PEISISTRATOS AND MILTIADES THE ELDER: WHO WAS THE INITIATOR OF THE COLONY MOVE IN THRACIAN CHERSONESE?
Authors: Aleksandrova Ol'ga Igorevna
Published: December 2018

The article aims to find out who was the initiator of the Athenian settlement move in Thracian Chersonese in the middle of the VI century B.C.: was it exclusively a private expedition of Miltiades the Elder, or is it possible to trace the state participation in the person of the tyrant Peisistratos? Basing on the analysis of scarce and contradictory information from ancient texts, the author comes to the conclusion that the settlement establishment was beneficial to both parties, consistent with the spirit of the Athenian foreign policy of that period, and undoubtedly contributed to strengthening the position of Athens in the Thracian region, therefore it is possible to assume Peisistratos’ direct involvement in the arrangement of the Athenian expedition to Thracian Chersonese.

Authors: Tecimen Hüseyin Barış , Sevgi Orhan , Akkaya Muhammet , Sevgi Ece , KIZILARSLAN HANÇER Çağla , ALTUNDAĞ ÇAKIR Ernaz
Published: December 2018

Soil physical and chemical
properties were compared in stone pine (Pinus
pinea L.) plantations vs neighboring natural sites. The pine plantations
were selected at ages of 3, 10, 20 and 30 in Biga (Çanakkale-Western Turkey) to
harvest adequate sampling plots and the natural sampling plots were settled to
the vicinity of the plantation plots. The soils were investigated in terms of
chemical such as pH and EC (µS/cm) and physical such as soil volume weight,
fine soil weight and skeleton weight (g/L) which were taken from 0-5 and 5-15
cm depths from 9, 5, 8 and 8 sites (30 sites in total) for 3, 10, 20 and
30-year-old sampling plots. We assumed that, plantation causes decrease at pH,
EC, soil volume weight, fine soil weight and increase at skeleton weight which
would have occurred because of tillage and in contrast, the soils in natural
sites, should have the opposite properties of plantation sites. The results
revealed that; pH was lower in natural plots than plantation at 20-year-old
sites (no significant difference in other plots), EC did not show any
significant difference between natural and plantation sites. Soil volume weight
was higher in plantation plots than natural lands at 10 and 20-year-old sites;
fine soil weight was higher in natural land which is in concordance with our
hypothesis; and skeleton weight of natural sites was one third of plantation
sites. The results showed that; soil chemical and physical properties do not
alter immediately after the plantation of a natural site but is an efficient
factor on soil.

Authors: Murtadha Rahmah , Abubakar Syukri
Published: December 2018

Masyarakat Bima sebagaimana masyarakat lainnya di dunia, memilikisejarahnya sendiri dalam menapaki kehidupan. Sejarah telah mencatat bagaimanapasang surut kehidupan masyarakat Bima yang dimulai dari masa Naka danNchui, masa kerajaan dan kesultanan, hingga bergabung dengan NKRI. Tentusejarah pertumbuhan dan perkembangan masyarakat Bima sangat berbeda dengansejarah masyarakat daerah lainnya karena memiliki sejarah dan keunikan masingmasing.Oleh karenanya, yang menjadi fokus dalam tulisan ini adalah bagaimanapertumbuhan dan perkembangan masyarakat Bima yang unik tersebut jikadikaitkan dengan teori menuju masyarakat Heterogen yang ditawarkan olehHerbert Spencer. Dalam teorinya tersebut, ia menyatakan bahwa masyarakat ituberkembang secara evolutif bukan secara revolusi. Apakah masyarakat Bimatermasuk dalam kategori masyarakat yang berkembang secara evolutif ataurevolusi. Untuk menjawab hal itu, penulis mengumpulkan data pustaka baikberupa buku tentang Bima ataupun naskah-naskah kerajaan terkait.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa masyarakat Bima mengalamipertumbuhan dan perkembangan secara evolutif sebagaimana yang dijelaskanoleh teori evolusi yang diwacanakan oleh Herbert Spencer. Evolusi tersebut dapatdilihat dari perubahan masyarakat yang homogen sejak masa Naka (pra sejarah),masa Ncuhi (proto sejarah atau ambang sejarah), masa klasik (masa pertengahankerajaan), menuju masyarakat heterogen yang dimulai pada masa pertengahankerajaan, masa kesultanan hingga bergabung dengan NKRI. Perubahan itu dapatdilihat dari cara mereka hidup, keyakinan yang dianut dan cara merekamembangun sistem pemerintahan pada tiap tahapnya.
How Obama’s Immigration “Executive Action” Respects the Rule of Law
Authors: Shane Peter M.
Published: December 2018

This article defends President Obama’s actions on immigration as consistent with the rule of law: they were rooted in statutory authority; the President did not advance innovative claims of inherent executive authority to support the DHS programs; the Justice Department articulated limiting principles for DHS non-enforcement discretion that plainly and persuasively distinguished the DHS programs from other cases in which courts have condemned administrative inaction as an abdication of statutory responsibility; the programs enhanced DHS accountability for the administration of the deportation system; and the programs reduced the exercise of arbitrary discretion in the handling of individual cases involving undocumented immigrants.
Dodd-Frank Prohibits Purely Policy-Based Dismissals of the CFPB Director
Authors: Shane Peter M.
Published: December 2018

The president may not fire the director of the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau for purely policy-based reasons: Dodd-Frank gives the director a fixed term and limits the grounds for removability to “good cause.” Further, Congress designated the CFPB as an “independent agency” under the Paperwork Reduction Act. As a consequence, presidents may not demand policy agreement from a CFPB Director, as long as the Director implements policies in good faith compliance with the law.
A Compromise on Superdelegates
Authors: Shane Peter M.
Published: December 2018

This article argues it would be a mistake for the Democratic Party to eliminate any role for so-called “superdelegates” in the selection of future presidential candidates. The article poses a principled compromise instead: reducing the number of unpledged delegates by disallowing anyone selected only by the other members of the DNC—but who would not otherwise qualify for an unpledged delegate role—to serve in that role.
Embracing me-time: Motivation for solitude during transition to college
Authors: Nguyen Thuy-vy Thi , Werner Kaitlyn M. , Soenens Bart
Published: December 2018

The present research examined the role of university students’ motivation for spending time alone in their adjustment to college life, as well as the parenting correlates of students’ healthy motivation for solitude. Two studies were conducted on first-year college students in the United States (n = 147) and Canada (n = 223). In Study 1, data was collected at three different time points, separated by two-week intervals. In Study 2, data was collected at two different time points, separated by a month. The results revealed that, for those who reported perceiving lower social belonging, approaching solitary time for autonomous reasons was linked to greater self-esteem (Study 1), and greater sense of relatedness to others and lower loneliness (Study 2). These findings suggest that endorsing a healthy motivation for solitude is not necessarily indicative of social ill-being. Additionally, students’ autonomous motivation for spending time alone was associated with having parents that are autonomy supportive and that promote a sense of independence.
A correlation of trans cerebellar diameter by ultrasonography and gestational age in second and third trimester
Authors: Shah Ankur , Shah Manish Kumar
Published: December 2018

Background and Objectives: Increased perinatal mortality incidence has been seen amongst patients whose precise gestational age is unknown. Trans cerebellar diameter is a newer parameter in the estimation of gestational age. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim to determine the accuracy of trans cerebellar diameter in predicting gestational age during second and third trimester of pregnancy.

Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted in the Mithila Hospital,Janakpurdham for a period of 1 year. The study included a total of 160 females with singleton pregnancies during their 2nd or 3rd trimester. The characteristic butterfly appearance of the cerebellum hinted the location of posterior fossa. All the data was arranged in a tabulated form and analyzed statistically. Data was expressed in the form of mean with standard deviation. SPSS software16 was used for the analysis of the data.

Results: The present study enrolled 160 subjects, out of which 80 were in their second trimester and 80 were in their third trimester.  The mean transcerebellar diameter of subjects in second trimester was 20.22±4.87 and it was 36.01±2.89 amongst subjects in their third trimester. As the gestational age advances, the transcerebellar diameter also increases with it in a linear manner.

Conclusion: Transcerebellar diameter can be used as a reliable parameter to estimate the gestational age and is also not altered in cases of intrautering growth restriction.

Published: December 2018

In 2016-2018 in the competitive variety testing there was conducted the study of peas on the fields of research crop rotation of the laboratory of legumes breeding and seed-growing of the FSBSI “ARC “Donskoy” located in the zone of unstable humidity of the Rostov region (Zernograd district). The analysis of the obtained seeds was carried out in the laboratory of biochemical estimation of breeding material and grain quality of the FSBSI “ARC “Donskoy”. The objects of research were new pea lines of breeding of the FSBSI “ARC “Donskoy”, which differed in their morphological, biological and economically valuable traits and properties. During the years of research, the meteorological conditions of the vegetation period of peas were contrasting, which made it possible to objectively estimate the lines in the climatic conditions. In the competitive variety testing for the period of 2016-2018, the evaluation of new promising pea lines due to their productivity and protein percentage resulted in identification the leafless pea lines “G-1002” and “G-1003” which exceeded the standard variety “Aksaisky Usaty 5” in productivity (0.30 and 0.39 t/ha) and protein yield (0.08 and 0.10 t/ha, respectively). There is a high correlation between seed productivity and protein content (0.95). There is a low correlation between protein percentage in seeds and protein yield (0.35). There is no correlation between productivity and protein percentage in seeds (0.03). The analysis of correlations shows that pea breeding on productivity directly affects on protein yield, i. e. the larger seed productivity, the larger protein percentage. The most productive pea lines are going to be used in further breeding work.

Perpindahan Panas pada Media Berpori Menggunakan Metode Elemen Hingga
Authors: Ningsih Surya , Srigutomo Wahyu
Published: December 2018

Masuknya aliran panas dari bawah reservoir ke dalam medium berpori di dalamnya mempengaruhi kondisi tekanan, entalpi, dan temperatur di dalam reservoir. Hal ini terjadi karena panas mengalir dari daerah bertemperatur tinggi ke daerah bertemperatur lebih rendah. Panas mengalir melalui daerah patahan (fracture zone) yang memiliki permeabilitas dan porositas lebih tinggi dari daerah sekitarnya di dalam reservoir untuk kemudian terjadi perpindahan panas secara konduksi menuju daerah sekitarnya. Tulisan ini mensimulasikan proses perpindahan panas dengan mengamati distribusi temperatur dan aliran fluida pada medium berpori. Metode numerik yang digunakan adalah metode elemen hingga. Hasil yang ditampilkan adalah distribusi tekanan, kecepatan aliran fluida, dan distribusi temperatur dan kemudian diinterpretasikan.Kata kunci: permeabilitas, porositas, kecepatan, distribusi temperatur, metode elemen hingga.

Published: December 2018

The paper explores parasitic diseases of calves and young cattle in the Republic of Belarus and finds out that they are mainly revealed as parasitocenosis with great diversity of followers. The agents of gastrointestinal parasitocenosis and the degree of infestation by them are closely related with the age of an animal. Associative parasitosis was observed in calves aged 2 months. The authors designed the composition of complex specimen Viracoccha, which includes modern anticoccidial, anthelmintic, organic acids and tocopherol acetate. This concentration allows to treat animals from parasitic protozoa and helminthes and protect their immune system. When exploring acute and chronic toxicity of new complex specimen Viracoccha, the authors highlight that it does not cause any deviations from the physiological norm in clinical condition in mice and according to GOST 12.1.007-76 Harmful substances belong to the 4th class of hazard (low hazard substances), it does not spoil the skin of laboratory animals and does not have sensitizing (allergenic) ability, it does not cause intoxication and any deviations from the physiological norm in rabbits which receive specimen as preventive specimen and 3 times exceeding dose. The effect of Viracoccha dosed 100 mg/kg of live weight in the associative infestation (Strongyloides+ Eimeria) of calves was 100%.

Authors: Zaliubovskaya E. Iu.
Published: December 2018

The article explores hematological and biochemical parameters of blood, dynamics of live weight gain of young cattle of black-and-white breed when being fed feeding of a fodder additive. The experiment was conducted under conditions of dairy complex Priamurye of Tambov district of Amur region in 2017-2018. The researchers arranged experimental groups of calves by means of similar pairs taking into account age, live weight and physiological condition. There were three groups of animals arranged, one control group and two experimental ones. Each group included 10 calves aged 12 months. The conditions of young cattle keeping were similar. The control group calves were fed with basic diet at the farm, the 1st experimental group received iodine, cobalt and selenium in mineral form, whereas the 2nd experimental group received the same elements in helated (organic) form. At the end of the experiment, the coefficients of digestibility of crude protein, crude fat, nitrogen-free extractives and crude fiber were determined on the basis of the data on the amount of nutrients consumed and isolated by animals with feces. When microelements in mineral and helated forms were included in the basic diet of young cattle, microelements in organic form had a positive effect on hematological and biochemical parameters of blood of calves of the 2nd experimental group. Application of elements in organic form in the diets of young cattle increased digestibility coefficients of nutrients. This contributed to live weight gain, average daily and absolute growth of animals in the 2nd experimental group.

Authors: Loginov S. I. , Riasnianskiy M. A.
Published: December 2018

Following Russian classification of economic activities, veterinary activities are divided into the following types: activities related to treatment and health control of farm animals; activities related to treatment and health control of domestic animals; activities of veterinary assistants and other personnel; clinical and pathological and other types of diagnostic work in relation to animals; activities of emergency veterinary care for animals. The authors speak about legal regulations in Russia for providers of veterinary services, anti-epizootic and preventive measures. These regulations are fixed at the national level and allow to evaluate the procedures of any veterinary service institution engaged in dealing with veterinary services. According to GOST R 55634-2013 “Services for non-productive animals”. General requirements to the objects of veterinary activity is to “distinguish three types of objects of veterinary activity: veterinary office, veterinary clinic, veterinary hospital (with a hospital for temporary stay of an animal more than a day). The laws regulate the requirements for veterinary facilities, special requirements for engineering systems and equipment, microclimate, minimum requirements for premises and equipment. The legislation provides voluntary certification of veterinary facilities, confirming their compliance with a certain regulation, the validity of the location of the facility and the list of veterinary services provided therein.

The paper explores the effect of heterolytics on the basis of apathogenic bacilli Vetom 1 and Vetom 1.23 when applying by means of different ways on quantitative and qualitative parameters of white blood cells of lactating cows. The researchers arranged 4 experimental groups and a control one. Animals of the 1st and 2nd experimental groups received a microbial specimen Vetom 1 dosed 50 and 12.5 mg / kg of body weight, respectively, once a day during 30 days. Animals of the 3rd and 4th experimental groups received microbial preparation Vetom 1.23 dosed 1.0 and 0.5 µl / kg of body weight, respectively, once a day during 30 days. The cows from the control group didn’t receive the specimens. The experiment resulted in the fact that investigated specimens are physiologic for animal organisms and changes in leukocytes and their fractions occur with the same regularity and within the physiological norm. During application of Vetom 1 and Vetom 1.23 the number of leukocytes, monocytes and granulocytes was increased, and the number of lymphocytes decreased. Upon termination of specimen application, the authors found out higher level of leukocytes, monocytes and granulocytes on the 60th day of research, whereas the number of lymphocytes when using Vetom 1 dosed 50 mg/kg of weight at the level of analogues from the control, and in animals of other experimental groups – decreases. The severity of changes in the studied components depended on the specimen used and the dose of it. Maximum increase in white blood cells, monocytes and granulocytes either in the period of specimen application, and after it was observed during application of Vetom 1 dosed 50 mg/kg. Granulocytic immunity is modulated by application of Vetom 1
