Authors: Khaznadar Amanj , Qadir Pishtiwan
Published: August 2018

Background 

Complications following acute myocardial infarction started to decrease in the past three decades after development of primary percutaneous coronary intervention and thrombolytic therapy, beside many other antiplatelet medications; however complications following acute myocardial infarction still is a major concern in the developing countries.

Objectives 

To detect complications and mortality that follow acute myocardial infarction during hospitalization.

Methods and study design

An observational study, consecutive patients (n=120) with the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction admitted to the Sulaimani coronary care unit from June 2017 to February 2018 were included in this study, the in-hospital mortality and complications were recorded and analyzed.

Results

The mean age of populations in this study was 61.39±10.36 years, there were (70%) males and (30%) females, 35% of patients were smokers, 47.5% of patients had hypertension, 35% of patients had diabetes mellitus, anterior wall infarctions was present in (41.7%) of patients, while inferior wall infarction was present in (34.2%) of patients, (27.5%) of patients received thrombolytic therapy, while (54.2%) of patients received primary percutaneous coronary intervention for revascularization, 3.3% of them died during hospital stay while 53.3% of them discharged from hospital in stable condition after staying one to two days in hospital. Left ventricular dysfunction was found in (20.7%) of patients while (13.3%) develop arrhythmia and (13.3%) develop cardiogenic shock.

Conclusion

In-hospital mortality rate of acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction in this study was 3.3% which is comparable with studies from the western countries and India, this low rate of mortality belongs to high rate of revascularizations (percutaneous coronary intervention and thrombolytic.

Authors: Khaznadar Amanj , Aziz Didar
Published: August 2018

Background 

The pathogenesis and prevalence of ischemic heart disease (IHD) in heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF; EF <50%) is well established, but its prevalence and pathogenesis significance in HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF; EF ≥50%) has been much less explored.

Objectives 

To identify prevalence of IHD in HFpEF and to correlate the effect of clinical data and diagnostic tools in HFpEF

Methods

This cross sectional study was carried out in Sulaimani Cardiac Center and Shar Teaching Hospital from April 2017 to January 2018. 104 patients of heart failure whom showed ejection fraction above 50% when evaluated by echocardiography were further evaluated for ischemic heart disease by CT coronary angiography and/or percutaneous coronary angiography

Results

Among the patients, 34 (32.7%) were males and 70 (63.7%) were females, and their mean age was 65.49±4.9 with the IHD was equal in both genders with P value of 0.5. However, it was more common in overweight and obese patients with P value of 0.07 when comparing with underweight and normal, in our study 81.6% of patients were HTN and 62.6% of patients were diabetic, a strong relationship between past medical disease and CAD with p value of <0.001. Overall, 43.3% had ischemic heart disease. 

Conclusion

Our data suggest that coronary artery disease is more prevalent in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and it depends on other risk factors and risks of ischemic heart disease.

Authors: Saeed Zarean , Faraj Kharman , Hassan Hunar , Wahbi Araz , Shamsaldin Akhtar
Published: August 2018

Background 

The use of radiotherapy linear accelerators in special procedures require strict quality assurance procedures to ensure the level of confidence in the accuracy of dose delivered. The radiation beam needs to be precisely targeted to maximize the dose to the target volume cancer, and minimize the dose to the surrounding healthy tissue.

Objectives 

The aim of this study was to measure the penumbra and output factors of different ionization chambers for small and non-small fields using two photon energies. 

Methods

The penumbra and output factors were measured using PinPoint, Roos, Farmer and Semiflex chambers at a depth of 10 cm and photon beam energies of 6 MV and 10 MV for both small (1×1, 2×2, 3×3) cm2 and non-small fields (4×4, 5×5, 10×10) cm2 defined by conventional multi-leaf collimators. As the same detectors, field sizes, photon energies were used to measure the output factors. The Percentage dose depth of the beam measured for all field sizes and beam energies.

Results

Our results showed that the extension of the Roos chamber was less than the other chambers and the output factors corresponding to non-small field 5×5 cm2 and above had identical values and exhibited similar Percentage dose depth (PDD) curves, while in those corresponding to small field 3×3 cm2 and below exhibited different output factors and PDD curves. 

Conclusion

We conclude that the size of the chamber has a significant effect on the output factor and penumbra and the PinPoint chamber is the most suitable choice of chambers for use as an output detector from those available in Zhianawa cancer center.
Identification of abnormal DNS traffic with Hurst parameter
Authors: GEZER Ali
Published: August 2018

It is a necessity
for effective network management to be aware of the activities taking place on
computer networks. Network managers should always be alarmed about what is
happening now, what might be, or what will be in the future for the sake of
network. To gather information about a computer system or a network, attackers
mostly exploit networking tools to gain some privileges and login systems.
Penetration testers also use these tools to gather information about systems,
but their main concern is to discover the vulnerabilities of the system, and to
find out what kind of measures could be applied to make the system more
resistant to these vulnerabilities. In this study, we propose an abnormal DNS
traffic identification method via utilizing Hurst parameter estimation. To do
so, we employ DNS information gathering tools in Kali Linux to generate
abnormal DNS flows. Then, we estimate its self-similarity degree to compare the
differences between normal DNS traffic flows and abnormal ones. Obtained
results show that abnormal DNS traffic show higher self-similarity degrees.
Another interesting finding is that abnormal DNS traffic shows different
distribution characteristic.

Authors: Saha Anup Kumar , Mondal Kartik Chandra
Published: August 2018

Internal control has a pivotal role in ensuring sustenance of any industry because it plays an important role in preventing and detecting fraud and protecting the organization's resources. This study has found many factors that are relevant for internal control practices in readymade garments (RMG) sector. These vary from maintenance of employees’ job description to bonding employees with special access. In many variables these companies are practicing acceptable level of internal control, while in some they are not doing so good and have ample scope to improve that level. RMG sector is mainly populated with sole proprietorship firms and they do not allocate much resource to such practice. Even then the concern for internal control has to be implemented to ensure long lasting role in the economy.

Authors: Djoeworo Woro Riyadina , Tasono Hadi Dian Perwitasari , Darjoko Sulistyowati Tuminah
Published: August 2018

BackgroundInjuries due to traffic accidents are the leading cause of death and disability, especially in developing countries. The proportion of injuries in Indonesia tends to increase. The cause of the injury is dominated by motorcycle accidents (70-85%). The aim of this study was to compare the severity of motorcycle injuries with that of other land transportation injuries in Indonesia. MethodsA study of a cross-sectional design was performed involving 15,849 subjects from 33 provinces in Indonesia. The dependent variable was the severity of injury and the main independent variable was transportation mode (motorcycle and other vehicles). Other independent variables included were respondent characteristics (sex, age, education, occupation, economic status) and health status (stroke, hypertension, heart disease, impaired hearing and vision). Chi-square test and multiple logistic regression were used to analyze the data.ResultsThe contribution of motorcycle transportation mode to the severity of the injury was 85.5%. The proportion of severity of injury due to motorcycle transportation was higher (9.0%) than to other land transportation modes (7.5%). The severity of injuries related to motorcycle transportation was 1.1 times greater (AOR=1.1 95% CI 1.0-1.3) than that other related to vehicles. The determinants of severity of injury due to motorcycle transportation were age and sex.Conclusion Motorcyclists are at higher risk of having injuries than persons using other modes of transportation. Motorcyclists need to increase the safety of riding and to be more discriminating in the selection of the safest mode of transportation, by taking age and sex into consideration.

Study of perinatal outcome of foetuses with nuchal cord
Authors: Inamdar Misbah M. , Patil Asmita N.
Published: August 2018

Background: Entanglement of the umbilical cord around the foetal neck (nuchal cord) is a common finding at delivery, but its clinical relevance is not entirely clear. Nuchal cords have generally been considered to be rather benign. However, the insufficiency in data regarding the role of nuchal cord in foetal morbidity and mortality is a source of anxiety and frustration to both parturient and healthcare professionals. Considering the above facts the present study was taken up to establish the incidence of nuchal cord at delivery in the existing setup.Methods: This was a cross sectional comparative study conducted over a period of one year from May 2013 to April 2014. A total of 362 women were selected for the study. These women were briefed about the nature of the study and a written informed consent was obtained. The demographic data and obstetrical history were documented on predesigned proforma. The data obtained was analysed using percentages and comparison done using chi-square test for discrete variables.Results: Incidence of Nuchal Cord was 17.7% among study cases. Based on this study gestational age may have an effect on the presence of nuchal cord (p<0.05). Out of 64 cases with nuchal cord’, 11.4% of cases had meconium stained liquor present. 9.8% of cases with nuchal cord had FHR irregularity, which was significantly less as compared to 20.0% of cases who did not show FHR irregularity. This was statistically significant. (p=0.032). 18.7% of mother who showed presence of nuchal cord had delivery by caesarean section. 22.7% of cases with nuchal cord had NICU admissions, which was insignificantly more as compared to 17.0% of cases who did not have NICU admissions.Conclusions: Intrapartum events such as meconium staining of liquor and foetal heart rate irregularities were more commonly associated with nuchal cord but it did not affect the perinatal outcome. However, the mode of delivery was independent of the presence of nuchal cord, thereby reducing the morbidity to the mother. Hence nuchal cord is not associated with adverse perinatal outcomes and the presence of a nuchal cord per se is not found to be an indication of operative delivery.

What Does Methodology Mean for Learning Analytics?
Authors: Bergner Yoav , Gray Geraldine , Lang Charles
Published: August 2018

The diversity of substantive expertise and analytical techniques encompassed by learning analytics can be a challenge for understanding and interrogating methodological choices. But active pursuit of methodological clarity is essential to productive multi-vocality. This was the focus of the LAK ’17 Methodology in Learning Analytics workshop from which the idea for this special section arose. Discussions were framed using a building metaphor of developing structurally sound bridges between disciplinary methods. Strong arguments are buttressed by supporting evidence and warrants but also engage with potential alternative explanations. Papers in this special section further the discussion and span a range of relevant approaches including sensitivity analysis, model evaluation and model fit, causal inference, and visualisation as a methodology. All advance the case of structural integrity in this bridge discipline and highlight the importance of adequate descriptions of methodological considerations to aid our interrogation of methodology and epistemology.

Authors: Brinkhuis Matthieu J. S. , Savi Alexander O. , Hofman Abe D. , Coomans Frederik , Van der Maas Han L. J. , Maris Gunter
Published: August 2018

With the advent of computers in education, and the ample availability of online learning and practice environments, enormous amounts of data on learning become available. The purpose of this paper is to present a decade of experience with analyzing and improving an online practice environment for math, which has thus far recorded over a billion responses. We present the methods we use to both steer and analyze this system in real-time, using scoring rules on accuracy and response times, a tailored rating system to provide both learners and items with current ability and difficulty ratings, and an adaptive engine that matches learners to items. Moreover, we explore the quality of fit by means of prediction accuracy and parallel item reliability. Limitations and pitfalls are discussed by diagnosing sources of misfit, like violations of unidimensionality and unforeseen dynamics. Finally, directions for development are discussed, including embedded learning analytics and a focus on online experimentation to evaluate both the system itself and the users’ learning gains. Though many challenges remain open, we believe that large steps have been made in providing methods to efficiently manage and research educational big data from a massive online learning system.
Metrics for Discrete Student Models: Chance Levels, Comparisons, and Use Cases
Authors: Bosch Nigel , Paquette Luc
Published: August 2018

Metrics including Cohen’s kappa, precision, recall, and F1 are common measures of performance for models of discrete student states, such as a student’s affect or behaviour. This study examined discrete model metrics for previously published student model examples to identify situations where metrics provided differing perspectives on model performance. Simulated models also systematically showed the effects of imbalanced class distributions in both data and predictions, in terms of the values of metrics and the chance levels (values obtained by making random predictions) for those metrics. Random chance level for F1 was also established and evaluated. Results for example student models showed that over-prediction of the class of interest (positive class) was relatively common. Chance-level F1 was inflated by over-prediction; conversely, maximum possible values for F1 and kappa were negatively impacted by over-prediction of the positive class. Additionally, normalization methods for F1 relative to chance are discussed and compared to kappa, demonstrating an equivalence between kappa and normalized F1. Finally, implications of results for choice of metrics are discussed in the context of common student modelling goals, such as avoiding false negatives for student states that are negatively related to learning.

Consumer concerns about food safety have been translated into policy in consuming countries, including pesticide residues in cocoa. Such policy changes have an impact on cocoa producers and other supply chain stakeholders, as they have to comply with legislation or risk losing lucrative markets. Consequently, development and implementation of best practice for pesticide use is critical, but major challenges exist in-country. The chapter provides an overview of pesticide use in cocoa-producing countries and the challenge of improving pesticide regulation, before moving on to consider the development of best practice for pesticide use. The chapter provides detailed case studies on establishing baselines, promoting awareness and developing a holistic approach. Finally, the chapter looks ahead to future research trends and provides guidance for further reading in this area.

Published: August 2018

Primary ciliar dyskinesia is а rare orphan disease known for its multiple and variable symptoms caused by the marked genetic heterogenity beyond. As per the abundant symptoms in pediatric patients, a frequent inflammatory diseases of both upper and lower respiratory tract segments are the key points. A Sieberth-Kartagener Syndrome is a classical form of the primary ciliary dyskinesia covered such symptoms as the reversal placement of internal organs, chronic bronchoectases, nasal cavity hypoplasia and/or sinusitis. According to some foreign research, the age mediana value estimated in Eastern and Western European countries for a “Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia” diagnosis is equal to about 5 years. A lack of early diagnosis is nothing but a direct consequence of the poor level of awareness, so common for a primary health care system. This itself leads to increased rates of patients disability. This report deals with clinical peculiarities, diagnostics and treatment details observed and administered in a primary ciliary dyskinesia (Kartagener Syndrome) patient. Noteworthy, both mother’s tough obstetric-gynecological profile and a harsh course of this particular pregnancy were indeed taken into account. Up until 11 months, this patient was subjected to a non-clinical treatment on numerous respiratory infection occasions. A “Kartagener Syndrome” diagnosis was estimated in our clinic on the basis of laboratory and instrumental tests data. Thus, the latter prove a complete reversal of internal organs placement. Further, this diagnosis was re-confirmed by histomorphological patterns revealed in the nasal epithelial biopsy study. A difficulty to come up with the Kartagener Syndrome diagnosis at the pre-hospital treatment stage is in a focus of this specific case report. Noteworthy, we have succeed with the early diagnosis of Kartagener Syndrome and then with a following efficient therapy conducted in our clinic.

The Boundaries of Russian Identity Analysis of the Concept of Russkiy Mir in Contemporary Russian Online Media
Authors: Kozdra Michał
Published: August 2018

This article set out to present selected outcomes of my research on the concept of “russkiy mir” in contemporary ethnocentric online Russian media. Perspectives for further analysis were also presented. The analytical methodology involved a semantic and cultural analysis of a dataset from a cognitive and anthropological viewpoint including elements of critical discourseanalysis. The concept of “russkiy mir” in the ethnocentric discourse investigated in this article was based on an idea of forming a supranational Russian civilization. This community would unite all Russians, the Russian diaspora and all those learning Russia, and declaring the attachment to Russian culture. Proponents of this discourse assume that “russkiy mir” will have a geopolitical dimension, imperial pretenses and will transgress state borders, and claiming for itself a transcontinental realm. A nationality dimension is also supposed to be an important aspect according to the discourse participants. The main ethnos is to be that of the Russian nation, around which other ethnoses will congregate. The Orthodox religion is supposed to be an important co-constituent of “russkiy mir”.
When the Unspoken Speaks: As Seen in Andriani Marshanda’s You Used Me and Letter to God
Authors: Akun Akun
Published: August 2018

Repressed unresolved psychological conflicts for some people can be safely channeled into a poetical literary work as—despite its short and audio-visually framed and limited form— it could speak of bigger ideas with more freedom, and English as a medium had its own capacity to truthfully communicate the ideas. The goal of this study was to reveal the spoken and the unspoken truths behind Andriani Marshanda’s poetic expressions and their visualization in The Unspoken 1: You Used Me and The Unspoken 2: Letter to God. This research focused on how English played an important role in safely channeling the ideas and how oxymoronic metaphors used in the poems speak more of the unspoken words and worlds within the poems. It used library research by employing a textual analysis of the selected poems using Macherey’s concept of the spoken and unspoken. The additional data were also taken from the real life of the author found in printed and electronic media. The analysis will be focused on the revelation of the silence or unspoken that unconsciously infiltrates the spoken or expressed lines of the poems. It is concluded that the poems speak more bluntly of the persona’s lack of freedom, feelings of being exploited, incongruous and dilemmatic state of mentality, and a newly perceived, happily anticipated, and more truly liberated life.

The gender-role identity is analyzed as a consciousness component, which reflects  understanding of oneself as a representative of the defined sex. It  also includes stereotypes about masculinity and femininity and the  attitude towards them. The peculiarities of preschool age are described from the position gender-role identity formation. The  empirical research is directed not only at the description of gender- role identity of senior preschool children, but also at the description  and the analysis of features of the status of gender-role identity in  preschool children from full and incomplete families. It has been  proven that the status of gender-role identity of the senior preschool children is only partly defined by the structure of family. Stereotypic  ideas of differences between boys and girls most often are found in  children from disfunctional families, whereas children from full  families more often display an attractive image of the opposite sex.  Children from twoparent families incorrectly identify themselves with age.
NAIVE SEMANTIZATION AND LEXICOGRAPHY OF MONGOLIAN BIONYMS: THE CASE OF "HARE" BIONYM
Authors: Battulga G.
Published: August 2018

The article is devoted to the study of the theory of naive linguistics and the principles of its research. The material of the research is the  results of psycholinguistic experiment. The results show ordinary  representations of native speakers of Mongolian language. The words denoting flora and fauna (bionyms) were used as the stimuli for the  experiment. The responses in the experiment have revealed a  specific character of word functioning in the language consciousness  of Mongolian native speakers. To describe a naive view on a word  meaning, the respondents used associations in the form of  spontaneous definitions and citations that include the word stimulus  as well as comparisons it inspired. The research has made it possible to reconstruct a fragment of the ethnical language world view as a  component of the language consciousness of Mongolian native  speakers. In the conclusion the author gives a description of these bionyms, compiled on the basis of lexicographic processing of  reactions and within the framework of the naive linguistics theory.
TEXT MANIFESTATION OF THE LINGUISTIC PERSONA FEATURES: TYPOLOGICAL ASPECT
Authors: Bogachanova T. D.
Published: August 2018

The analysis of the secondary texts obtained as a result of a linguistic experiment has allowed the author to create a degree  classification for the emergence of metalinguistic consciousness and  to compare them to personalization and depersonalization  tendencies. The classification, as well as various metaindicators,  linguistic and extralinguistic factors make it possible to create a  linguistic persona typology based on personalization and depersonalization tendencies, text generation and text  perceiving. The article features a new classification of linguistic  persona on the basis of two criteria: degrees of the emergence of  metalinguistic consciousness and text generation and perception.  The analysis conducted has revealed that types of the linguistic  persona are divided into two groups depending on the unique or  variable type of the linguistic persona established in the process of  text perceprion. This article represents results of the analysis of  texts belonging to various types of unambiguous linguistic persona.

Authors: Kazmina M. V. , Yuzupkina E. S.
Published: August 2018

The article features the historiography and sources on the issue of physical culture and sport developmentin the Kemerovo region at the turn of the XXI century. Having analyzed a wide range of  publications (monographs, articles, dissertation abstracts, academic  and journalistic literature), the authors came to the conclusion that certain material has already been summarized on this topic. The study offers a detailed description of the changes in the legislative  field that were made to ensure a better functioning of the system of  physical culture and sports in the Kemerovo region in 1991–2007.  However, the development process of physical culture and sport  movement in the region remains poorly investigated. The same can  be said about the issues related to the material-technical base of the  Kuzbass sports and the system of sport personnel training in the region. In the domestic literature there are no works devoted to the  complex process of development of physical culture and sports  movement in the Kemerovo region in the period. The analysis of the  sources on the selected theme has revealed that the most  informative among them were two classes of written sources: legislative and documentary. The available range of sources has allowed the authors to trace the process of development of  physical culture and sports region in the conditions of changing socio-economic development model of the country.
MODELS OF INTERPRETATION OF THE EVENT IN THE DISCOURSE OF THE RUSSIAN PRESS
Authors: Ineshina S. V.
Published: August 2018

The article considers the mechanism of interpretation of reality in the Russian media discourse through the prism of the event – a key  category of journalistic text. From the position of the theory of  variational interpretation of the text, the event appears as a "verbal  construct", which is represented in the media by a certain number  (n-number) of interpretative-cognitive models, each of which is  constructed by n-number of semantic versions – variants of the  author's interpretation of reality. The created model is determined by a number of factors: information expectations of the addressee,  communicative intention of the author, specificity of media and  socio-political contexts. In this case, the nature of the event  (catastrophe event or provocation event) is the starting point for the  development of the vector of author's interpretation, setting  markers on the basis of which an interpretation field of a  monocentric or polycentric type is formed. The first type is  represented by one interpretation-cognitive model that dominates  the discourse of the Russian press; the second type of field includes  a certain (more than two) number of interpretative-cognitive models. The mechanism for interpreting events of different types is  examined on specific examples that have received wide resonance in  Russian media, e.g. the catastrophe event "The accident with the  Bulgaria ship "produces a monocentric type of the interpretation field; the provocation event "The action of the punk group "Pussy  Riot" in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior" forms a polycentric interpretation field.
COGNITIVE BASES OF CONVERTIBILITY IN VERBS OF THE "FLIESEN" TYPE AND SUCH CONSTRUCTIONS AS «VERSEHEN MIT FLIESEN» IN THE GERMAN LANGUAGE
Authors: Lobanovskaya E. V.
Published: August 2018

The article features the role of predication in the process of actual utterance generation. Predication forms the logical structure of an  abstract model situation, whose components are connected by  logical valency. Reflection of reality in the mind of the speaker occurs in the form of logical-grammatical predicates. A predicative sign of  the logical-grammatical category of predicativity constitutes a  sentence. It implies various logical and grammatical predicates. They are immanently inherent in thematic groups of verbs, with the help  of which they are actualized in the utterance. The material of the study is represented by such constructions as "versehen mit  Fliesen" and similar verbs, e.g. "fliesen". The prepositional /  unrepresentative group of the noun acts as a semantic marker in the thematic group of verbs. The research employs H. Glintz’s test  elimination and proves that the semantic marker is a part of the  actual predicate. Convertibility of constructions with a prepositional /  non-prepositional noun and the corresponding verb allows us to  conclude that they have a common logical-semantic predicate in the  "deep" plane. The results of the research can be successfully used in  courses of theoretical and systematizing grammar, stylistics and text interpretation.
PERSONNEL RETENTION IN THE SOVIET INDUSTRY IN THE MID-TO-LATE 1940S: ADMINISTRATIVE ENFORCEMENT AND / OR MATERIAL INCENTIVES
Authors: Klinova M. A.
Published: August 2018

The article features the practical methods of the "personnel retention" policy at the domestic industry enterprises in the first  post-war years, their orientation and efficiency. The list of research  sources includes statistical data, archival materials, normative  documents of the period, including the previously unpublished  Resolutions of the USSR Council of Ministers. It has been revealed  that the main cause of staff turnover was unfavorable living  conditions of workers and supply problems. In the Soviet industry, the personnel retention problem was solved by strict  administrative control, as well as by the expansion of benefits and  social guarantees for employees. Personnel retention methods, as  well as the amount of benefits and the severity of the punishment  applied to employees for violation of labor discipline, were  distributed in accordance with the key link principle: employees of  state priority sectors (coal mining, metallurgy) experienced a higher  concentration of benefits and sanctions. In the conditions of limited  resources, this principle made it possible to achieve the desired social a nd economic tasks.
COLLECTION OF BAPTISMAL CROSSES FROM THE ARCHEOLOGICAL SITE OF KULAKOVO III IN THE LOWER TOM’ VALLEY
Authors: Sizyov A. S. , Ermolenko L. N. , Solovyev A. I.
Published: August 2018

The article presents the results of the study on staurographic material of the XVII–XVIII centuries from the settlement of Kulakovo III, a site that can presumably be identified with the village of  Korchuganovo marked in the “Drafting Book (Atlas) of Siberia” by S.  Remezov. The study introduces a collection of 26 metal baptismal  crosses into scientific use; the authors offer a detailed description,  typological characteristics and chronological attributions of the  Christian cult objects under analysis, as well as identify their  analogues in published studies. Most of the crosses discussed belong to type 4 according to the classification developed by V. I. Molodin,  which is based on the materials of Eastern Siberia (Ilimsk stockaded  town). These are specimens with detailed iconography and elements  complementing the outline of the object – rays radiating from the  cross bars, twin volutes surrounding the cross bars like a "wreath" or "tongues of flame" along the edges of the lower blade, etc.  Morphological and iconographic analysis of the crosses indicates their individuality. The range of analogies to the crosses from Kulakovo III  includes materials from northern and north-eastern Russia,  which confirms the data from written sources about the initial  territories of the migration of the Russian population in the Tom’ region.
