretation of stories about biblical heroes. In addition, it is shown how the tradition about the resurrection of the righteous, which is based on an eccentric exegesis of the New Testament passages of Math. 27:52-53 and 1 Cor 15:6, functions in this legend. The liturgical, homiletic and hagiographical traditions regarding the martyrdom and the resurrection of Daniel and the Three Youths.
Pilgrimage Stories at the turn of two eras (travel diaries by Shikhabuddin Marjani and Abdullah Munshi)
Authors: Goriaeva L. V.
Published: July 2021

The article deals with pilgrimage stories of two prominent Islamic figures, the Malay writer, publisher and teacher Abdullah Munshi (1796/7-1854) and the Tatar theologian and educator Shihabuddin Mardjani (1818-1889). Their Hajj travel diaries dating respectively from 1854 and 1880 allow us to reveal the kinship of their views and interests and the dissimilarity of the cultural and confessional contexts in which they lived and worked. For the Muslims of insular Southeast Asia, an equal problem was both comprehension of the subtleties of the Arabic language, understanding the meanings of the Koran - and mastery of the Malay literary language. There were no schools where both of these subjects would be taught, where religious preaching would go hand in hand with the study of secular disciplines and the achievements of modern science, just as it was practised in the so-called “new method” madrasahs of the Russian Empire at the end of the 19th - beginning of the 20th centuries, the herald of which was Shihabuddin Mardjani. Until now, the situation in the Malay world has not changed: the “liberal” Islam is opposed to the “literal” Islam, with its inherent rigorism of the Middle Eastern type.

Authors: Jamali Ahmed Bux , Khan Aamna
Published: July 2021

By looking at the institutional settings of SCO, it is believed that this organization has a huge potential to maximize cooperation and minimize conflicts among the member states. Founded under the leadership of Russia and China, SCO extended not only the opportunities and roadmaps for promoting bilateral trade and security collaborations of the mentioned countries but also helped promoted regional integration across Central and South Asian states. To further analyze the viability of this platform, this article seeks to evaluate the emergence of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization from a 'security institution to a multilateral organization' perspective. It will further examine SCO's role in promoting regional peace and stability and finally elucidate how far the inclusion of new members like Pakistan and India can utilize the magnitude of SCO to mitigate their tensions.

Some issues of the formation of moral values in the training of specialists in the field of law and law enforcement activities
Authors: Kramarenko Yuriy
Published: July 2021

The article focuses on the formation of moral values during the training of applicants for higher education in the specialty "law" and "law enforcement activities". The essence and purpose of higher education envisage the formation of not only an intellectual personality capable of mastering new knowledge and mastering new skills and abilities, but also the upbringing of stable moral qualities. Due to the peculiarities of professional powers and the scope of activity for specialists in the field of law and law enforcement activities, the formation of moral values is decisive. Today, we can state a decrease in the influence of higher educational institutions and teachers on the formation of moral values of applicants for higher education. Such trends largely depend on the socio-economic conditions in which society and “opinion leaders” who prevail for a certain period of time and in certain means of communication, on which the higher education system has little influence. In order to attract higher education seekers to study and self-education, it is necessary to "immerse" them in topics that interest, or at least in those topics that matter to them. The article proposes a discussion method for use in the educational process according to the pro-cedure developed by R. Ackoff. Such a discussion procedure consists of six consecutive stages, during which the parties have the opportunity not only to understand each other, but also to study the problematic issue more deeply. Such a discussion procedure will allow not only to form the appropriate competence and knowledge of the subject, but also to bring up stable moral values and views.
Aaron jako nauczyciel świadectw (Syr 45,17)
Authors: Pudełko Jolanta Judyta
Published: July 2021

W greckiej wersji Księgi Syracha dwukrotnie pojawia się termin "martyrion" (świadectwo). Oprócz Syr 36,14 pojawia się w Pochwale ojców w odniesieniu do osoby Aarona (Syr 45,17). Brat Mojżesza zostaje tam określony jako ten, który ma "nauczać Jakuba świadectw". Taka wypowiedź nie pojawia się w innych tekstach dotyczących Aarona w Biblii. Zostaje więc najpierw przeanalizowany kontekst tej wypowiedzi, a mianowicie pochwała Aarona obecna w Syr 45,6-22, a następnie porównane wersje tekstualne Syr 45,17. Zrozumienie znaczenia terminu świadectwo w tym kontekście, staje się możliwe dzięki analizie tego słowa innych kontekstach biblijnych związanych z historią Aarona i przymierza synajskiego, jak i niezależnymi od niej. W końcu wypowiedź dotycząca Aarona zostaje osadzona w czasach Syracha i tłumacza greckiej wersji księgi. Kluczowym dla zrozumienia Syr 45,17 staje się przedstawienie funkcji i znaczenia powygnaniowego arcykapłana. Jest on w rozumieniu Księgi Syracha jedynym pośrednikiem między Bogiem i ludem, znakiem przymierza, odpowiedzialnym za przekazywanie świadectw – Słowa Bożego, treści i wymagań wynikających z zawartego z Bogiem przymierza.
Symbolika światła w literaturze dydaktycznej Starego Testamentu
Authors: Laskowski Łukasz
Published: July 2021

Artykuł analizuje metaforę światłości w księgach dydaktycznych Biblii. W biblijnej tradycji oznacza ona najpierw życie doczesne. Psalmy teofanijne opisują Boga jako źródło światłości, nawet jeśli towarzyszy Mu ciemność osłaniająca Jego świętość i zapewniająca ludziom bezpieczeństwo. Światłość wiąże się z Bogiem jako stwórcą świata, a także podkreśla Jego królewską godność. Również naród wybrany jako całość, a także każdy z Izraelitów osobiście, dzięki doświadczeniu Bożej pomocy może wyznać, że Bóg jest światłością. Metaforą światłości wyraża się również prośby o to, by Bóg okazał swoją pomoc i udzielił błogosławieństwa. Kolejnym sposobem jej zastosowania jest rozumienie Prawa Bożego jako światłości prowadzącej ku Bogu. Ten element wiąże się z teologią uprawianą w nurcie tradycji mądrościowej i oznaczającą mądrość i prawdę. Metafora światłości przechodzi więc od mitologicznych obrazów korzystających z tradycji bliskowschodniej po ujęcia właściwe późniejszym księgom biblijnym.

Harmonia makrokosmosu w Syrachowym opisie ciał niebieskich (Syr 43,1-10)
Authors: Piwowar Andrzej
Published: July 2021

Syr 42,15 – 43,33 jest hymnem na cześć Stwórcy i Jego dzieła. Mędrzec wyraża w nim zachwyt nad stworzonym światem, który jest świadectwem wielkości, wszechmocy i piękna Boga. W 43,1-10 Syrach opisuje nieboskłon i ciała niebieskie (słońce, księżyc i gwiazdy). Tekst ten wyraża przede wszystkim ich niezwykłą wielkość i piękno. Jednak gdy wczytamy się dokładnie i wnikniemy głębiej w jego grecką wersję, to odkryjemy, że mówi on również o harmonii i ładzie w makrokosmosie, które z kolei świadczą o mądrości Stwórcy. Prezentacja księżyca (43,6-8) i gwiazd (43,9-10) wyraża wprost (explicite) powyższe prawdy. Natomiast w poetyckiej prezentacji firmamentu (43,1) i słońca (43,2-5) zawarte są one implicite, tzn. w znaczeniu słów takich, jak np. stereōma, oraz w zadaniach (funkcjach w świecie) przypisanych im przez Boga.

The Figurative World of Leontius, Presbyter of Constantinople. Part 2
Authors: Асмус Михаил
Published: July 2021

Второй раздел статьи посвящён анализу образного мира Леонтия как одному из факторов, подтверждающих принадлежность текстов одному автору, а также выявляющих уровень риторической подготовки и мастерства проповедника. Анализ символических образов Леонтия (Церковь и Её священнодействия, Агнец Божий, Хлеб Небесный, царская власть Христа) демонстрирует, с одной стороны, его приверженность евхаристическому реализму и цельной экклезиологии, объединяющей тайносовершительную и социальную функции Церкви, с другой стороны - выявляет некоторую размытость границ между символом и передаваемой им реальностью, увлечение художественной завершённостью образа, которое иногда приводит проповедника к отступлению от отстаиваемых им же богословских положений. Сдержанность Леонтия в развитии идеи царской власти Христа по человечеству хорошо объясняется его дохалкидонским христологическим мышлением, а также тем, что проповедник находился под свежим впечатлением от ересей конца IV в. (Маркелл Анкирский) и их осуждения на II Вселенском Соборе. Последнее позволяет более уверенно датировать леонтиевский корпус концом IV - началом V в.

Analysis of the symbolic images of Leontius (the Church and her sacraments, the Lamb of God, the Bread of Heaven, the royal power of Christ) demonstrates, on the one hand, Leontius’ commitment to Eucharistic realism and integral ecclesiology, uniting the sacramental and social functions of the Church, on the other hand, reveals some blurring of the boundaries between the symbol and the reality, and the fascination with the literary completeness of the image, which sometimes leads the preacher to deviate from the theological positions defended by him. The restraint of Leontius in the development of the idea of the royal power of Christ by His human nature is well explained by his pre-Chalcedonian Christology, as well as by the fact that the preacher was under a fresh impression of the heresies of the late 4th century (Marcellus of Anсyra) and their condemnation at the II Ecumenical Council. The latter makes it possible to more confidently date the Corpus Leontianum of the late 4th - early 5th centuries.

Then Q.S. Lukman verse 17. And Q.S Lukman verse 18. Furthermore, in Q.S: At-Tahrim. Allah commands humans to protect themselves and their children from the fires of hell. In the history of Islam before Rasulullah SWA broadcast the messages of Islam to the wider community, he preached to his family and close relatives. From this story, a reference to da'wah can be drawn to the family to educate children to become believers, obedient to worship and become children with noble character.
The concept of labor in the history of social thought
Authors:   L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University, Aubakirov E.N. , Adayeva G.A. ,   L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University
Published: July 2021

The article is devoted to the consideration and analysis of the phenomenon of labor in the historical and philosophical context. The article shows the spiritual and moral foundations of human labor activity, changes and transformation of labor relations throughout history, civilizational and ethno-confessional differences in the organization of economic activity and production. The analysis of labor as a moral category is carried out on the basis of an appeal to the concepts of prominent scientists and thinkers. Thus, the interpretation of labor in the framework of the ancient and Christian worldview is considered from the understanding of labor as a punishment for original sin to its assessment as a godly mission, where it is ontological characteristic of human life. The concept of labor in the theological teaching of Thomas Aquinas is analyzed in detail. Further, in the conditions of theformation of capitalism, a society of commoditymoney relations in the XVIII-XIX centuries there are significant changes in social status and the way of work. In these historical circumstances labor becomes a commodity. Particular attention is paid to the interpretation of the problems of labor in national philosophies. In the development of Russian social thought in this aspect, one can single out the ideas of S.N. Bulgakov, who, at the beginning of the twentieth century, analyzing the origins and spiritual factors of the formation of Russian entrepreneurship, finds its connection with the religiosity of the Old Believers. Kazakh thinkers also attached great importance to the concept of labor. Great Abai, emphasizing the role and importance of labor in the formation of the individual and the development of society, reflected this in his famous «Words of Edification». In modern conditions, among the works of Kazakh researchers, where the problems of labor are considered, one can point to the monograph by Omar Zhalel «Hareket». It focuses on etymological differences in word usage, used in the analysis of the work.

En este artículo pretendemos determinar cuáles fueron las prácticas periodísticas de la dirigencia política y sus posiciones ideológicas expresadas en los periódicos editados en la ciudad entre los años 1821 y 1850 y qué repercusiones tuvieron en las expresiones políticas, culturales y sociales de este periodo. Se presenta un recuento de los primeros pasos de las prácticas periodísticas, de cómo nació el oficio, en particular en la ciudad, señalando aquellos aspectos ejemplarizantes de tal labor. La prensa samaria tuvo una fuerte actividad política en la ciudad. Fueron años de puja partidista, por lo que predominó un periodismo político e ideológico. Como metodología se utilizó el análisis de contenido cualitativo, haciendo énfasis en aquellos registros de prensa que permitieran una interpretación hermenéutica de textos publicados en los periódicos del periodo. Proceso basado en la búsqueda, recuperación, análisis, crítica e interpretación de los discursos, noticias y editoriales publicados en los periódicos samarios de la época.

El legado de la última dictadura militar (1976-1983) y sus efectos en el presente en la sociedad argentina han sido objeto de análisis de innumerables libros escritos dentro y fuera del país, tanto en español como en inglés. De los libros publicados en Argentina en la última década, cabe mencionar dos por su gran impacto y alcance al incluir diferentes producciones culturales (cine, literatura, fotografía, teatro, rock) referidas al traumático pasado. El primero, publicado por Prometeo Libros, es el libro compilado por Fernando Reati y Margherita Cannavacciuolo, De la distancia emocional a la distancia histórica. (Re)Presentaciones del terrorismo de Estado, 40 Años después (2016). Allí, se compilan trabajos centrados en torno a las reinterpretaciones del pasado que se continúan produciendo desde el arte y el cine, con importantes análisis de colaboradores que estudian las producciones culturales de dos generaciones: la coetánea a la dictadura y la de los que eran niños durante la misma (15). El segundo libro, publicado por EUDEBA, es el editado por Jordanar Blejmar, Silvana Mandolesi y Mariana Eva Perez, El pasado Inasequible. Desaparecidos Hijos y Combatientes en el Arte y la Literatura del Nuevo Milenio (2019). El mismo reúne a una impresionante lista de expertos académicos reflexionando sobre la desaparición en hijos y combatientes de Malvinas.1 Tal como lo explican sus editoras, la “nueva estética” para referirse al traumático pasado marca el paso del tiempo, una asimilación de lo ocurrido y una perspectiva generacional que les posibilita reflexionar sobre las producciones en los años del kirchnerismo (9).

Portal frames are single-story frame buildings including columns and rafters, and their rafters can be either curved or pitched. These are used widely in the construction of industrial buildings, warehouses, gyms, fire stations, agricultural buildings, hangars, etc. The construction cost of these frames considerably depends on their weight. In the present research, the discrete optimum design of two types of portal frames including planar steel Curved Roof Frame (CRF) and Pitched Roof Frame (PRF) with tapered I-section members are presented. The optimal design aims to minimize the weight of these frame structures while satisfying some design constraints based on the requirements of ANSI/AISC 360-16 and ASCE 7-10. Four population-based metaheuristic optimization algorithms are applied to the optimal design of these frames. These algorithms consist of Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO), Enhanced Colliding Bodies Optimization (ECBO), Shuffled Shepherd Optimization Algorithm (SSOA), and Water Strider Algorithm (WSA). Two main objectives are followed in this paper. The first one deals with comparing the optimized weight of the CRF and PRF structures with the same dimensions for height and span in two different span lengths (16.0 m and 32.0 m), and the second one is related to comparing the performance of the considered metaheuristics in the optimum design of these portal frames. The obtained results reveal that CRF is more economical than PRF in the fair comparison. Moreover, comparing the results acquired by SSOA with those of other considered metaheuristics reveals that SSOA has better performance for the optimal design of these portal frames.
Advanced Care or Advanced Life Support – What are we Providing?

The field of paramedicine has undergone significant change and modernisation over the past 50 years. Presently there are no consistent terms or lexicon used across the profession to describe different levels of advanced practice. This inconsistency risks creating confusion as the professionalisation of paramedic practice continues. As well, many empirical studies support the claim that communication and the importance of managing language actively plays a crucial role in supporting change and in shaping the new paradigm. Therefore, the way one uses communication, and the deliberate choice of words to describe advance practice, will support change in the desired direction.

This article explores these terms and their attendant influences on perceptions of practice to argue for change towards the standardised use of the term ‘advanced care paramedic’ across the Anglo-American paramedic system.

The level of biochemical composition of sweet cherry fruits of different ripening periods was investigated. It has been established that the content of chemical elements in sweet cherry fruits depends on a number of factors. Fruits ripening period is listed frstaming the features of the pomological variety. Weather conditions during the formation and ripening of sweet cherry fruits have a signifcant effect on the content of chemicals. The variety Melitopolskaya krapchastaya was revealed to have a high content of dry soluble substances among all the studied varieties. In the group of late-ripening varieties, the smallest difference in the amount of acidifed acids in fruits between varieties is observed. The high content of organic acids was recorded for the Donetsk Ember variety, and the lowest one for the Turquoise variety. On average, for the varieties of different ripening periods, the highest content of organic acids was noted for early ripening varieties, and the lowest one for late ripening varieties. Having considered all the studied varieties as a whole, it can be asserted that the content of titratable acids was the highest in the fruits of the mid-ripening variety Alenushka, in relation to all other varieties; the lowest amount of organic acids was recorded for the late-ripening varieties Amazonka. The sugar content in the fruits of late-ripening sweet cherry varieties exceeded the average values of the groups of early-ripening and mid-ripening varieties. The mid-ripening variety Mirage was characterized by a high content of vitamin C, and the lowest value of this component of the chemical composition was obtained for the early-ripening variety Mlievskaya yellow. Taste qualities and biochemical composition of fruit and berry crops largely depend on the characteristics of the variety and climatic conditions of cultivation.The early ripening varieties Dar Mliyeva and Zoryana received the maximum tasting assessment. In the group of mid-ripening varieties, the Melitopolskaya krapchastaya variety was highly appreciated, and among the late-ripening varieties, the Turyuza variety.
Key words: cherry varieties, dry soluble substances, sugars, organic acids, vitamin C, sugar-acid coefcient.
COVID-19: Can Metformin Drastically Reduce the Number of Deaths?
Authors: Lorenzo Bracco
Published: July 2021

To address the current pandemic due to Sars-Cov-2, there are various strategies concerning social behaviors such as social distancing and lockdowns, vaccines, and targeted antivirals. Our further proposal is to identify an already existing drug that is safe and has therapeutic characteristics that are useful in terms of Covid-19. This drug is Metformin, the most widely used anti diabetic drug that has already been proven effective in areas other than that for which it was created and has demonstrated proven safety over many years of administration to a population of hundreds of millions of people. We review the medical literature attesting to the important characteristics of metformin as a drug against obesity, cancer, aging, and cognitive deterioration. The proposal to use metformin as an anti-Covid-19 drug, which would reduce morbidity, mortality, and organ damage, is based on its recognized ability to modulate and normalize the production of inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin 6, the overproduction of which, produced by the intra-abdominal fat in obese or overweight patients, is the cause of very serious outcomes in Covid-19 patients. To validate the above statement, we report a retrospective analysis carried out in Wuhan on patients hospitalized for Covid-19 from January 27, 2020 to March 24, 2020, in which diabetic patients treated with metformin and diabetic patients without metformin treatment were examined. At the time of admission, there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of sex, age, underlying disease, clinical severity, and oxygen support category. Anti-diabetic treatment with metformin was associated with a significant decrease in mortality, statistically four times less, than in diabetic patients not treated with metformin.

Introduction: The purpose of the present study to determine the presence of Von Willebrand factor (vWF) in the follicular fluid of women undergoing IVF/ICSI and to investigate the association of its concentration with oocyte and embryo quality. Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study based in women undergoing in vitro fertilization treatment. vWF concentrations in follicular fluid samples collected during transvaginal oocyte retrieval were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Elisa). They were also analyzed by the VIDAS® vWF method for confirmation of the results. The latter is an automated quantitative test for the measurement of vWF in human plasma, using the ELFA technique (enzyme-linked fluorescent assay). vWF concentrations were correlated to oocyte and embryo quality. Results: Contrary to previous reports, vWF was determined in follicular fluid. A higher percentage of good quality oocytes were found in the presence of lower vWF follicular fluid levels. Similarly, better quality embryos were derived from oocytes retrieved from follicles with lower vWF follicular fluid levels. Conclusions: Contrary to existing evidence to date, vWF was found in the follicular fluid of women undergoing IVF/ICSI treatment. In addition, the quality of oocytes and embryos was adversely related to vWF follicular fluid levels. In fact, a better outcome of IVF/ICSI treatment was suggested when the levels of vWF in follicular fluid were low. In this context, vWF follicular fluid levels could be used as a prognostic factor for oocyte and embryo quality.

Published: July 2021

The research analyzed the growth dynamics of annual shoots of some species of Lonicera L. in Absheron conditions. According to the seasonal dynamics of growth and development of species, Lonicera species are divided into 2 groups: straight and ivy species. The model species include deciduous, semi-evergreen and evergreen species, but these features of their life forms do not affect the growth process. Studies have shown that in the genus Lonicera L., regular growth was observed during the growing season, while in the straight species the growth was completed in July. The observed increase in hydrothermal stress had a positive effect on the growth and branching of the shoots, and an increase was observed. This growth parameter is dominated by ivy Lonicera L. (L. caprifolium and L. etrusca). Intensive growth was observed in Absheron in May-June and September.
