Serum IgE levels and severity of atopic dermatitis
Authors: Basnet Binamra , Neupane Saraswoti , Shrestha Shristi
Published: May 2019

INTRODUCTION: Atopic dermatitis is an itchy, chronic relapsing, inflammatory skin condition with typical flexural distribution. The eruption is frequently associated with other atopic conditions in the individual or other family members . It is associated with increased production of serum IgE levels. The objective of this study is to evaluate whether serum IgE levels correlate with the severity of atopic dermatitis (AD) based on Three Item Severity (TIS) Score of AD.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a hospital based observational study carried out from June 2014 to January 2015. Eighty two atopic dermatitis patients aged ≤ 20 years were recruited from the OPD of Dermatology Department of Gandaki Medical College, and the AD severity was evaluated using TIS score (Three Item Severity score). Concentrations of serum total IgE were measured and compared with controls.

RESULTS: The mean age of our study group comprising of 82 patients was 9.03±5.6 years. The overall TIS score was 5.74±2.02.To find out the correlation between the disease severity and IgE level, one way ANOVA test was used. There was no statistical difference between the IgE levels of controls and the patients with mild disease but there was a significant correlation between severity of disease (between mild, moderate and severe AD) and the levels of serum IgE. (P<0.05)

CONCLUSION: Serum IgE is an useful indicator for predicting severity of atopic dermatitis in young patients.
Factors associated with induced abortion among women attending Marie Stopes Clinics in Kathmandu Valley
Authors: Thapa Nilu , Maharjan Sajana
Published: May 2019

INTRODUCTION: Though abortion has been legalized in Nepal from September 2002 but it is still a highly stigmatized issue with lots of prevailing misconceptions in the community. In this scenario also each year one lakh abortion are done in Nepal and the number of women seeking abortion services is in increasing trend. Therefore, it is very important to know the reasons behind seeking abortion services by Nepalese women. The overall objective of this study was to assess the factors associated with induced abortion among women attending at Marie Stopes Clinics of Kathmandu Valley.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out over a period of two weeks in the Marie Stopes's clinics of Gongabu and Kupondole sites of Kathmandu among 85 purposively selected women. Face-to-face interview was done by using the semi-structured questionnaire. The collected data was analyzed by using simple descriptive statistics like percentage, frequency, mean and standard deviations and presented in the forms of tables and narratives.

RESULTS: The mean age of the respondents with standard deviation was 25.5±5.571 years. Around 88 % of the respondents were literate. Majority (91.8%) were married. Around 75 % of the respondents cited, having enough children and wanting no more child now as the main reason behind having abortion. The decision of undergoing abortion was taken by both partners in 89.4% of the respondents. Exactly 62.4% of the respondents were not aware about the possible effects of abortion. Almost 32% of the respondents had the history of previous abortion. Almost 90 % of the respondents had desired to use contraceptive after abortion. Condoms, pills and Depo-Provera were preferred by 41.3%, 22.7% and 13.3% of the respondents for use after undergoing abortion respectively.

CONCLUSION: It can be concluded from the study that the major reasons behind undergoing abortion were to limit the number of children and desire to postpone the children. About one-third of women have the history of previous abortion and similar proportion has done abortion two to three times. Therefore, this study suggests that long acting FP methods and sterilization services should be made accessible to women so that they could prevent unwanted pregnancy. Also there is need of strengthening counseling services for contraceptive use to women coming for abortion repeatedly.

BACKGROUND: Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease is a growing problem with a reportedly increasing prevalence in type 2 diabetes patients. Despite this, study on the prevalence of Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease in Nepalese patients with type 2 diabetes is not available. The objective of this study is to determine the incidence of Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease in Nepalese patients with type 2 diabetes.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: This cross-sectional study was carried out for a period of three months in patients with type 2 diabetes. A structured questionnaire “Frequency Scale for the Symptoms of GERD (FSSG)” was used for the evaluation of Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease in a total of Ninety Six (96) patients.

RESULTS: The incidence of Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease was observed in 22% of the patients with type 2 diabetes. The mean FSSG score in patients with Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease was 15.2 ± 9.3.

CONCLUSION: Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease is a common phenomenon in type 2 diabetes. Effective treatment along with proper glycemic control is essential so as to promote the Quality of Life of individuals.

Eosinophilia is seen in several of the clinical condition and it affects different system of human body. Eosinophils can infiltrate in heart and causes range of cardiac abnormalities. Heart involvement usually occurs when eosinophil count exceeds 1.5×109/L for at least 6 months. Eosinophilic myocarditis is a rare condition. Few cases have been reported and most of them are from western community. The disease is potentially fatal and mortality is high if not recognized on time. Studies have shown various responses to treatment with corticosteroid and other standard heart failure measures.

 We present a 35 year male that came with complains of shortness of breath and fatigability. He was diagnosed as esoniphilic myocarditis and treated with corticosteroid and other heart failure measures. The patient showed excellent response to therapy. He became entirely asymptomatic and his cardiac function (ejection fraction) became normal during follow up at 60 days.
Free radicals and vitamin antioxidants in health and lung diseases
Authors: Gautam Narayan
Published: May 2019

Several lung diseases have undergone oxidative stress due to free radical insult. Consequently, antioxidant vitamin C and vitamin E play important role in defense against cellular injury by scavenging free radicals. This article reviews the potential mechanism of free radicals generation and vitamin antioxidant defense to link amongst various lung diseases. One of the manifestations of free radical mediated process is lipid peroxidation subsequently producing malondialdehyde (MDA) in these patients. Supplementation of vitamin C and vitamin E as an adjuvant therapy as well as high intake of fresh fruits and vegetables appear to have a beneficial effect on lung health. Moreover, their consumption should be recommended on a daily basis. Further studies are needed to assess the impact of antioxidants as an adjuvant therapy in patients with lung diseases.

Farm Partnership between Farmers and the Company in Production and Marketing of Vegetables Commodity
Authors: Puspitaningrum Devy Anggita , Gayatri Siwi
Published: May 2019

Farm partnership model between farmers and industries is expected to give advantages in many aspects such as economic, technical, and social. The research aims to analyze the farm partnership model between vegetable farmers and PT. Bumi Sari Lestari company. Primary data were collected using an interview. Secondary data were gotten by documentation. The data were analyzed by the analytical technique. The result shows that the type of partnership between farmers and the company is Inti-Plasma model based on Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) containing the clause if farmers were not able to provide sufficient vegetable, the company would buy directly from the market. The vegetables bought by industry would be cultivated by the farmer and controlled by industry. There are many issues that have to be solved by the farmers and the company. First, farmers will choose a traditional ceremony instead of harvesting the plants. Hence, the vegetables will get rotten. Farmers will prefer to sell their vegetables to the market instead of bringing it to the company when the price gets high in the normal market. Vegetables will get rotten easily during the transportation process to the company. The last is the company needs to make an agreement with the farmers to decide optimal production based on the farm size in order to avoid over production.JEL Classification: D19, J54, Q12

Aquisição da linguagem e composicionalidade aspectual
Authors: De Castro Gisely Gonçalves , Hermont Arabie Bezri
Published: May 2019

Este artigo examina a relação entre o aspecto gramatical e o aspecto semântico no processo de aquisição da linguagem a partir da proposta da composicionalidade aspectual de Verkuyl (2005). A hipótese formulada para explicar o padrão de correlação averiguado foi a de que ele resulta de uma interpretação composicional do aspecto. Os resultados alcançados foram os seguintes: (i) os verbos [-ADDTO] tiveram marcação imperfectiva; (ii) os verbos [+ADDTO] tiveram marcação perfectiva; (iii) os SVs [+ADDTO, -SQA] tenderam à marcação imperfectiva; e (iv) os SVs [+ADDTO, +SQA] tiveram marcação perfectiva. Os padrões encontrados nos dados indicam uma interpretação composicional do aspecto.  ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.31513/linguistica.2018.v14n3a19778

Aquisição da linguagem e variação linguística em diálogo: investigando a produção e a compreensão da flexão verbal de terceira pessoa do plural no PB
Authors: Molina Daniele , Marcilese Mercedes , Name Cristina
Published: May 2019

Neste artigo, investigamos a produção e a compreensão da flexão verbal de terceira pessoa do plural por crianças adquirindo o português brasileiro (PB), levando em consideração que a informação morfofonológica de número apresenta-se variável na língua. Dados longitudinais de produção espontânea apontam para a alternância entre marcação redundante e não redundante no verbo e para a influência de fatores extralinguísticos, como classe socioeconômica e procedência geográfica. Dados experimentais obtidos em tarefa de compreensão sugerem o mapeamento da informação gramatical de plural ao conceito de pluralidade e o desenvolvimento no desempenho das crianças em função das faixas etárias testadas. ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.31513/linguistica.2018.v14n3a21334
Aquisição de estruturas possessivas: posse inalienável e quantificadores no português brasileiro
Authors: Mendes Fernanda
Published: May 2019

Aprofundou-se a análise sintático-semântica de estruturas possessivas inalienáveis apresentada em Mendes (2015), observando, em dados de aquisição do português brasileiro, o seu comportamento em estruturas quantificadas por todo(a), todos(as) os(as) e cada, já que parece haver uma distribuição complementar entre as interpretações disponíveis relativas à combinação entre os quantificadores que encabeçam o sintagma possuidor e os elementos que acompanham o sintagma possuído. De acordo com Lopes (2014) e Algave (2009), estruturas possessivas inalienáveis quantificadas apresentariam, na presença do determinante definido, uma preferência pela interpretação distributiva atrelada a uma leitura inalienável e, na presença do pronome possessivo, uma interpretação variante. ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.31513/linguistica.2018.v14n3a21402
O desenvolvimento silábico do português por crianças gêmeas: o sistema fonológico como um sistema complexo
Authors: Baia Maria de Fátima De Almeida , Mattos Vanessa Cordeiro de Souza , Aguiar Jéssica Caroline Sousa
Published: May 2019

Neste estudo, investigamos o desenvolvimento da estrutura silábica de duas crianças gêmeas dizigóticas na idade de 1 a 2 anos de idade. Após análise dos dados, notamos variabilidade entre as produções silábicas das duas crianças. Todavia, como a nossa análise mostra, as diferenças encontradas no percurso de desenvolvimento silábico foram aparentes. Dessa maneira, ao contrário da literatura sobre desenvolvimento fonológico de gêmeos (DODD e McEVOY, 1994; MAGFORD-BEVAN, 2000; SMITH, 2011) nossos resultados não sustentam a afirmação de que a fala de gêmeos apresentaria “atraso fonológico”. De acordo com a perspectiva da Complexidade, interpretamos a variabilidade encontrada nos dados das duas crianças como esperada e característica do desenvolvimento linguístico, o que tem sido reportado por estudos de desenvolvimento de gêmeos (CHAN; LOWIE; De BOT, 2014) e não-gêmeos (SZREDER, 2012; BAIA, 2013). ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.31513/linguistica.2018.v14n3a21415

Authors: Faria Pablo Picasso Feliciano de , Ohashi Giulia Osaka
Published: May 2019

Neste artigo, tratamos do problema da aprendizagem de categorias de palavras durante o processo de aquisição. Nossa abordagem é computacional: construímos um modelo baseado em Redington et al. (1998) para investigar a informatividade da informação distribucional para a categorização de palavras. Os dados fornecidos ao aprendiz vêm de dois corpora de fala dirigida à criança em português brasileiro. Especifi camente, os experimentos apresentados aqui avaliam a informatividade de várias janelas contextuais relativas a uma dada palavra-alvo, isto é, quais contextos são mais ou menos informativos sobre a categoria de uma palavra. Nossos resultados mostram que contextos locais são altamente informativos e que a informação distribucional é útil como fonte de informação categorial. ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.31513/linguistica.2018.v14n3a21419
A aquisição da morfologia verbal no PB e a categoria de aspecto
Authors: Araujo Thais Da Silveira Neves
Published: May 2019

O objetivo do estudo é investigar os valores aspectuais e temporais relacionados aos morfemas flexionais usados em etapas iniciais de aquisição do português brasileiro (PB) como L1. Pretende-se, assim, contribuir para os estudos sobre a arquitetura da Faculdade da Linguagem, especificamente, sobre as relações de dominância entre Tempo e Aspecto. Para isso, a hipótese considerada foi a Hipótese da Primazia do Aspecto, segundo a qual, ao utilizar determinado morfema flexional nas etapas iniciais de aquisição, a criança veicula traços do aspecto semântico. A fim de acompanhar o processo de aquisição, foi utilizado no presente estudo um corpus de natureza longitudinal. ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.31513/linguistica.2018.v14n3a22620
"Look up!" Using easy words to explain how we learn hard words and other aspects of language, an interview with Lila Gleitman
Authors: Gomes Victor , Carvalho Alex De
Published: May 2019

Lila Gleitman is undoubtedly one of the world’s foremost experts on language acquisition and developmental psycholinguistics. Starting in the 60s, she rose to prominence by bringing experimental methods from psychology to bear on the questions raised by linguistics and philosophers of language, namely how children could learn the rules of a language when there is so much ambiguity both in the language and in the world surrounding them. She has done much work in this vein, focusing both on how children learn words that refer to abstract concepts such as think or believe, as well as how they acquire concepts when they lack certain inputs, such as in the case of blind or deaf children. Though her contributions and collaborations span many questions and problems in language acquisition, she is perhaps best known for proposing and showing that, from an early age, children are capable of using syntactic cues to learn the meaning of words, particularly verbs (especially those she describes as “hard words” because they are difficult or impossible to observe, like think). Through this process, termed syntactic bootstrapping, young children would be able rely on the linguistic context in which the words appear to discover aspects of the meanings of words that they don’t know yet (e.g., Landau & Gleitman, 1985; Gleitman, 1990; Gleitman, Cassidy, Nappa, Papafragou, & Trueswell, 2005). More specifically, Lila and her collaborators proposed that syntax could serve as a “zoom lens” allowing language learners to figure out which part of the world is being talked about, which would then help them identify candidate meanings for novel words (e.g., Fisher, Hall, Rakowitz, & Gleitman, 1994). ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.31513/linguistica.2018.v14n3a22643

Comparação entre o peso da iconicidade na leitura orofacial por surdos e ouvintes durante a fase de pré-alfabetização
Authors: Silvano Emily , Mendonça Kate Bárbara , França Aniela Improta
Published: May 2019

Este artigo se propõe a discutir o tema da iconicidade-arbitrariedade linguística (Saussure, 1916) no contexto de pré-alfabetização. Antes da instrução explícita, a criança pode se perguntar como decodificar a relação fala-escrita e uma das hipóteses por vezes nutrida é de cunho icônico: há pareamento entre o tamanho da palavra escrita e da coisa que ela representa (PIAGET, 1962). No âmbito arbitrário, há trabalhos que demonstram que crianças a partir de 3 a 9 meses de idade, fase pré-fala, já são capazes de compreender muitas palavras e até pseudopalavras geradas em ambiente de teste e, portanto, não icônicas (LIMA, 2009; WAXMAN & LIDZ, 2006; WAXMAN ET AL, 2009; SHI, 2014). Contudo, para indivíduos surdos, alvo de nosso interesse, que usam língua de sinais como L1, reconhecidamente mais icônica, quais estratégias default de pareamento são usadas antes da instrução formal? Essa é a pergunta que o presente estudo busca responder. Um teste experimental foi elaborado a fim de verificar a preferência de crianças surdas e ouvintes na escolha de palavras e pseudopalavras escritas na representação da mesma articulada, por meio de um vídeo, observando, assim, se fatores icônicos pesam mais significativamente no pareamento letra/som do que fatores arbitrários. ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.31513/linguistica.2018.v14n3a25508
Preste atenção às Funções Executivas na pesquisa em aquisição de linguagem: o engajamento de participantes infantis depende delas
Authors: Pinto Mayara De Sá , França Aniela Improta
Published: May 2019

Nesse squib apresentamos um breve resumo sobre as Funções Executivas (FEs), um grupo de habilidades mentais que nos permitem identificar problemas, estabelecer metas e planos de ação em direção às soluções, e enfocamos no desenvolvimento delas nas crianças. Problematizamos os experimentos linguísticos que, por não apresentarem nenhum propósito ou bem-estar imediato pelo ponto de vista da criança-participante, certamente se tornam um obstáculo para mentes cujas FEs ainda não se desenvolveram. Como uma alternativa para mitigar esses problemas, propusemos que os experimentadores devam  considerar a qualidade e a validade ecológica dos experimentos, evitando assim grandes perdas de dados através da ludicidade e da repetição de tarefas especialmente nos experimentos on-line. Para ilustrar, relatamos alternativas de experimentos que envolvem tarefas role-playing, e que tiveram sucesso em FEs dos participantes, resultando em mínima perda de dados. ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.31513/linguistica.2018.v14n3a25509

Maká - Pa’ ɫawjayax naats’ajkinak - La chicha de maíz fermentado
Authors: Tacconi Temis Lucía , Taqalakui Pablo
Published: May 2019

En la narrativa que presentamos se cuenta cómo surgió la chicha de maíz fermentado (ɫawjayax naats’ajkinak), bebida alcohólica consumida por los maká. Los personajes centrales son la joven (inanyi’) y el hombre-árbol que mediante su casamiento hacen posible la aparición del maíz y, consecuentemente, la preparación de la chicha. Se trata de un relato mítico transcurrido en un pasado remoto, por lo cual se encuentran algunos elementos gramaticales recurrentes como los demostrativos que señalan algo ausente y no visto por el hablante y el uso de adverbios que marcan un tiempo remoto. La lengua maká pertenece a la familia mataguaya al igual que el chorote, el wichí y el nivaclé.

The archaeomagnetic studies carried out at the Schmidt Institute of Physics of the Earth of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IPE RAS) provided an important contribution to the international studies of the main magnetic field of the Earth for the past few thousand years. Extensive data on the intensity of geomagnetic field in the past 8000 years were obtained. Four most representative and long time series of the data have been constructed for Eurasia for the Iberian Peninsula, the Caucasus, Central Asia, and Siberia. Unique studies having no analogues in international research have been carried out into rapid variations in the geomagnetic field intensity with characteristic times starting from several tens of years. Based on the analysis of the international data on the ancient geomagnetic field, the spectrum of the variations in the geomagnetic field intensity with the periods ranging from decades to millennia was established and the characteristics ofthe variations whose superposition can describe the pattern of the changes of the geomagnetic field intensity were determined. It was found out that variations with different characteristic times have a differently directed drift, and the “main oscillation” with a characteristic time of 8000 years has an eastern drift.

Alternating intervals of normal and reversed polarity are revealed in the sections of two Permian–Triassic trap intrusions of the Ergalakhsky complex, Norilsk region. The near-contact zones of the intrusions are magnetized reversely, whereas magnetization in the central zones has normal polarity. The arguments are presented that this change in the polarity along the intrusions section is not due to the postmagmatic remagnetization or self-reversal of remanence but marks the reversal of the geomagnetic field that occurred during the emplacement of the intrusive bodies. Highly accurate age determination for the Ergalakhsky intrusions – the oldest intrusive trap complex in the Norilsk region – is vital for time correlation of the initial stage of magmatic activity. According to the paleomagnetic data, the studied sills intruded directly at the Permian–Triassic boundary at the very end of the Ivakinsky stage. The existing estimates for the durations of the reversals indicate that the cooling of the intrusions could last a few thousand years. In the future, the examined sills of the Ergalakhsky complex can be used as a unique object for exploring the structure of the geomagnetic field during the reversals, for reconstructing the thermal history of intrusions’ cooling, and as a reference for estimating the total duration of trap magmatism.

Published: May 2019

The duplicate samples of the Amazon River suspended matter (SM) collected during Cruise 9th of R/V Professor Shtokman were studied using modern analytical techniques. Waters of the Amazon basin are subdivided into three main types differing in SM content and chemical composition: white (turbid yellow waters of the Amazon River and Madeira tributary), clear (transparent waters of the large Xingu, Tapajós, Trombetas, and Tocantins tributaries) and black (waters with strong coffer color, high content of dissolved organics, and elevated acidity, Riu Negro). The specific features of SM from different parts of the river basin have been established. The contents and relationships of major and trace elements in SM vary within wide ranges, but in general the bulk composition of SM is close to the average composition of river SM and clay rocks, except for some samples from clear waters. The SM of the white and clear waters (blackwater samples unfortunately have not been preserved) are variably enriched in Hg. Literature data indicate that artisanal gold mining with the use of Hg (amalgamation method) has been carried out for many years in the Amazon Basin, i.e., SM enrichment in Hg is related to the anthropogenic factor. At the same time, significant (up to two orders of magnitude) enrichment of SM of the clear water Xingu and Tokantins rivers, the Amazon tributaries, in Sn, Zn, Pb, and to lesser extent, in Cu, Cd, Ag, and some other metals give grounds to suggest ore mineralization in these regions.
From Kenorland to modern continents: tectonics and metallogeny
Authors: Yakubchuk A. S.
Published: May 2019

There are three stages in tectonic evolution of the Earth: (1) nucleation — from origin of protocratons to their assembly into Supercontinent Kenorland (2.7–2.5 Ga); (2) cratonization — from breakup of Kenorland (2.45 Ga) to the assembly of Columbia (1.85 Ga) and its reorganization into Rodinia (1.0–0.72 Ga); (3) modern plate tectonics — from breakup of Rodinia at 720 Ma until present. Analysis of time-space reorganizations of Archean granulite-gneiss terranes, which correspond to continental lithospheric keels, reveals five groups of protocratons (Nena, Ur, Congo-Sahara, NAsia and Atlantica) that remained almost intact during long time intervals.

After the breakup of Kenorland, the continental crust rotated counter-clockwise. NAsia and Atlantica the least rotated and drifted relative to Nena, however the latter was rotated by 180°. Congo-Sahara, Ur and Kalahari were the most rotated. The assembly and breakup of the supercontinents clearly correlates with secular changes in dominant types of base, precious and ferrous metal deposits, as well as formation and emplacement of diamonds.

Distribution of noble metals, rare metals and rare earth elements in the Paleocene and Lower-Middle Miocene coals of Zeya-Bureya sedimentary basin was analyzed. Reconstruction of the basin formation in the Mesozoic and Cenozoic was performed with detailed paleogeographic analysis of the Cenozoic coal-bearing sequences from the position of geodynamic features of the adjacent regions development. Geological events at the turn of the Cretaceous and Paleogene are considered. Comprehensive analysis of the metal content in the basin frame carried out.

We described conditions of migration and localization of trace elements. Given conditions arose mainly in the process of geodynamics developed on the northwestern flank of the Zeya-Bureya basin including the static orogens in the Paleocene — Miocene where the sedimentation was actively expanding. Microelements migration with capturing denudation plains occurred in stable processes of peat accumulation and localization of economically important components in streams associated with plains.

Contrasting forms of conjugation in the flexure-uplift system and uneven localization of microelements are determined by high level of geodynamic activity on the south-eastern margin of Zeya-Bureya sedimentary basin. The presence of gold throughout the strata of the Paleocene and Lower-Middle Miocen coal-bearing sediments in the Sergeevskoe, Yerkovetskoe and Raychikhinskoe deposits is established. The Sergeevskoe deposit coals are enriched with Be, Sc, V, Ga, Rb, Nb, Ta, REE + Y.

Deep water circulation in the Hunter Channel (Southwest Atlantic) in a late Pleistocene and Holocene by benthonic foraminifera
Authors: Lukashina N. P.
Published: May 2019

Was reconstructed deep-sea water circulation near the Hunter Channel (Rio Grande Rise – South-West Atlantic) in a late Pleistocene and Holocene (MIS 4-MIS 1) by benthonic foraminifera. Was studied three cores of bottom sediment. Now moves the upper North Atlantic deep water (NADW) through the Hunter Channel from the North to the South. The lower NADW in the same direction came in MIS 2 and in MIS 4. There was the lower Circumpolar deep water (CPDW), NADW and Antarctic bottom water (AnBW) in MIS 3 periodically. CPDW prevail in a near bottom layer and in Holocene and in the late Pleistocene before the Hunter Channel sidewise the Argentine Basin. So in the Hunter Channel and on the way to it from south side for all studied period AnBW was almost not. Dissolution of carbonates during the Holocene happens in the deepest east part of the Hunter Channel. In Ice Ages processes of dissolution amplified and affected east part of the channel. Dissolution happen and happened not at the expense of AnBW, and at the expense of NADW which becomes there aggressive in relation to a calcium carbonate.

For the first time, vertical and lateral distribution patterns of mercury in White Sea bottom sediments have been determined. An abrupt change in the nature of mercury concentrations has been revealed, with a general tendency to decrease with depth. Natural variations in mercury concentrations within 0.01 - 0.03 μg/g dry weight (dw) have been established. An upper value of 0.03 μg/g dw is taken for the natural background content of the element. The distribution of mercury concentrations in the sequence of bottom sediments is influenced by both anthropogenic and natural factors and processes. With distance from the marine -estuary boundary of the Northern Dvina River, the river’s role in supplying mercury to the White Sea is reduced, and global and regional atmospheric mass transfer take over. The mercury content is used as an indicator of landslide processes in Kandalaksha Gulf of the White Sea. The accumulation chronology of mercury in White Sea sediments is studied, and the proportion of anthropogenic mercury is calculated.

Published: May 2019

The concentration of trace elements (Fe, Mn, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Pb, Cd, As) through the planktonic food chain of the White Sea have been studied by the experimental approach. The experiment included zooplankton sampled in a reference area feeding on a seston contained the different trace metals concentrations. Seston sampled in the st. Chupa was enriched by Fe, Cu, Pb, Cr, Co, As, and Ni comparing to the seston from st. Kartesh (reference area). The differences in the concentrations of the suspended particular matter and of the indicator elements of a terrigenous admixture (Al, Ti, Zr) evidence on higher natural background of the trace metals’ content in the seston from st. Chupa due to higher contribution of the minerals. Zooplankton that fed on the seston characterised by higher trace elements’ content has accumulated Fe, Mn, and Cr, at a less degree, Ni, Co, Pb, and Cu; particularly, these were the elements which content were high in seston. Despite Mn content in seston did not differ between two treatments, this element was accumulated by the zooplankton, but had low content in faecal pellets. This tells about the highest Mn assimilation by the zooplankton; this element may become the most bioavailability. When comparing the trace element content between the seston and the faecal pellets, the concentrations of the most elements in faecal pellets are lower comprising as low as Zn – 72%; Mn – 24; Cu – 97; Pb – 62; Cr – 99; Co – 78; Ni – 87; As – 96; Cd – 65% of the concentration in the seston.
Earth’s surface deformation on mount Etna: GPS measurements, interpretation, relationship to the mode of volcanism
Authors: Kafta V. I. , Rodkin M. V.
Published: May 2019

We present results from a study of lateral Earth’s surface deformation and vertical movements in the area of the Mount Etna active volcano (Sicily, Italy) based on observations by global satellite navigation systems in 2011–2017 at time intervals of 24 hours at sparse stations of the regional geodetic network. The study of Mount Etna is especially important because (1) the volcano stands in a densely populated area, (2) the eruptions are nearly continuous, and (3) the location of the volcano is inconsistent with plate tectonic concepts. Subregional trends have been identified in the deformation of the area of study. Extension was recorded, not only around the summit crater, but also far from it, in the Ionian Sea. This circumstance suggests the existence of an extensive plumbing system at depth whose sources are far from the active summit crater. We discuss geological and geophysical survey results of the coastal area and the sea area in the region. It is shown that Earth’s surface deformation should be studied from observations of the existing networks that are sparse, but cover a large area.
Volcanism and geochemistry of soil and vegetation cover of Kamchatka. Communication 2. Specificity of forming the elemental composition of volcanic soil in cold and humid conditions
Authors: Zakharikhina L. V. , Litvinenko Yu. S.
Published: May 2019

Volcanic soils of Kamchatka have the low contents of most the chemical elements in relation to their overall prevalence in the soils of continents and volcanic soils of Europe. Relatively increased gross contents of elements typical for volcanic rocks of medium and basic composition: Na, Ca, Mg, Cd, Mn, Co, Cu, and steadily low contents of elements characteristic of acid volcanics: La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Nb, Hf, Tl, Rb and Th, is most characteristic of the soils of different areas of the peninsula. The existing in the past and currently observed different conditions of volcanism in the previously allocated soil areas of Kamchatka determine the diversity of the chemical composition of the soils in these territories.
