Lessons to be Learned from Bimodal Bilingualism
Authors: Lillo-Martin Diane , Gagne Deanna , Chen Pichler Deborah
Published: October 2022

This article presents a selective overview of topics related to the language experience of early bimodal bilinguals - individuals who are raised from an early age using two languages from two different modalities, typically spoken (or written) and signed. We show that deaf and hearing bimodal bilinguals may display patterns of bilingualism that are similar to unimodal bilinguals in some ways, such as the use of both languages in a single situation or even a single utterance. Nevertheless, there are also differences between bimodal and unimodal bilinguals, and differences among different subgroups of bimodal bilinguals, given large variation in relative access to the dominant and minority language(s) in their environment and their differential experiences in schooling and interactions with potential interlocutors. Moreover, we review studies discussing potential advantages of the sign modality and advantages of bilingualism in this population. We hope to highlight the importance of considering children’s overall language experience, including the age(s) at which they are exposed to each of their languages, the richness of their experiences with each of the languages, and the ways that the language-learning experience may contribute to the child’s linguistic and cognitive development.
Gestures and Adaptive Niches
Authors: Grose Donovan Richard
Published: October 2022

This proposal presents an evolutionary analysis of three types of co-speech gestures: symbolic emblems, indexical pointing gestures and iconic representational gesticulations. Synthesizing insights from a range of published sources in gestural studies, general linguistics and sign language linguistics, primate studies and analyses of biological evolution, these gestures are analyzed as evolved traits adapted to particular niches or roles within broader systems. Niche boundaries are comprised of an element’s distinct properties and functions, routes of learning and transmission and degrees of innateness and evolvability within populations. Rather than elements distributed along a flat productive-analytical continuum or as stages along diachronic pathways, these gestural traits are analyzed in terms of adaptive peaks and valleys with a landscape representing the broader system comprising human gesture and language. The same evolutionary processes are used to analyze gestures in speaking populations and the linguistic traits derived from gestures in signing populations. This approach offers new ways of approaching proposed linguistic universals and long-standing issues such as listability in sign languages, while offering a formal approach to gestures.
Prosody in Sign Languages
Authors: B. Wilbur Ronnie
Published: October 2022

This chapter addresses the debate concerning the status of nonmanuals (head, face, body) as prosodic or not by exploring in detail how prosody is structured in speech and what might be parallels and differences in sign. Prosody is divided into two parts, rhythmic phrasing (timing, syllables, stress), and intonation. To maximize accessibility, in each part, an introduction to what is known for speech is presented, followed by what is known and/or claimed for sign languages. With the exception of the internal structure of syllables, sign languages are very similar to spoken languages in the rhythmic domain. In the intonational domain, the parallels are less strong, in part because analogies of nonmanual functions to spoken intonation tend to be based on older/simpler models of intonation. There needs to be much more detailed research on sign languages to catch up with the recent research on spoken intonation.

Published: October 2022

Corruption is an extraordinary crime (Eradication of corruption is not enough to be overcome by relying only on the process of law enforcement but preventive measures need to be taken by instilling anti-corruption values in schools. The purpose of this study was to determine the implementation of anti-corruption education in schools, the learning strategies used by teachers in the learning process, and the obstacles experienced by schools in their implementation. This research is a qualitative research with a descriptive delivery. Data is collected by In-depth Interview of the school principal, teacher, and students. Data analysis techniques were performed using the Miles and Huberman Models. The results show that the implementation of anti-corruption education has not been done in schools where teachers have not integrated anti-corruption behavior in the learning process. Teachers have not been able to set an example for students and teachers have not been able to implement learning strategies to increase student interest and motivation to reduce corrupt behavior.

Terwujudnya kesetaraan dan keadilan gender ditandai dengan tidak adanya diskriminasi antara perempuan dan laki-laki sehingga dengan demikian antara perempuan dan laki-laki  memiliki akses, kesempatan berpartisipasi dan control atas pembangunan serta memperoleh manfaat yang setara dan adil dari pembangunan. Memiliki akses bearti memiliki peluang atau kesempatan untuk menggunakan sumber daya dan memiliki wewenang untuk mengambil keputusan terhadap cara penggunaan dan hasil sumber daya tersebut. Memiliki control bearti  memiliki kewenangan penuh untuk mengambil keputusan atas penggunaan dan hasil sumber daya. Keadilan gender merupakan suatu proses dan perlakuan adil terhadap kaum laki-laki dan perempuan.. Dengan keadilan gender berarti tidak ada lagi pembekuan peran, beban ganda, subordinasi, marjinalisasi dan kekerasan terhadap perempuan maupun laki-laki.
La comprensión lectora relacionada al proceso de aprendizaje en alumnos de primer año en telesecundaria

Published: October 2022

En el municipio de Rayón, Chiapas los alumnos presentan baja comprensión lectora, lo que dificulta el entendimiento de los contenidos de los libros de texto e indicaciones generales, implicando problemas para lograr aprendizajes mayores. La comprensión lectora tiene como beneficio un mejor desempeño académico, uno de los puntos de mejoría es la comprensión de explicaciones, lecturas, indicaciones, ortografía, caligrafía y el desarrollo de la imaginación, que a la larga optimizará estos aspectos, inclusive los sociales a beneficio de rehabilitación vinculada a dichos puntos. El estado de Chiapas, es uno de los estados más bajos en alfabetización, pero el problema no es solo que los chiapanecos no tengan al alcance como aprender a leer, sino que los estudios arrojan en su mayoría, que ellos han sido orillados a sólo saber cómo s e pronuncian las letras y no se les muestra cómo pueden comprender lo que realmente se lee.
A mutable space
Authors: Brekelmans Alana
Published: October 2022

As that which troubles simplistic binaries, ruins provide an entry point for scholars to conceptualize time, space, and identity as multiple, fragmented, and mutable. This article contributes to these studies by interrogating Australian settler-colonial time-space narratives (chronotopes) of White dominance through engagement with counter-narratives of mutable materialities and identities. Through ethnography of a commemorative event in a rural Australian town, I show how peoples of mixed Aboriginal and Asian descent negotiated racialized ruins to reassert narrative agency. I argue narratives of identity—when re-remembered through spatial understandings of multiple community membership, re-lived through embodied experiences, and re-collected through affective engagement with ruins—create a mutable space to disrupt settler-colonial chronotopes, revealing narratives of hybrid, polyethnic, and polyracial belongings in Australia.
“While it lasts”
Authors: Čengić Nejra Nuna
Published: October 2022

This article traces transformations of labor through an exploration of a relatively new employment sector in supervised postsocialist, postwar Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), where internationally funded, temporary, project-based contracts are the rule. Focusing on atypical white-collar precarious workers who have strung together 10 to 25 years on successive short projects in IGOs and NGOs in Sarajevo (under the umbrella of democratization, peacebuilding and EU integration agendas), I investigate their ways of strategizing to accumulate such continuity through cultivation of three kinds of assets: sector-specific competences, favorable positionality, and a disposition of optimism. I argue that their “successful” strategizing, generally in line with neoliberal rationality and mainly developed within this sector, is facilitated by similar structural conditions of overall precarity, temporariness and provisionality in wider BiH society.

Impacts of Abusive Supervision on Employee s Creativity: The Mediating role of Psychological Empowerment ‎
Authors: Ayubi Wahidullah , Gul Habib
Published: October 2022

In some organizations, abusive supervision or behaviors discouraging employees to be productive and creative are somehow increasingly entertained by some supervisors or even managers, which somehow drives the sensibility of employees to lose self-determination, self-efficacy, trust and competence whenever they face such unethical and hostile behaviors. The current research examined the effects and relationship of abusive supervision behaviors on employees’ creativity, considering the mediating construct of psychological empowerment. However, very few studies and relevant literature existed on the topic but were of limited context. Thus, this study incorporated psychological empowerment as a mediator to test the effect and relationship mainly in the context of Afghanistan for the stated problem. This study applied statistical and quantitative research methodology and positivism philosophy with deductive reasoning based on existing theories and also used a convenient sampling method of non-probability type with a maximum sample size of 226 respondents, who were selected based on convenience and feedback to the adopted questionnaire. Meanwhile, item reliability, validity, normality of data, correlations of variables, and hypothesis testing through multiple regression analysis were performed post-data collection. The results showed normal data distribution across all variables. Therefore, parametric tests were applied to the analysis, which depicted significant and effective relationships and impacts between the variables of the study. The current study added more value to the concept of abusive supervision and its impacts on employee creativity through the mediation construct of psychological empowerment, which supported the study's needs for further exploration in wider perimeters in other countries as well. However, this study considered other variables of interest mentioned in the limitation of the current study for future research as well, which shall help and add to research further.
Effect of Credit and Liquidity Risks on Bank Stability: Empirical Evidence from Afghanistan
Authors: Faiz Hameedullah
Published: October 2022

This study investigates the effects of liquidity and credit risks on the stability of banks with empirical evidence from the Afghanistan banking sector over the period 2014–2020. The stability of a bank is measured through the dependent variable of its capital adequacy ratio. Credit risk (calculated by the ratio of impaired loans) is included as an independent variable along with liquidity risk. The bank specific factors, namely bank net interest margin, size of the bank, return on assets, loan growth rate, liquidity gap, return on equity, loan to asset and macro-economic factors, inflation and GDP growth rate are included as control variables. This study includes all 10 operationalized banks in Afghanistan, excluding the two branches of foreign banks. The panel dataset was collected from banks’ websites and the macroeconomic data was derived from World Bank reports. This study employed the simultaneous equation approach of a two-stage least square and a fixed effect panel regression model to investigate the affiliation between liquidity and credit risks and their effects on the stability of banks. The results of this study indicate that liquidity and credit risks don’t have a mutual relationship, while the interaction of both types of risks jointly impacts bank stability. It shows that NIM, loan assets, ROA, liquidity gap, loan growth rate, and ROE have positive impacts on bank stability, whereas the size of the bank has negative effects on bank stability. Among the macroeconomic variables, only the growth rate of GDP signifies a negative effect on the stability of banks. The finding under this paper recommends that the governance body of the banking sector drafts policies aimed at strengthening bank capital and taking liquidity measurement according to the best standards introduced by the Basel committee. Also, to create frameworks for measuring liquidity and capital standards.
Parents’ mHealth App for promoting early dyslexia biomarker detection in children at home or kindergarten: Feasibility, Acceptability, Economic impact and Pilot Study and Survey Results
Authors: Eroglu Gunet , Köprülü Mertali , Karabacak Berdan
Published: October 2022

The use of mobile apps in diagnosing and improving health conditions has increased in recent years. If dyslexia isdiagnosed between 3 to 6 years old, dyslexic children’s lives should evolve in a better way. With the right intervention methods, dyslexic children may not be diagnosed with dyslexia when they go to school at the age of 7. Therefore, dyslexia diagnosis at an early age is very important but mostly delayed until the age of 8 officially to give a chance to overcome any maturation delays. In the literature, there is no clinically-tested mobile app for dyslexia biomarker detection that can objectively assess and monitor the child’s situation at home or in kindergarten. Many different dyslexia biomarker detection methods exist in the literature. These methods are based on questionnaires, MRI scans, PET scans, EEG scans, and eye-tracking scans using Machine Learning methods. Each of these methods has its own drawbacks, such as the psychometric tests taking more than 1 hour, or MRI scans and eye tracking solutions being expensive and being difficult to collect data – and the results may not be accurate enough to generalize as dyslexia have many subtypes. Here we present a novel mobile app that has an embedded dyslexia biomarker based on Z-scored QEEG data that has accomplished a high accuracy rate in diagnosing dyslexia. The mobile app can be used at home by parents or teachers in kindergarten. We have collected data from 207 children (96 of them have dyslexia, 111 of them are typically developing) between 7-10 years old for 60 sessions. The data consists of the eyes-open resting state 2-minute QEEG data from 14-channels. In order to standardize the data, the Z-scores are calculated. Using the ANN machine learning method, dyslexic/normal classification has been done with a high accuracy rate (98.8%). ANN yields the highest accuracy results with standardized QEEG data in the literature. Auto Train Brain is a novel mobile app that has dyslexia biomarker detection software embedded into it. A survey is created to assess the mobile app’s dyslexia biomarker detection module’s feasibility, acceptability, and economic impact. The results have shown that the app module is found feasible and acceptable by families, however, it is found expensive to use at home.

The function of Primary arterial street is to serve as road users to connect to the national activity center and for regional activity, which is long-distance travel. On that road, there are so many roads damaged, damaged due to heavy vehicle loads and some high frequencies. The study aims to identify the type of damage and to help in how the maintenance management of this street through system will be managed and systematically stored in the form of databases. The research used Bina Marga methods, assessments of road conditions refer to the Organizing of Urban Road Maintenance Programs issued by the Directorate General of Bina Marga. The survey was divided into 20 segments per 100 meters, the data were obtained from field surveys, with damage data and field photos, and then input data of the street table that use the file formats in ArcGIS software, and later data can be further analyzed. Research shows that the dominant damage happens in grains and patching. Research results on the road of Soekarno-Hatta KM 8-10 have a pretty low rate of damage, shown by the maintenance priorities listed in a regular maintenance program, which means maintenance or repair simply top layer without repairing road structures
On the Issue of Integration of Civil Society Institutions in Preventing Corruption in Ukraine: Administrative and Legal Dimension
Authors: KISIL ZORIANA
Published: October 2022

The relevance of the subject under study is based on the exponential growth of corruption threats to the effective activities of state and local government bodies, which are the centre of consolidation of the democratic foundations of the social system. The purpose of this study was to position the main existing gaps in the modern administrative and legal dimension of streamlining the mechanisms for involving civil society institutions in preventing corruption torts in Ukraine and methods of their elimination, considering the available practices. To implement the tasks of scientific intelligence, the following methods were used: system analysis, comparative implementation, forecasting, statistical. It was found that changes in Ukraine, both in the economy and in politics, actively affect the production of new relationships, the development of modern relations between public administration bodies and public institutions (associations). It was noted that the constant relationship between state authorities and society is evidence and a guarantee of the socio-legal constancy and evolution of any state since the existing problematic issues of escalation in Ukraine cannot be solved without the full aid of society. At the same time, this also applies to civil society institutions. An integrative study of the function of civil society institutions to prevent corruption torts in public authorities was conducted. Practical proposals were given in terms of solving an entire range of theoretical and practical tasks that will prevent the commission of corruption offences by civil servants. To improve the norms of Chapter 13-A “Administrative offences related to corruption” of the Code of Ukraine of Administrative Offences, proposals were made to amend the following articles: Art. 1724 of the Code of Administrative Offences “Violation of restrictions on co-operation and combination with other types of activities”, Art. 1726 “Violation of requirements of financial control”, Art. 1728 “Illegal use of information that became known to a person in connection with the performance of official or other legally defined powers”. To ensure the effectiveness of anti-corruption institutions, it was proposed to develop and adopt the “Regulation on public anti-corruption associations (institutions) and their powers”. This paper can be useful for a wide range of readers: scientists, law enforcement officials, public anti-corruption institutions, and anyone interested in preventing corruption offences.
Compulsory Educational Measures Applied to Minors: Debatable Issues of Legal Regulation
Authors: NAVROTSKA VIRA
Published: October 2022

The need to find and develop humane and adequate measures to combat juvenile delinquency, to ensure strict individualisation in the choice of means of influencing children-offenders in combination with maximum respect for their legitimate interests, is indisputable, which is the relevance of this paper. The purpose of this study was to identify the shortcomings in the construction of norms regulating the closure of criminal proceedings against minors in connection with the application of compulsory educational measures to them, to provide recommendations for improving the relevant norms of criminal and criminal procedural legislation and the practice of their application. During the study, various methods of cognition were applied: dialectical, comparative, modelling, system-structural analysis, and dogmatic. It was proved that when applying compulsory educational measures, it is necessary to find out the attitude of a minor towards what they have done. It was noted that the effectiveness and efficiency of transferring a minor under supervision depends entirely on the capabilities and responsibility of the person assigned to supervise the minor. Therefore, even though the law does not require the consent of a legal representative to such a transfer, such consent is factually crucial. The legislators’ approach was criticised, which, instead of clearly defining the lower and upper limits of the duration of such measures, is limited to indicating that the duration of compulsory educational measures prescribed in clauses 2 and 3 of Part 2 of Article 105 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine is established by the court that appoints them. It was stated that the optimal period for these measures is one, maximum two years. Therefore, it was proposed to amend Article 105 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine aimed at establishing the period for which compulsory educational measures can be imposed, as well as at determining the circumstances that the court must consider as the basis for choosing one of these measures. It was proposed that the performance of a minor’s obligation to compensate for the damage caused should make provision for the following forms: 1) monetary, 2) in-kind – transfer of property, 3) labour. Furthermore, it was proposed that with these methods it is possible to compensate not only for property, but also for moral damage.
Religion – a Significant Factor in Law-Making and Law Enforcement Processes
Authors: KELMAN MYKHAILO S. , KELMAN ROSTYSLAV M.
Published: October 2022

The relevance of this study is conditioned upon the fact that scientific papers have almost no attempts to theoretically develop the correlation between religion and law. Legal scholars ignore the forms of influence of religion on law-making and law enforcement activities. Available research in this area is often fragmentary. The purpose of this study was to prove the relationship between religion and law based on modern legal understanding of the main principles, to clarify the role of religion in the legal sphere. The philosophical and methodological framework of this study involved the principle of pluralism in the choice of methodological approaches, methods, and techniques because they form the foundation of the scientific and cognitive process, ensure unity and purposefulness in the study of common features of religion and law in the law-making and law enforcement procedure, such as ritualism, tradition, authority, and universality. It is argued that in modern society, religious values, albeit losing their former meaning of the”sacred image” of the world, and even if Christian principles do not have a direct impact on the legal system, still play a considerable role in legal life because European legal culture was created under the influence of Christianity, a Christian view of the world. Modern European legal systems operate in a social system that has absorbed Christian religious values. This study is aimed at further development of the general theory of law, expanding the knowledge about the correlation between religion and law in the system of social regulation, improvement of legislation. The results obtained can be used in the field of law-making and law enforcement, for the preparation of textbooks, manuals, for lawyers, philosophers, sociologists, and all those who are not indifferent to the development of legal awareness.
Legal Aspects of Regulating the Legal Liability of Public Servants: Problematic Issues
Authors: PROGONIUK LIUDMYLA
Published: October 2022

This study investigates topical problematic issues of legislative regulation of the responsibility of public service employees because such responsibility is multifaceted if compared with the responsibility of an ordinary employee, as far as it is related to the range of powers assigned to a person to exercise administrative, legal, and managerial influence on public relations in the state. It is the image of the public service of Ukraine that is based on whether its representatives perform their official duties, and in case of non-performance or improper performance, state coercion is applied to the public servant according to the procedure established by law. The regulated procedure of applying a particular type of legal liability makes up not only the conviction of a public servant, but also an incentive for other persons to properly perform their official duties and prevent illegal actions. The purpose of this study was to identify and solve problematic aspects of the responsibility of public service employees. To fulfil this purpose, scientific positions on understanding the concept of legal responsibility in two aspects, as positive and retrospective responsibility, are considered, and the definition of legal responsibility of a public servant is given. It was established that if a public servant violates the provisions of the current legislation of Ukraine, the following types of legal liability will be applied: administrative, criminal, civil, material, and disciplinary. Using system-structural and system-functional methods, a systematised analysis of the regulatory framework of each of these types of legal liability was performed; methods of comparison and grouping distinguished the material and civil liability of public servants in Ukraine and identified groups of relevant principles of public servant responsibility in administrative law and in compliance with labour discipline according to current regulations. Ways to solve urgent and problematic legal aspects of the legal responsibility of public service employees were proposed.
The procurement form matters
Authors: Plekhanova L. S.
Published: October 2022

The paper is devoted to the consequences of the choice among alternative procurement procedures in terms of cost and quality results of the complex projects implementation in the existing institutional environment of the Russian Federation. The empirical analysis, that was conducted on the procurement data in the field of metro construction within Federal law No. 223, showed that the auction’s form despite the higher indicators of the level of competition at the bidding loses its efficiency by price criterion with increasing contract complexity and demonstrates consistently lower relative savings rate compared to request for proposals in the case of procurement of design, construction, and repair works. Moreover, the auction is characterized by higher indicators of contract completion delays, which have a critical role in the implementation of infrastructure projects. The approaches proposed in the paper and obtained results may be useful in the formation of planning methods for a wide class of projects in terms of procurement activity organization.

A significant and ever-growing body of papers revealing various aspects of financial development lead to polysemy regarding this concept. Fundamentally financial development is defined in this study as such alterations which help to reduce explicit and implicit costs related to the work of the financial system and providing its functions. Practically it is characterized by various configurations and scenarios depending on the place and time. Historically, we can see the transition from financial repression to financial liberalization, but the assessment of the consequences of financial liberalization remains ambiguous. Moreover, there are concerns that financialization, as a phenomenon of outpacing growth in the financial sector liabilities compared to the economy as a whole, will restrain incentives for financial development. However, financial innovation as another objectification of financial development can overcome the confines imposed by financialization. Financial innovations contribute more to increasing the financial inclusion and financial systems efficiency and to a lesser extent to financial deepening. In contemporary world financial development trends, driven by digitalization, lay the basis of the financial sector’s fundamental modernization. They will make it possible to overcome the imbalances that were previously associated with the concept of financialization, the weakening of the link between financial development and economic growth, and other structural issues.

Introduction. Wheat is the main grain cropwhich is used for fodder and food purposes in most countries of the world. Flour is the main product of wheat processing, it is subject to a number of quality and safety requirements depending on the use. The purpose of the current work was to identify varietal traits and the effect of the forecrops on the formation of technological properties of grain and flour of winter common wheat varieties, thento select the best of them according to the studied properties.Methods. There were estimated the technological properties of 17 winter common wheat varieties (Triticum aestivum L.) developed by the Agricultural Research Center “Donskoy”, 10 of them were included in the State List of Breeding Achievements, 7 of them are currently being studied. The indicators of the technological, flour-milling, biochemical and physical traits of grain were assessed in accordance with the GOSTs.Results. There has been established that for the entire period the varieties formed a large nature grain weight and corresponded to the first quality class according to the two studied forecrops. As a result of the conducted study there was found out that the choice of a forecrop affected protein percentage in grain and flour. There has been identified varieties ‘Zhavoronok’, ‘Podarok Krymu’, ‘Zolotoy Kolos’, ‘Ayuta’ and ‘Premiera’ had high flour properties according to the technological efficiency of milling (E) after both of the studied forecrops. The varieties ‘Zhavoronok’, ‘Podarok Krymu’ and ‘Premiera’ were characterized by high values of flour-milling estimation (MS).

Relevance. The list of imported varieties and rootstocks is often determined by the marketing policy of the producing countries ; they had not been tested for specific conditions. For the first time in the arid conditions of the Astrakhan region a comprehensive assessment of new introduced apple varieties of autumn and winter ripening period was carried out to select a modern adaptive assortment for arid conditions.Methods. The experiment was laid in 2012 in the experimental orchard of the Caspian Agrarian Federal Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The purpose of the research is a comprehensive assessment of apple varieties by economic and biological indicators to optimize the regional assortment and selection of the best varieties for cultivation using intensive technologies in the Astrakhan region. The article presents the results of the study of 9 new apple varieties by productivity components in the semi-desert zone of the Northern Caspian Sea.Results. It was found that in the conditions of the arid zone, the most rapid-fruiting varieties are Renet Simirenko, Prikubanskoe, Pamyati esaulu and Renet Kubansky, who fructified in the second year of vegetation (0.2–0.5 kg/tree). Prikubanskoye (31.0 t/ha), Galakub (31.1 t/ha) and Pinovo (28.7 t/ha) varieties have been characterized by high yields over the past five years. The harmonious taste of apple fruits distinguished varieties Prikubanskoe, Pamyati esaulu, Renet Kubansky (16.7–20.0). Varieties Zolotaya korona, Paskhalnoe, Galakub, Red Chief and Pinovo had sweeter fruits (21.0–35.8).

Relevance. There are enough works devoted to the LOLA therapy in treatment ofhepatopathy of various origins, however, these works are devoted to research in medicine or in laboratory studies of animals.Methods. For inclusion in the experiment, screening studies of the blood plasma of horses for the level of gamma-glutamyltransferase were carried out. The inclusion criteria was the value of the activity of glutamyltransferase in blood serum more than 22 U/l (upper limit of the reference interval). As a result of screening studies, 20 animals for inclusion in the experiment were identified, which were divided into two parity groups. The second group received L-ornithine L-aspartate as hepatotropic therapy at a dosage of 0.05 g/kg of body weight orally (in the form of a powder, previously dissolved in water) once a day for 28 days.Results. On the 7th day of the experiment, the GGT level decreased by an average of 5.63% compared to the control, on the 14th day — by 12.45%, on the 21st day — by 15.95%, at the end of the experiment — by 20.09%. Beginning on day 14 of therapy the amount of GGT in the experimental group reached reference values.Clinical trial data support l the thesis that LOLA has hepatoprotective properties in cases of hepatopathy of various origins, which is proved by a decrease in the level of GGT in the blood serum. Larger studies with a variety of designs, as well as comparison with other organ-specific measures, are needed to confirm these initial results. Thus, the use of LOLA hepatotropic therapy in liver diseases receives a new justification for use in veterinary medicine.

Introduction. Sexual dimorphism in rabbits is poorly expressed, which creates a number of difficulties in determining the sex of the animal. The need to determine sex arises during forensic veterinary examination, archaeological and special morphological studies, as well as in the study of age and breed variability of animals using craniological material. This issue is especially relevant for veterinary and sanitary examination, since the sex of the animal can affect the quality of wool or the taste of meat, which affects the quality of the products obtained.Objects and methods. The objects of the study were skulls (n = 4) of Californian breed ofrabbits and skulls (n = 4) of Soviet chinchilla breed. The stages of the study were: the creation of 8 bone preparations by boiling them in water with the addition of bicarbonate of soda, bleaching in a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution, comparison and morphometry.Results. Based on the study, it is possible to identify craniological features characteristic of male and female rabbits: the angle of the lower jaw in males is thicker and more massive, has a more pronounced masticatory fossa; supraorbital processes of male rabbits are more branched and wide; the zygomatic process of the zygomatic bone has a thin elongated shape in females, and a wide oval in males; on the horizontal plate of the palatine bone of femalerabbits there is large number of holes; in males, the lattice opening resembles a cello in shape, and the pituitary gland resembles an oval; the occipito-sphenoid fusion in male rabbits is convex, and the occipital crest has a thickening. Thanks to the use of several breeds of rabbits in the experiment, it can be proved that these patterns relate to sex, and not to breed. The results of the study can be used to determine the sex of an animal by the skull or its fragments, which is important for forensic veterinary examination when using a craniological method for determining the sex of various animal species.
