A visão enciclopédica dos frames semânticos
Authors: Chishman Rove
Published: October 2019

Este trabalho tem como objetivo discorrer sobre a natureza enciclopédica dos frames semânticos e o seu papel na prática lexicográfica. Em termos teóricos, procuramos compreender a visão de Charles Fillmore (1982, 1992) com a proposição da Semântica de Frames, assim como buscar na Linguística Cognitiva os seus princípios. Em termos aplicados, focalizamos na interface da Semântica de Frames com a Lexicografia e apresentamos, na sequência, dois estudos de caso, ambos destacando a visão enciclopédica dos frames e a sua pertinência para a prática lexicográfica. Destacamos, por fim, tratar-se da ocupação de um nicho específico de pesquisa, à medida que nos voltamos apenas para os frames semânticos. Ressalta-se que outros tópicos da Semântica Cognitiva também têm a sua relevância para a Lexicografia.
SOCIO-CULTURAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL-LEGAL DIMENSIONS OF THE GENDER IDENTITY PROBLEM
Authors: Blikhar V. S. , Zharovska I. M. , Lychenko I. O.
Published: October 2019

Purpose. Based on the comparative analysis of the European and post-Soviet countries, the purpose of the article is to study one of the manifestations of gender discrimination, namely the problem of gender equality in the sphere of labor. It involves the consistent solution to the following tasks: a) to emphasize the basic principles of gender international and legal policy; b) to reflect the praxeological dimension of providing the equal social and economic opportunities for men and women at current level; c) to emphasize the key criterion for ensuring the equality in socio-cultural sphere – equality in political life; d) to study the educational level of women and the possibility of self-realization in employment equal to men. Theoretical basis. The authors proceed from the standpoint that gender equality at the present stage has become a priority of legal policy and an important principle of the state (legal and democratic) of pro-European orientation. It is characterized in the legal plane, first of all, by the equality of the social roles of men and women, and the overcoming of the gender hierarchy of social ties, in which men are perceived as higher beings by their mental and physical abilities, and their activities are more significant and of priority in comparison with the activities of women. Originality. The authors have substantiated that in many economically developed countries the problem of providing a gender is still relevant, but most of the crisis problems in this area have found their legal regulation. The motivated position of the authors is that the level of education and professionalism of women cannot serve a reason for discrimination against women, which now exists in the economic and political sphere in the post-Soviet space. Conclusions. Gender stereotypes remain the priority in woman’s keeping family household, which creates significant inequalities of women and men at the labor market. Specialized regulatory acts in the field of gender declare the equality of men and women, while labor law defines a number of norms and guarantees that complicate the employment of women. In order to improve the situation we propose to implement a number of measures, such as, creation and financial support of the programs at the state level for supporting maternity, family and childhood; examination of all normative acts and concerning the issue of gender asymmetry, and especially the norms of labor law; introduction of state monitoring of employment and income of persons as to the complying with the principle of gender equality; introduction of quotas for women’s participation in political activities, in the work of the government and parliament, etc.
DIONYSUS CULT AS A PROTOTYPE OF AUTONOMOUS GENDER
Authors: Poliakova O. O. , Asotskyi V. V.
Published: October 2019

Purpose. The research is based on the analysis of the cult of Dionysus: the introspection of the irrational content of the "Dionysian states", in the symbolism of which an alternative scenario of gender relations is codified, based on autonomy and non-destructive interdependence. The achievement of this goal involves, firstly, the "archeology" of telestic madness and orgasm as the liberating states the comprehension of their semantic potential for the outlook of the Dionysian neophyte, and secondly, to identify the features that are likened to the cult community of Dionysus to an autonomous gender and, thirdly, to characterize the metamorphosis of the Dionysian imagery in the postmodern consciousness. Theoretical basis. The study of the symbolism of Dionysus and its Genesis in the processes of the mass consciousness is important to clarify trends in gender distancing as in antiquity and in the modern era. Specific sensory and mental qualities encoded in the images of Dionysian madness, vakhtnag of violence and the eternal alien, the awareness of which is determined by the Dionysian thematizes in the cultural consciousness of post-modernism, the research literature presented in fragments. The phenomenological dimension "exempt States" Dionysian elements, activated the process of social distancing up to the formation of Autonomous gender, are poorly known and basically are reduced to manifestations of marginality and asocial. However, the specifics of the cult of Dionysus, the authors see the origins of ideas about a purely female and male and the dynamics of the transmutations of his imagery is proposed to understand how the successive stages of their formation, not the symptoms of the cultural crisis and deviant behavior. Originality. The article examines the phenomenology of the practice of personality transformation as the psycho-psychological basis of ideas about gender identity. Conclusions. The article highlights the socio-cultural and intrapsychic dimension of the study of the cult of Dionysus. It was established that the perception of a cult alien to ancient consciousness occurred during the crisis of the transition from matriarchy to patriarchy, since its meaning associated with the idea of liberation through personality transformation corresponded to the mental state generated by social isolation of women and had a therapeutic effect.
PHILOSOPHICAL REPRESENTATION OF FEMALE ARTISTIC IMAGES IN OBJECTIVISM
Authors: Muntian A. O.
Published: October 2019

Purpose. Based on actualization of gender discursive features, the current piece aims to clarify and accentuate the manifestation of gender-philosophical ideas interaction: feminism in the framework of objectivism. The source material for the current article is a novel by Ayn Rand "Atlas Shrugged", which is a philosophical work on objectivism. Theoretical basis. The development of the gender discourse, in particular the discourse of feminism is researched from the retrospective angle. This piece is an attempt to underline peculiarities of female artistic images representation in Rand’s work and the way Rand’s novel influenced the logical development of feminist discourse. Discourse of feminism is a rather peculiar notion for Objectivism, where the notion of gender is, theoretically, annihilated as far as gender is irrelevant for both personal and professional growth, however, practically, gender representation and actualization is ubiquitous in Rand’s philosophy. Originality. The distinctive features of gender discourse in Objectivism are highlighted in this piece; the results are based on the application of comparative analysis. It is argued that philosophy itself may well be perceived through a literary work of fiction, thus making artistic images prototypes of philosophy functionaries. Conclusion. "Atlas Shrugged" is not merely a literary fiction, but rather a philosophical treatise on Objectivism, which is a philosophy of individual struggle and achievement. The main female protagonist of "Atlas Shrugged", Dagny Taggart, is a staunch supporter of Objectivism. In Rand’s opinion Dagny Taggart is a prototype of a true woman of utopian American capitalist society, and it is her artistic image that was misinterpreted by supporters of feminist movement ideas and Dagny Taggart became an icon of feminism, whereas in reality Dagny’s discourse is rather a discourse of femininity, for Dagny despises everything that is connected with feminist ideas and practices, and, it is an error to weave her discourse into a much wider feminist discourse.
ANTHROPOLOGICAL COMPREHENSION OF A WOMAN-AUTHOR AS THE SUBJECT OF CULTURE THROUGH THE PRISM OF LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE (GENDER ASPECT)
Authors: Koliieva I. A. , Kuptsova T. A.
Published: October 2019

Purpose. To study the phenomenon of a woman-author as a subject of culture and philosophy from a development of literary aspect in the works both Western and Ukrainian scientists. To define the significance of the philosophical representation of the gender stereotypes to reconsider their place and role in the socio cultural discourse. Theoretical basis. To investigate the theoretical framework in the postmodern philosophy the cross-disciplinary approach is used. The comparative approach is methodologically important to clarify the problems concerning a woman-author as a subject of culture. It is underlined that the boundary line between literature and philosophy is movable, which coincides with the shapes of the human experience. Based on the conviction that gender has integrated into all social relations, that means it is a gender context of any social interaction, it is important to emphasize the productivity of a new scientific methodology of sociocultural constructing of gender. Originality. Is in systematic literary analysis of Ukrainian and Western women’s prose as specific philosophical phenomenon. It was proved that the investigation of women’s literature, its identity is an important focus of both philosophy and culture, which helps find philosophical problems in literary texts. Besides the analysis of gender implications in texts allows to start theoretical dialogue on gender problems, which means the participation in the discussion about the targets of our cultural life. Conclusions. It has been proved that literature of the ХХth-XXIst centuries is characterized by strengthening interaction between philosophical systems and literary works that reflects mainstreaming of intellectual and thinking bases. It was revealed that women’s philosophical and literary conceptions have created a unique woman’s world of being and an image of "a new woman", thus leading the way towards the new stereotypes based on comprehension that sex differences should not be determining factors both in cultural and social coexistence.

Published: October 2019

Abstract The objective of this research is to investigate family members’ perceptions as to the end-of-life decision-making process in an ICU. The authors conducted a qualitative descriptive study in which they interviewed six family members of critically ill patients admitted to the ICU of a private hospital. Five categories of analysis emerged from the examination of the material. This study will discuss two of those categories: the decision-making process and the relationship with the medical staff. The results indicate that family members were satisfied with communication with the medical staff, an important aspect for the decision-making process. Within this context, the shared model, prioritization of palliative care and identification of futile treatments prevailed, aimed at ensuring the patient’s comfort and dignity at the end of life. The results also reveal the need for integration of palliative care in ICUs, particularly in end-of-life situations.

Abstract We report the first documented case of endocarditis associated with Bartonella clarridgeiae in a dog in Latin America. Infective vegetative valvular aortic endocarditis was diagnosed in a 10-year-old male mixed breed dog. The dog presented grade V/VI systolic and diastolic murmur, hyperthermia, and progressive weight loss. Cardiomegaly and presence of diffuse alveolar pattern in the lung fields were observed in the thorax radiography evaluation. Irregular and hyperechogenic structures adhered to the aortic leaflets, causing obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract and severe aortic insufficiency, were observed in the echocardiography evaluation. A vegetative, whitish, hardened structure measuring 1.0 cm in diameter was observed in aortic semilunar valve at necropsy. Based on a combination of pre-enrichment insect-based medium liquid culture, quantitative real-time and conventional PCR assays based on nuoG and gltA genes, respectively, followed by sequencing and phylogenetic inferences, B. clarridgeiae DNA was detected in the patient’s aortic valve lesions. Clinical, echocardiographic, anatomopathologic and molecular features supported the diagnosis of severe aortic vegetative endocarditis possibly caused by B. clarridgeiae in a dog in Brazil.

Published: October 2019

Abstract Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum are Apicomplexan intracellular protozoan parasites that affect numerous animal species, thus leading to severe diseases and economic losses, depending on the vertebrate species involved. The role of the avian species in maintaining and transmission of these coccidia has been studied for several years as they tend to serve as a potential source of infection for mammals and humans. The present study aimed to assess the serological exposure of Orinoco goose (Neochen jubata) to T. gondii and N. caninum. Between 2010 and 2013, 41 free-ranging Orinoco geese were captured in the Araguaia River, Brazil. The presence and titration of IgY antibodies to both coccidia were assayed via indirect immunofluorescent antibody test (IFAT). While IgY antibodies for N. caninum were present in 5 animals, with titers of 20, the antibodies for T. gondii were found in 35 animals, with titers ranging from 20 to 640. Considering that the Orinoco goose’s meat is consumed by the local population in the studied area, it may represent an important source of T. gondii infection for humans. Due to its migratory behavior, this goose may play a pivotal role in the natural dispersion of both parasites. Furthermore, molecular studies are required for genotyping the isolates of T. gondii that occurs in this avian species.
Die intellektueel as opvoeder
Authors: van Niekerk A
Published: October 2019

Hierdie artikel handel oor die rol van die openbare intellektueel in die opvoeding van die samelewing. Die skrywer toon aan hoe vele skrywers meen dat die idee van die openbare intellektueel sy oorsprong in Antieke Griekeland het, met Protagoras en Sokrates as vermeende voorbeelde. Dit word meer algemeen aanvaar dat openbare intellektuele ŉ moderne verskynsel is. Hulle medieer tussen die publiek en ŉ wêreld van meesal moeilik toeganklike idees. Op die kulturele vlak evalueer hulle die status van die samelewings waartoe hulle behoort, en in die politiek ontwikkel hulle idees wat lei tot politieke aksie. Die skrywer wys veral op die oorgange in intellektuele optrede vanaf moderniteit na postmoderniteit. Hulle verwerp toenemend die outoritêre deklamasie van natuurwette en kulturele vorme, hulle spreek bedenkinge uit oor die houdbaarheid van die kategorie van seker kennis, hulle artikuleer die gefragmenteerdheid van die moderne wêreldbelewing, hulle verwerp toenemend die idee van die selfevidente gegewenheid van verskynsels en vervang dit met die idee van die noodsaak van mediasie via tekens en simbole, en hulle propageer laastens ŉ wêreld waarin Filosofie as die "Vak" wat aan almal verduidelik waarmee hulle "eintlik" besig is, vervang word met die dialoog-soekende en bemiddelende idee van hermeneutiek.
The perceived burden of care among caregivers of survivors of cerebrovascular accident following discharge from a private rehabilitation unit
Authors: Serfontein Lyndall , Visser Marieta , van Schalkwyk Mia , van Rooyen Cornel
Published: October 2019

INTRODUCTION: The transition between inpatient rehabilitation and discharge of survivors of stroke from private rehabilitation services in South Africa is often challenging. After the stroke survivor is discharged, caregivers have an important role as an extension of rehabilitation, although the occupation of caregiving is often unplanned. This study investigated the factors associated with the burden of care experienced by patients' caregivers. METHODS: A quantitative descriptive study was conducted with 63 patients and 63 caregivers, using a consecutive, non-randomised sampling method. Patients' Functional Independence Measure (FIM) scores upon discharge were obtained. Telephonic interviews were conducted with the caregivers two months after the patients' discharge, using the Modified Caregiver Strain Index (MCSI) and a demographic data questionnaire to obtain their perceived burden of care. RESULTS: Patients' median FIM score at discharge was 86, indicating that they needed minimal assistance. After discharge, caregivers experienced minimal to moderate strain (burden of care) according to the MCSI score. The associated factors that were identified included financial, physical, psychological and social aspects, of which financial strain was encountered most regularly. Caregivers also seemed to have unbalanced occupational profiles. CONCLUSIONS: Better caregiver training and support should be provided by private rehabilitation services for better integration of stroke survivors into the community. Key words: Cerebrovascular accident; stroke; caregivers; burden of care; private inpatient rehabilitation

Models of Functional Dependencies of Elements in Sequences for Solving Problems of Control and Management
Authors: Tverdokhlebov V. A.
Published: October 2019

In paper developed version of the basic concepts, models and methods for the formulation and solution of problems of control and diagnosing of processes in systems, tasks of constructing models of processes in which the causal relationships of events are transformed into functional dependencies between elements in sequences, problems of formalizing of process control rules, etc. For this extended classical recurrent definition of the sequences, which presents the functional elements depending on the immediately preceding to them m elements to offered Z-recurrent definition, which defines the functional relationship between sets of elements in the sequence. The orders of Z-recurrent forms have the form of a set of numbers and are convenient for accurate and complete characterization of the connections of events in processes. The tasks of control, diagnosing, constructing new models of processes, assessing the complexity of processes and rules for managing processes can be formulated and solved using numerical indicators of Z-recurrent definitions. A classification of Z-recurrent definitions of sequences and a classification of processes are constructed, an algorithm for checking the feasibility of determining a Z-recurrent form for given sequences of form is developed. The Z-recurrent definition of sequence is complemented by the Z-recurrent sequence pattern method, which includes: introducing a linear order on the base set of sequence elements, constructing an image for the sequence in the form of a sequence of executing or non-executing relationships between the elements represented by a linear order, and applying Z-recurrent definitions to the constructed image of the sequence. The problem on which the solution of the considered problems is based is the recognition of two sequences by properties, which are determined by the indicators of Z-recurrent definitions of sequences, which have the form of orders of Z-recurrent forms. Sets of orders in executing or non-executing Z-recurrent forms characterize the sequences and the analyzed sets of sequences, which allows you to set and solve problems related to system management: problems of control and diagnosing of processes in the system, problems of constructing process models, problems of formalizing and complexity estimation of control rules of processes.

The biological activity of naturally occurring and modified synthetic fused hetarenochromones has been also highlighted.
Kappa statistic for judgment agreement in Sociolinguistics / Estatística Kappa para concordância de julgamento em Sociolinguística
Authors: Freitag Raquel Meister Ko.
Published: October 2019

Abstract: Perception studies have required the development of new techniques, as well as new ways of analyzing data. This paper discusses the proposal of Kappa statistic for the measurement of agreement amongst judgments in perception tests. The analysis deals with data obtained from a subjective reaction test focusing on the variable pronunciation of /t, d/ as stops or affricates in Aracaju, Sergipe, Brazil, considering aesthetic, rhythmic, and dialectal factors. Kappa statistic shows aspects of the inter-rater agreement and reliability that can explain how the linguistic change is driven in the community. This type of analysis also allows to account for, in a perception study, the sex/gender bias observed in production. Results suggest that Kappa-statistics is a tool that can improve the explanatory power of perceptual studies in Sociolinguistics.Keywords: Sociolinguistic perception; statistic tools; inter-rater agreement; /t,d/ palatalization.Resumo: Estudos de percepção têm demandado o desenvolvimento de novas técnicas, assim como novas formas de analisar os dados obtidos. Este texto discute a proposta do teste Kappa para a aferição da força de convergência de julgamentos em testes de percepção. A análise é realizada com dados obtidos em um teste de reação subjetiva quanto à realização variável de /t,d/ em Aracaju, Brasil, considerando fatores estéticos, rítmicos e dialetais. A estatística Kappa mostra aspectos da concordância e da confiabilidade entre os avaliadores que podem ser usados para explicar como a mudança linguística se dá na comunidade. A análise também permite identificar em um estudo da percepção o viés de sexo/gênero observado nos estudos de produção. Os resultados mostram que a estatística Kappa é uma ferramenta que pode ampliar o poder explanatório dos estudos de percepção em Sociolinguística.Palavras-chave: percepção sociolinguística; ferramentas estatísticas; concordância de juízes; palatalização de /t,d/.

Does Being Envied by Coworkers Weaken Supervisor Support for Innovative Work Behavior?
Authors: Erebak Serkan
Published: October 2019

It
can be considered as an important approach to be open to innovations for
organizations that want to adapt to the process with difficult competition
conditions in the rapidly developing world. Two of the most important factors
of social support in the workplace are supervisors and coworkers. This study focuses
on whether the support given by the supervisor has the effect of increasing the
innovative behaviors of the individual and whether the individual’s perception
of being envied by his coworkers on this predicted effect has a moderation
role. For this purpose, a sample from various sectors was examined through an
online questionnaire and by convenience sampling. The obtained data were
analyzed by PROCESS macro and Pearson product-moment correlation. The results
indicate that the perception of envy by coworkers beside supervisor support
affected this process. Organizations can make plans to improve this social
support process in order to increase their workers’ innovative behavior.

Küresel
rekabetin yarattığı baskı ve tüketicilerin giderek artan çevre bilinci
işletmelerin yeşil yönetim felsefesini benimsemeleri konusunda itici güçler
olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Yeşil yönetim anlayışını hayata geçirmenin
başlıca yolu da işletme fonksiyonlarında yeşil uygulamaların
gerçekleştirilmesinden geçer. Bu noktada karşımıza çıkan en önemli fonksiyonel
uygulamalardan biri yeşil insan kaynakları yönetimidir. İşletmede yeşil
anlayışının yerleşmesini sağlayacak ve sürdürecek olan çalışanların, işe
alımdan itibaren tüm insan kaynakları fonksiyonlarında yeşil uygulamalarla
karşılaşmaları, yeşil işletme olma ve yeşil yönetimi gerçekleştirme konusunda
büyük destek sağlayacaktır. Söz konusu anlayıştan hareketle bu çalışmanın
amacı; öncelikle yeşil insan kaynakları yönetiminin ne olduğunu ele alarak
önemini vurgulamak, bu sistem içerisinde yer alan işe alım, performans
yönetimi, eğitim ve geliştirme, ücretlendirme, çalışan ilişkileri ve iş-yaşam
dengesi süreçlerinin nasıl ele alınması gerektiği teorik olarak incelemektir.
Bu sayede işletme yöneticilerini, insan kaynakları süreçlerine bu anlayışı
nasıl adapte edebilecekleri konusunda bilgilendirebilmek ve söz konusu alanda
yeterli çalışma olmadığından oldukça kısıtlı olan Türkçe literatüre katkıda
bulunabilmektir. Yerli yazında yer alan çalışmaların büyük kısmı çevresel
sürdürülebilirlik konusuna ağırlık vermektedir. Bu çalışma ile insan kaynakları
yönetimi fonksiyonlarında yeşil uygulamaların ne şekilde
gerçekleştirilebileceği detaylı olarak ortaya konulmuştur.

PURPOSE. Several anticancer drugs including bleomycin (BLM) and methotrexate (MTX) cause serious lung diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis. Although evidences showing the association of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) with pulmonary fibrosis are increasing, the mechanism underlying anticancer drug-induced EMT has been poorly understood. On the other hand, miR-34a, a non-coding small RNA, has been highlighted as a key factor to regulate EMT in lung. In this study, we elucidated the role of miR-34a in anticancer drug-induced EMT using A549/ABCA3 cells as a novel type II alveolar epithelium model. METHODS. Expression levels of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) mRNA, miR-34a, and p53 were evaluated by real-time PCR and western blot analysis, respectively. RESULTS. BLM and MTX induced EMT-like morphological changes and increase in mRNA expression level of α-SMA, an EMT marker. Also, both drugs increased the expression level of miR-34a. Furthermore, mRNA expression level of α-SMA was enhanced by introduction of miR-34a mimic into A549/ABCA3 cells. To examine the mechanism underlying drug-induced enhancement of miR-34a expression, we focused on p53/miR-34a axis. Both drugs upregulated protein expression of p53, an inducer of miR-34a, as well as phosphorylation of Ser15 in p53. CONCLUSIONS. These findings indicated that p53/miR-34a axis may contribute to anticancer drug-induced EMT in type II alveolar epithelial cells.
Transference of metals in the soil‐food chain system: of Caspian Sea sturgeons
Authors: Chaplygin V. A. , Ershova T. S. , Zaitsev V. F.
Published: October 2019

Aim.Identification of metal transference characteristics in components of the ecosystem of the north‐western part of the Caspian Sea.   

Material and Methods.Sampling was carried out according to generally accepted  methods and the determination of heavy metals was carried out by atomic absorption spectroscopy using an atomic absorption spectrometer with electro‐thermal  atomization MGA‐915 MD.   

Results. In studying the migration of trace elements in the trophic chains of the  Caspian Sea sturgeon species it was found that: (a) chromium, manganese and iron  do not accumulate along the trophic chain researched; (b) accumulation of lead and  cobalt above the trophic level occupied by benthic invertebrates did not occur; (c)  cadmium, nickel and copper were accumulated primarily by benthic organisms,  while cadmium and nickel accumulated in the kidneys of Russian and Persian sturgeons and copper accumulated in the liver of both species (d) bioaccumulation of  zinc occurs sequentially in the links: soil‐water‐benthic invertebrates‐benthophage  fish (in Russian and Persian sturgeons in their kidneys, liver and muscles) and (e)  mercury migrates along the links of the food chain, accumulation coefficients increasing progressively in the system: soil‐Didacna mollusc‐benthophage fish (in  Russian and Persian sturgeons in their kidneys, liver and muscles).   

Conclusion.The accumulation of heavy metals from water amongst aquatic organisms depends on the properties of the metal, its involvement in biochemical processes, species, biological status and the nature of abiotic living conditions.
Research into natural factors of the Trans‐Baikal region influencing air quality of a city located in an intra‐continental intermountain basin: the example of the Tugnui basin
Authors: Shcherbatyuk A. P.
Published: October 2019

Aim. The study of the degree of influence of natural factors in the Trans‐Baikal region on the quality of the air of the city of Petrovsk‐Zabaykalsky, which lies in an  intermountain basin.   

Material and Methods. The geomorphology and climate of the intermountain basins of the Trans‐Baikal regions, as well as their separation by orographic features,  were studied. Missing points were identified which need for further scientific research regarding the influence of natural factors of the Trans‐Baikal region on the  quality of the air.   

Results. Geographical and natural factors in the formation of the qualitative composition of the atmosphere of cities located in intracontinental intermountain basins are presented. Studies were conducted from 2005 to 2015 at three observation  posts (hereinafter – OP) in the city of Petrovsk‐Zabaykalsky (Н1 = 800 m; Н2 = 860  m; Н3 = 895 m). The dynamics of the average values of pollutant content in the air  of  the  city  of  Petrovsk‐Zabaykalsky  for  the  period  2005‐2015  were  considered  (based on field observations from three OPs), as well as the dynamics of the atmospheric pollution index of benzo(a)pyrene in the air in Petrovsk‐Zabaykalsky for the  period 2005‐2015. Geoecological threats were assessed together with the geographical mechanisms responsible for them and the dynamics of atmospheric air  pollution of a characteristic situation (the Tugnui basin and atmospheric air of the  city of Petrovsk‐Zabaykalsky) were studied. The regular occurrence of extremely  dangerous concentrations of pollutants in the atmosphere of cities located in intermountain basins is presented.   

Conclusion. The author’s research into the influence of natural factors (using the  example of the Tugnui basin) on the air quality of a city on the National Priority List  (e.g. the city of Petrovsk‐Zabaykalsky) showed that extremely dangerous concentrations of pollutants, especially substances of the first hazard class, namely benzo(a)pyrene, are created because of geographical factors.

Published: October 2019

Aim.To analyze the results of ichthyological monitoring in order to identify the role  of an invasive fish species, Pseudorasbora parva – known in Russia as the Amur Chebachok – in the ichthyological community of the River Don estuary littoral and delta. 

 Material and Methods.Research work was carried out in the prodelta and estuarine  watercourses of the Don delta in the period 2007‐2017. To catch the fish, we used  bimtral, drag nets, gill nets and other fishing gear. Standard methods were applied to  process ichthyological material. A total of 902 specimens of the Amur chebachok  were examined.   

Results.The general characteristics of the invasive species from watercourses of the  delta and from Taganrog Bay are given. Its role in the formation of ichthyofauna and  its relationship with native species in new habitats has been determined. Dimensionmass indicators and other biological parameters of the species are given. 

 Conclusion.The linear structure of the local population of the Amur chebachok consists of different size groupings corresponding to certain ages. The process of acclimatization of the Amur chebachok in the Don delta is associated with certain interactions with elements of the local biocenosis. It was proved that when there is a high  number, both in pond farms and in natural water bodies, the species is an acute food  competitor to juveniles of both farmed or local fish. Its rapid spread is due to the  high survival rate of offspring, high environmental plasticity, rapid growth, short  puberty and the migratory activity of larvae and fry.

Aim. The aim of the research was to study the features of formation of adaptive  ability, meat productivity and quality indicators of mutton obtained in the arid conditions of the Volga region from sheep of the Edilbaev breed of different genotypes. 

Material and Methods. A package of teaching materials has been developed concerning an increase in the productive qualities of different genotypes of the studied  breed in the conditions of arid regions of southern Russia.   

Results. The authors’ research has demonstrated the high adaptive abilities of animals of the Edilbaev breed, their economic and biological qualities, food and taste  indicators of their meat, as well as the possibility of further development of the  breed in the arid conditions of southern Russia. As a research base, we selected the  Volgograd‐Edilbay LLC breeding farm (the world's only breeding and genetic center  for raising Edilbaev sheep) which is located in the Volgograd region and specializes  in breeding pure‐bred animals in arid steppe, semi‐desert and desert zones. Due to  the great demand for the livestock of this breed from farms located in arid territories, this study of the comparative aspects of production characteristics of animals  of original and new types in the arid conditions of the Volga region is of interest to  both science and practical animal husbandry.   

Conclusion. An assessment of the nutritional value of mutton obtained from animals of the Edilbaev breed has shown its high nutritional and biological qualities.
